Conscious Software Development

Software development is about more than just the relationship between a person and a computer. It’s about people, the ways they work best as individuals and the ways they communicate with each other to create software that one person could not produce alone.

Successful software development requires being mindful­—being conscious—of how you work and how you interact with others to produce something that you all are proud of.
