That!

Another one important for me:

Most tech conferences are laser focused on impressing our peers

That helps us to overfocus about things that do not matter.

We overthink about the HOW and forget about the WHY?
We forget about our context, and our users, and what their user needs are.

I would never be tired to recommend this talk :)
