The Psychology of Software Teams with Dr. Cat Hicks
Engineering teams that lowered production pressure to make space for learning ended up roughly 18 months ahead of everyone else.
This week is different: no news, no clock. Shimin and Dan sit down with Dr. Cat Hicks — psychologist for the humans in tech, principal scientist at Catharsis, and author of The Psychology of Software Teams — on how organizations misunderstand developer cognition, how to learn deliberately with AI instead of letting your skills atrophy, and what a healthy AI-native team actually looks like.
Hosts: Shimin Zhang and Dan Lasky. Guest: Dr. Cat Hicks.
