The Psychology of Software Teams with Dr. Cat Hicks

Hello, and welcome back to Artificial Developer Intelligence, a weekly conversation show where we try to sort out the hype around AI from what it actually delivers.

My name is Shimin Zhang, and this week is a little different.

No news, no clock, and I'll be on vacation.

Instead, Dan and I sat down with Dr. Kat Hicks, psychologist for the humans in tech, to talk about the psychological impact of AI on software engineering.

You can find links to Kat's book, podcast, and newsletter in the show notes.

So please enjoy, and we'll be back in two weeks.

It is my pleasure today to chat with Dr. Kat Hicks, a psychologist for the humans in tech.

She is the principal scientist at Catharsis Consulting, where she helps software organizations transform with human-centered evidence strategies.

She is also the author of the book, The Psychology of Software Teams.

I have a copy of the book here.

Is it upside down? No, perfect.

I got a copy of the book with my own money earlier this summer.

I really enjoyed reading it.

So thank you very much for joining us today, Kat.

It's my pleasure.

Thank you for having me.
