What the duck is going on in tech?
We talk about performance. We rarely talk about the pressure behind it!
I wrote about the duck syndrome and why pretending to be fine is exhausting.

The idea of the internet was to have a decentralized network of computers.
But what we have today is a network with big players like Microsoft, Google, Amazon, and Cloudflare.
If one if these players fail, like Cloudflare currently, a large part of the internet fails.
We should go back.

It’s #WorldMentalHealthDay,
and this week I gave my talk “What the Duck? The Hidden Crisis in Tech” at #DevoxxBE.
Not about only about burnout or stress,
but also that quiet pressure to look fine while you’re barely holding it together. 🦆
