Converge

### **About the talk**

More often than not, front-end developers focus purely on improving their technical skills.

This session will demonstrate a better approach, showing how developers can produce simpler, more resilient codebases by enhancing their planning and core skills—particularly by improving how they provide and receive feedback from their designer colleagues.
