Dress Code: Designing Systems People Can Thrive In
đź•“ 9:30 am - 10:00 amđź“Ť River Room 1 (Lv 3)Rules shape everything - from how a web page renders to how a team works together. In this talk, Kate Kirwin literally wears her source code on stage, revealing how small rule changes can transform outcomes. Drawing parallels between the behaviour of our code and the culture of our industry, she explores how defaults, inheritance, and hidden rules affect who belongs, who thrives, and how to refactor for inclusion.

It’s such a privilege to be able to run this conference and DDD Perth would love to acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land in which DDD is created, presented, and shared, the Whadjuk people of the Noongar Nation and their connections to land, sea and community. We pay our respect to their Elders past, present and emerging, and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples today.
