Are you passionate - pecha kucha

Embed Size (px)

DESCRIPTION

This is a Pecha Kucha I presented at XP 2013 (based on a lightning keynote I did at ACCU 2013). It may not make much sense without the words, but you'll get the general idea that I think 'passion' is an inappropriate word to describe a desirable characteristic of software developers.
