What the Duck?🦆 The Hidden Crisis in Tech
We smile in meetings 😊, ship features 🚀, post wins ✨.
But under the surface? Most of us are paddling like hell 🫠.
This talk unpacks the Duck Syndrome in tech 🧠. Calm on the outside, burnout underneath 🔥.
It’s not about code. It’s about the silence we keep, the pressure to look perfect, and why so many of us are barely holding it together.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re the only one struggling, you’re not.
Come for the honesty 🤍. Stay for the relief of not pretending.
