About Software vs Real Life

Software vs Real Life is a conversation series about the gap between how software is supposed to work and what actually happens when it meets the real world.

We speak with product leaders about the unexpected behaviours, local realities and wonderfully unpredictable circumstances that challenge the assumptions behind the products we build — and what those moments can teach us about building better software.
