3/2/17 Task C Turing Culture and Reflections on Empathy
Raw
turing-culture-1.md
  • What role does empathy play in your life and how has it helped you?
    -- Everything, really. Empathy allows me to have reasonable discussions with reasonable people about sometimes diversive topics. Empathy has expanded my horizons, helped me evolve morally and be a better husband.
  • How does empathy help you build better software?
    -- People use software. If you can't possibly even consider being on the other side (ie the user[s]), how can you expect to build something people would want to use or know how to use?
  • Why is empathy important for working on a team?
    -- Empathy is important for working in teams because teams are also made of people. And as much as STEM is touted to be meritocratic and logic-based, everyone who works in these fields is a person. People have biases, people have feelings. Empathy is essential in order to defuse situations before they become a thing.
