Programming and Empathy

Programming and empathy are two words that don’t collide in the same sentence very often but they should. The art of professional programming is making software that will be used by others. By examining a basic requirements document, this talk will examine how the human construct of empathy is a must-have skill for any programmer and required for any successful project. This talk is an expansion of the article https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/programming-empathy-don-e-merson/. (Apologies. The room camera was not functioning, and there is no recording of this session.)
