Collaborating with Empathy with Liz Acosta

The power of software is enormous, but the code can only be as good as the humans who write it. Despite popular belief, "being good" has nothing to do with character predisposition. It is a product of an intentional effort to nurture care and compassion.  Today we talk with Liz Acosta, a software engineer and a developer advocate at Stacklet. Liz's past professions as a copywriter, social media manager, and odd job freelancer give her a unique perspective on software development and enables her to help teams collaborate with empathy.  When you finish listening to the episode, connect with Liz on LinkedIn or find her on Stacklet.  Mentioned in this episode: Liz on  LinedIn at https://www.linkedin.com/in/lizacostalinkedin/  Liz on Stacklet at https://stacklet.io/blog/author/liz-acosta  Exercism at https://exercism.org  Empathy in Tech at https://empathyintech.com
