Empathy has played a large part in my professional career and personal life. It has helped me with internal associate conflicts as well as conflicts that have involved myself directly. Building better software requires a team to intrepret, analyze, and communicate ideas effectively. If individuals are not able to contribute openly or receive contructive feedback, it will make the process of creating newer better softeware more difficult. When working on group projects I find that having a highly level of empathy among all the teammates allows for quick and easy collaboration of ideas. When roadblocks come across having multiple different approaches have always been more efficient than a single individual try to figure things out by themselves. Difficulty arises when there are non-empathetic people among your group who refuse to hear other people's thougts and ideas. Decreasing these occurrences begins with creating awareness among these individuals who may lack in empathy.
