How does empathy help you build better software?

Empathy helps a person understand others by putting themselves in the place of others. If you feel, accurately, how others feel, you then are aware of things they want, need, like, or struggle with.

As I see it, this feels especially singular in a narrow, constrictive sense. Because of that, it doesn't feel completely accurate. Tests like this presumably have to make cuts somewhere, though. Ah
