What is a "data model", and how does it relate to the DOM in a front-end application?

• The data model is what holds the state of our application. It is the single source of truth for an application. The DOM is the visual representation of our application. We use the data model to determine what is displayed on the DOM. If a user interacts with the DOM, there should likely be an update to the data model as a result of that interaction.

What role does empathy play in your life and how has it helped you?

Empathy is a key factor in my life. The ability to understand and share the feelings of other people enables me to have deeply connected relationships both with family members and friends. Empathy allows me to enjoy art, books and music. It prods me to be charitable both with time and money. My worldview is widened in part by empathy. All of these effects or results of empathy allow me to be a better human being.

How does empathy help you build better software?

I hope that empathy will allow me to practice principles of empathic design as a software developer. I hope to look at the project I am working on through multiple lenses. I also hope that empathy will allow me to revisit and revise projects that I thought were finished, especially if I receive feedback on how they can be more useful to a given population. I would hope, in that circumstance, to elevate empathy over ego.
