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

Looking at the roles I have held in the past, I can see that empathy was especially vital as a teacher. On my first day teaching, I can remember specifically setting aside time to introduce myself as a person, and to get to know my students as people. I needed to understand them, and they needed to understand me, before they could learn math in my classroom. For a few years, I tutored in a program specifically designed around restorative practices for juveniles in probation. These young people did not lack intelligence, rather they often lacked someone who would listen to them. Much of my time in that program was spent listening and helping these young people feel like a part of a community. Currently, empathy is vital in my relationships with my wife and kids. The biggest struggle I face is that empathetic understanding does not happen by accident- it must be intentional.

How does empathy help you build better software?

What is your greatest strength and how do you know?

My greatest strength is the ability to approach problems and projects calmly with a reasonable, logical flow. I like to break down projects into their respective components, and then to start working through the components. Lists often help me to keep lots of information organized. In fact, my coworkers at my current job refer to me as the "spreadsheet guy." I also get satisfaction from evaluating any data gleaned from a project. When I worked as a math teacher, I collected and sorted much of the data to help our school make data-driven decisions. I do this for my fantasy football teams as well. :)

How do you work best?

This question is pretty broad, so here are some aspects of my own work preferences:

  1. I work best late at night but this doesn't fit with typical societal norms, so I accomplish most of my work in the mid-morni

What Is Git?

Git is a DVCS (Distributed Version Control System). A Version Control System (VCS) allows users to manage files associated with a project by tracking past and present iterations of the files. A VCS can oversee multiple collaborators editing files in an organized fashion. Git is a Distributed VCS because every editor in a project can have a full copy of the version history of the project locally.
