1. Three Behaviors That Will Make Me an Unstoppable Programmer

Use google very aggressively.

The behavior of using google aggresively resonates with me beacuse I have owned and operated businesses in the past. There were many aspects of starting those businesses that I didn't know, but I was able to find or figure out using google. I also like the idea of learning something new, so this is a way I can do it on my own. Also, when trying to further understand something this is a great addition to doing it.

Take Responsibility for My Mistakes.

I agree that when doing something new and something you are used to, mistakes happen. It's not the end of the world. If we use this as a learning opportunity in life and in business we can be a better person in the future. By owning your mistakes you have the opportunity to develop a plan to overcome them. This is essential to success.

Move Fast and Break Things.

Reflection about empathy.

Empathy

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

Practicing empathy has helped me in my relationship with my wife by understanding the position in which she is coming from. Using empathy when dealing with other people in all areas of life helps by humanizing the probem or issue I am dealing with. By using empathy when dealing with other people you create a connection with that person. Therefore, its easier to understand where that person is coming from.

How does empathy help you build better software?

Empathy helps one build better software by understanding what results or outcomes the client/user wants. If you are able to understand what the client wants, you can also understand what the client doesn't want. Therefore, you can create a better solution for them. You can also add value to this software that you are creating.
