Kim Martin talks about the emotional aspects of tech and being a software developer, how being a good decision maker is half the battle of a good leader and why she's always hiring.

Notable Quotes

• "Computer scientists are creatives and everybody wants to be expressive."
• "Figure out what you're good at and then double down on that because there's always going to be an opportunity for whatever it is that you're doing."
