April Wensel, founder of Compassionate Coding, is a veteran software engineer and technical leader whose varied career spans such fields as education, research, healthcare, and entertainment. She has also mentored and led workshops with diversity-focused organizations like Hackbright Academy and Black Girls Code.
In this episode, April talks about her past as a jerk programmer, how she came to recognize that her behavior was problematic, and why she started Compassionate Coding to help teams deliver better products more effectively.
We were inspired to invite April on the podcast after reading her fantastic article Confessions of a Recovering Jerk Programmer.
