It feels like the empathy here is being forced into an engineering discipline and I don't understand why. It seems like the writer has an emotional response to aspects of code (no tests -> fear) whereas it can simply be phrased in terms of uncertainty.
On the other hand, I'm now tempted to write a similar post but with the focus being on pride rather than empathy.
Hi! Like I said in the post, I like to think of empathy as a way to frame our engineering practices—more of a "why" to fuel and inform how we do things.
While software disciplines can definitely exist without empathy but my goal with this post was to explore and examine how empathy could fuel and catalyze these engineering disciplines.

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
