What is Empathy?
What is Empathy? The ability to understand and share the
feelings of another.
What is Empathy? Seeing the world through the eyes of
someone else.
Breakdown • Context • Constructive Feedback • Communication • Caring
Context
The internal and external factors that influence the decisions we
make and actions we take.
How It Relates • No One is Un-Opinionated • We
All Have Biases • Listening is Key • “Why?”
None
Set The Example
Descriptive Descriptions • screenshots, animated GIFs, or screencasts • the
behavior and visuals you expected • related issues that would be closed • any context/reasoning behind why a change should be made • notes or concerns while in progress
Constructive Feedback
The return of information that helps to develop or improve.
How It Relates “If you don’t have anything nice to
say, then don’t say anything at all.”
None

Say It • Where We Say It

“You” Statements For Getting Context For Giving Constructive Feedback
None
How We Communicate • General = Slack • Standups =
Hangouts / In-Person • Recorded Discussions = GitHub Issues • Long-Form / Async = Email

Caring
To provide the needs of something and show interest in
it.
How It Relates • Caring is Sharing • And Listening
• And Understanding
How Much Do You Care?
Do You Care Enough… • To Write A Blog Post?
• To File An Issue? • To Send An Email? • To Record A Screencast? • To Submit A Pull Request?
– Yoda “Don’t give in to hate. It leads to
the Dark Side.”
Example Documentation
Documentation Matters • Wikis • Code Comments • Styleguides •
Pattern Libraries • README.md

By starting to apply empathy to connect with others professionally,
we can continue down that path to connect with others personally.
