summary

Claims that empathy reduces churn (notably 60 percent of developers from underrepresented groups report leaving a job for its people), plus concrete practices: clearer names, descriptive commit messages instead of git commit -m, link-rich PRs and docs, use of whiteboard sessions, Slack previews and screenshots, personas (Jen/Tiffany/Tanya) to test readability, and coaching confidence levels in arguments. Examples show fewer bisect headaches, less exhausted triage, and more maintainable code and reviews.
