A lot of the times, we want to build something and the intent is, ‘This is how I would do it.’ But at the end of the day, that's rarely the case. It's important to just keep that in mind and sometimes you just exercise a little bit of empathy, put some empathy into your work. And that can go a long way into removing some biases that we all have.” – Alexis Morin-------------------Links:Visit Interaction 23Twitter - Follow AlexisTwitter - Follow CassidyTwitter - Follow ZachThe Dev Morning Show (At Night) YouTube Page
