How the tech industry can be more compassionate with April Wensel

On this episode Abadesi talks to April Wensel, founder of Compassionate Coding, and one of Aba’s favorite follows on Twitter. She’s a veteran software engineer who has worked in healthcare, entertainment, research and education.

In this episode they discuss...

* How to make your interviews more inclusive.

* Why we need to change the way we think about the tech industry.

* Why telling someone you’re non-technical is nonsensical, and why she says, "if you can use a fork, you’re technical."

* How you can do your part to cultivate a positive culture at your company.
