If you're bothered by the problems in the tech industry, I am too. But while every day we seem to hear more and more negative news about it we're actually paying attention to the wrong problems.

There are many things wrong with the software industry, but very few we can control. And one thing we can control, is how much we understand each other.

Programmers complain that managers set unrealistic deadlines. Managers complain that programmers are lazy. And these are just two examples of the many different tech job roles where misunderstanding each other causes us to feel frustrated and hopeless.

In this episode, I'm sharing my vision for how we can help each other get out of complaining about the tech industry and DO something about it. While none of us is empowered to fix every problem out there, we can at least fix what's right in front of us.

This episode marks a new chapter for the channel. I'm renaming it to Thriving Technologist! Thriving because we don't just need to be healthy in tech we need to thrive and succeed. Technologist because we need to help not just software developers thrive, but everyone in the tech industry.

Only when we have empathy for each other and stop seeing each other as enemies, can we stop the anger and begin building a better tech industry for us all to work in. So this is an official welcome to all the people who are not programmers over the years to join us in the effort to create a healthier, more sustainable workplace in tech for us all.
