| ## Feelings Matter | ||

| So I've [written about this before](https://ashfurrow.com/blog/empathetic-civilization/), but I'll say it again: _feelings matter_. It might sound obvious to you, but it really does need to be repeated. Compassionate software can't be built without compassion for each other. |

Does it really sound obvious?

FWIW, you don't define compassionate software

| Next, all work your team performs should be primarily modelled as exercises in learning. Because that's what they are; when a team build something, you're all really just _learning how to build something_ as a team. The byproduct of this is the thing that happened to built. | ||

| The product a team builds is important to the business' success, so it may seem counterintuitive to place a higher priority on the learning experience of a team than on building the product itself. But remember: by doing this, you're helping to increase the performance of your team so in turn, they're able to build a better product, faster and with fewer bugs. The evidence shows it makes business sense. |

The "so in turn" feels like a separate thing. Maybe a -?
