How to nurture the introverts in your engineering team

The importance of embracing everyone and their personality types
February 18, 2021

When I first thought about joining the technology world as a developer around eight years ago, I imagined a developer to be a person locked in their office turning coffee into code, totally on their own.

As an introvert,  this scenario seemed amazing to me.

It was, to my surprise, that I found a completely different scenario; not only at my first but also at most of my subsequent jobs. A huge open space with a lot of talking and noise, several meetings, and – to me – pointless interactions. At first, I tried to adapt. I participated in everything, played the game, and tried my best to fit into an environment that was very hostile to my own nature.
