Members of underrepresented communities, including but not limited to Black, Indigenous, Hispanic, Latino, Asian American, and Pacific Islander individuals

Women

4: Secondly, I will want to know what you can bring to the team outside of pure coding skills.

This is where you #CareerChangers will really stand out. What people don't think about as much as they should is the team aspect of coding. I wish more management would emphasize this in hiring.

Can you offer feedback (often in PRs) in a kind and effective manner?

In a few months I'll probably be bringing in more people. Can you help them acclimate? Can you teach them the code base?
