What Makes Coders !Happy?

As the community evolves into the third season of Canton Coders, we as a community are pursuing happiness for coders. Happiness varies from person to person, but to understand more, we polled our community in a lunch and learn and this is what we learned.

First, beyond health for family and friends, and life balance, coders value these things:

1. Economic Security
2. An external network of peers that is open
3. Adding value in my job with the things I’m good at
4. Skills and network to find a similar or better job
