We hear a lot these days about developer success, productivity, and happiness, but what about developer anxiety? Dr. Carol Lee stops by to talk about her research as Principal Scientist at Pluralsight's Developer Success Lab, and how her training as a clinical psychologist comes into play. Kate and Kelly also learn how Carol created an Institutional Review Board (IRB) at Pluralsight to clarify processes around the creation and maintenance of ethical standards and to enable scientific rigor. Also of interest: a research project on code review anxiety, and the creative process behind Carol's webcomic, Thriving Blobs.
