You've got "software engineer" and "HR lady" mixed up.
Being able to code makes you qualified to be a software engineer; empathy is for all those other people whose brain doesn't have to remember what prvalues are and have enough room for social shit.
Just because MBAs drilled into everyone's heads that fewer people should be able to do more stuff to justify lower staff counts doesn't make it true.
