Brenda Romero knows a thing or two about how to lead a development team. The celebrated developer got her start in the industry at 15 years old, and now she’s the CEO and cofounder of Empire of Sin studio Romero Games. And one of the most rewarding parts about her job is the people she works with.

“A downside to [the COVID-19 pandemic] is that our team had to go virtual, and I really miss the people that I work with,” Romero said. “I really miss hanging out with them. I miss the morning coffee that I would have with coders.”
