## Writing About People
We write the same way we build software: with a person-first perspective. Whether you’re writing for an internal or external audience, it is important to write for and about other people in a way that’s compassionate, inclusive, and respectful. Being aware of the impact of your language will help make Agaric a better place to work and a better steward of our values in the world. In this section we will lay out some guidelines for writing about people with compassion, and share some resources for further learning.

### Age
Don’t reference a person’s age unless it’s relevant to what you’re writing. If it is relevant, include the person’s specific age, offset by commas.
The CEO, 16, just got her driver’s license.
Don’t refer to people using age-related descriptors like “young,” “old,” or “elderly.”
