Thanks for the talk. That's a great point that the skills I've developed while volunteering can be helpful in my dev career. I'm wondering if those volunteer experiences are worth including in my resume, and how to present it...
If you have enough space on your resume, I would say definitely include volunteering. A big part of engineering is being able to work collaboratively and good communication skills - skills you gain by volunteering.
Also, if your looking for senior positions, I believe adding that you volunteer as a mentor/teach others to code shows you possess those skills to help juniors (if the company has juniors)
