Episode 406: Acquired taste and limited mentorship

In this episode, Dave and Jamison answer these questions: 1. Listener Brad asks, I am currently a Senior Engineer with a small software company. I have been developing software for more than 20 years. We were recently acquired by another mid sized company. Since the acquisition, things have been going downhill. It feels like they’re trying to nickel and dime their employees to death. They moved from a bi-monthly to bi- weekly pay, from accrued PTO to Flex PTO, they sat on merit raises for ove...

Episode 403: Massaging the software and career never-never-land

In this episode, Dave and Jamison answer these questions: 1. I’m a bootcamp graduate working on a career shift from massage to software development. How much of my previous career should I bring into my résumé?

It’s something like three skill tests and one for roughly 800 applications at...

Episode 402: It's all on fire and title inflation

In this episode, Dave and Jamison answer these questions: 1. Happy Birthday Dave and congrats on the 400 episode milestone! Last year I was recruited away from my cushy Sr Dev role at Chill MegaCorp to an exciting technical leadership role at Fast-Paced MegaCorp. It felt like a huge level up since I had always wanted to pick up some of the softer communication and leadership skills to add to my arsenal while still working on technical problems. The 30% pay raise sealed the deal. Fast-foreward ...

Episode 398: Tech lead for contractors and how to detach my ego from my work

In this episode, Dave and Jamison answer these questions: 1. How do you mentor a junior-level contractor? My company has been hiring a lot of contractors lately. Sometimes they hire out a full team form the contracting shop to build a particular feature. Other times, it’s an individual developer, but with the same general mandate: implement some specific set of features from our backlog over x number of months, then move on to the next project somewhere else. Generally this happens when we hav...

Listener Davide says, I have a lot of ideas for significantly improving manufacturing processes, but management wants us to focus on business “priorities”.

Makes getting Master’s degree feel like time very well spent. I end up setting aside some time and doing the legwork for my improvements in s...
