# Soft Skills Engineering

> It takes more than great code to be a great engineer. Soft Skills Engineering is a weekly advice podcast for software developers about the non-technical stuff that goes into being a great software developer. Hosts Dave Smith and Jamison Dance answer listener questions about pay raises, promotions, hiring and firing, technical leadership, management, quitting, code review etiquette, coworkers, and career growth.

Hosted by Dave Smith and Jamison Dance. Published weekly since March 2016.
Every episode page contains the full text of the listener questions answered in that episode.
