I love @SoftSkillsEng .. although it's not directly focused on technical side of Software Engineering, it takes a huge often not-discussed part of the job such as the team communication, management, ethics, etc...

The hosts are really good, I literally listen to every episode ❤️
@WanderingHogan I’ve been looking for new podcasts and added @SoftSkillsEng when you mentioned it. Just listened to EP 149 and totally relevant to me as a 40-year-old dev. Thanks for sharing! Also, nice to hear your name in the shoutouts!
