In episode 4, Jamison and Dave answer this question:
I have heard a lot about “marketing myself” and my “personal brand”. For example, some people say I should be writing a blog post every week or creating lots of YouTube content. They talk about being a “thought leader”. I love building stuff as an engineer, and obviously I want to have a great job, so how important is this stuff?
In episode 3, Jamison and Dave answer two questions:
What should I look for in a dev team?
I don’t get enough done at work. I work on a small team that has aggressive plans for developing its product, but I don’t feel like I get enough work done or move fast enough for the company.
In episode 2, Jamison and Dave answer two questions:
I work on a team, and I am not the team lead. I have lots of ideas for how to do things better. How can I influence my team without being the team lead, or without stepping on his or her shoes?
How do you deal with anger at work, both on the receiving and giving end?

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!
