This podcast is funny and entertaining and a great source for learning about the non-technical things of being a Software Developer.
I really recommend it to all fellow engineers!

@SoftSkillsEng podcast is a must-listen! It's certainly targeted towards software engineering, but the advice is pretty widely applicable, especially new/aspiring managers. All those #100devs folks ought to check it out!

Big love for this podcast https://t.co/UZAZszoZD4 by @SoftSkillsEng - esp for career-changers into tech. Plus, it usually makes me laugh out loud in public places, which is always a good thing 😅

I was never one to listen to podcasts, yet here I am binging @SoftSkillsEng at 1am. Good stuff 🎧😌

Up to episode 26 of the @SoftSkillsEng podcast after discovering it a few days ago. These guys are really funny the lessons are very relevant to software development. 10% down should be caught up in a couple weeks. I wonder how their REACT thing turns out? Probably goes nowhere.

If you work in tech and feel you're a bit lacking in soft skills, check this podcast out.

I'm personally a nerd and I didn't know how to "get along" with most people when I started working. It helps to know how to communicate and co-exist. @SoftSkillsEng https://t.co/BMpvLRoTnX

In episode 24, Jamison and Dave answer this question:
As a software developer, should I be a generalist or a specialist? This was inspired by a Twitter conversation here: https://twitter.com/iam_preethi/status/766758679743954944
In episode 23, Jamison and Dave answer these questions:
You are asked to be a CTO of a start-up. What questions would you ask in order to decide whether to join, and what things would you give most attention to, if you do join?
I REALLY want and deserve a raise so I hope you two discuss how a nerdy introvert gets the CFO of a small privately owned business to want to give her more money when she’s already happily donating an additional 10-20 hours a week.
In episode 21, Jamison and Dave answer these questions:
What’s up with all this health insurance jargon?
How do I get started contributing to open source?
