Dave and Jamison answer these questions:

1. Do you have any recommendations for maintaining physical health in a software developer role? For example, strategies to maintain good posture, reduce eye strain, etc.
2. Is the practice of asking interviewing developers to regurgitate 20 year old algorithms on a whiteboard a recent trend or is this something new? Can you make sense of this madness?

This is a pretty good summary of some of the health effects of sitting.

Here is the tweet Jamison talked about.

Dave and Jamison answer these questions:

1. I’ve been pushed in to doing management tasks I really don’t enjoy. What do I do?
2. How do I handle a co-worker who I really struggle to get along with?

This week Jamison and Dave answer these questions:

1. We have a great intern, who is smart and has good ideas but is also very quiet.

   She’s got a great deal of potential, and I want to tell her that being more vocal and assertive can help her greatly, both in her career and in life.

   How can I give her this feedback, without it sounding like a criticism of her personality, or her introverted tendencies?”

2. Recently a team member was let go. I am the team lead so I played a role in their termination. While they weren’t a good fit for the team, I’d still like to be in touch and help them improve their skills. Should I steer clear of this? My gut says yes but my heart says no.
