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 Thanks guys for all the podcasts I have learned so much! I used many of the things you talk about on your podcasts to finally getting a role as senior software eng at an great company surrounded super smart amazing people, couldn't be happier!

@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 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?
