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!
The (aptly titled) @SoftSkillsEng is great. @djsmith42 and @jamison_dance are hilarious. I often go back and visit the back catalog for inspiration.

@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!

In episode 11, Jamison and Dave answer these questions:
I’m looking for a new job. How do I negotiate to get a better offer?
How do you deal constructively with a boss who is well-intentioned, reasonably nice and intelligent, but incompetent, oblivious, and who has minimal to no oversight on their work performance?
In episode 10, Jamison and Dave answer these questions:
How about an episode about mentoring? Why is it important, how do we do it, and how do we find the right mentor for us?
How do stock options work? How can I tell whether an offer with stock options is any good?
In episode 9, Jamison, Dave, and special guest Layne Mosely answer these questions:
As a software developer, is it better to put an aggressive deadline on myself? Or should I let it be open ended? What are the effects of these two approaches on me and my team?
What do all these titles mean? Technical lead. Senior software engineer. Director of engineering. VP of engineering. CTO.
