Engineering is fundamentally a social activity. This might sound completely counter intuitive, but it's an important reality for understanding the nature of our work. In this episode, for those whom are in the industry already, I describe various tips for some challenging social situations we often experience, and for those who are not in our industry yet, I explain just how social this field actually is.
Hi, I'm James! I'm a software engineer who has been building software for over 25 years. I've worked on a lot of code, worked in a lot of systems, and worked with a lot of people in that time. I decided to make this podcast to share some of the things I've learned along the way.
If I have one, I'd say my superpower is being a highly extroverted storyteller. I love sharing stories, building empathy, and learning from other's experiences.
Join me every week as we explore the undertold social aspects of software engineering!
