Guys, I have had a tough couple of weeks and frankly have not been able to nail down a single topic I've wanted to cover. For today's show I'm going to key off of that and talk about a few things:
"Resume driven development" is a humorous and often derisive term for a certain style of programming and programmer. It's a tempting trap to fall into, but in this episode I go into my experiences with these types of developers and their projects and why you should avoid the temptation of becoming one.
Junior developers. We've all been one, and some of us still are. In this episode, I talk about some of my experiences as and thoughts on junior developers, which ones make for good hires, and I also try to offer encouragement to any junior devs out there who feel down and out.
In many shops, you often have someone, typically a manager, who's in charge of what and programmers who are in charge of the how. Is this a natural division of the work we do? In this episode, I explore why I think the what and how aren't truly separable.
