The Software Developer Community with Brian Vermeer Oct 13, 2021

Show notes

One of my favourite things as a software developer is interacting with the community. It's a community that's about learning, sharing, collaborating, and paying it forward. All you have to do to be part of it is to engage with other people.

Brian Vermeer is a person that has given back to the community so much so that he became Java champion.

How to become a great Tech Lead with Mahdi Fanidisfani Sep 29, 2021

Show notes

One of the key takeaways from this conversation is that we should favour progress over perfection. Especially as software developers, perfection is something that'll never come. Instead we should focus on progression and let the fear of the unknown drive us forward.

This is what drives Mahdi and how he got to his current position. He shares how he became tech lead, and what skills you should focus on to become one as well.

How to be a good leader in tech Robby Coelho Sep 15, 2021

Show notes

Robby shares how he used to clash with leadership when he was a software engineer. Which lead to a lot of frustration.

He didn't really understand why they clashed, but after freelancing for a while, he realised the answer lied in the lack of guidance and the quality of leadership he'd experienced. This realisation is what lead him to focus on his soft skills and go down the path of leadership.

His way of giving back is to share with us what he's learned on what makes a good leader.

Going the extra mile with Juan Manuel Perafan Sep 08, 2021

Show notes

Some people have trouble starting, but that’s not Juan. Instead, he looks further ahead at his goal to become great at what he does. Currently that’s analytics engineering, which fills the gap between data engineers and domain analysts in the data world! During our conversation, I was truly impressed by his work ethic. I think it's pretty inspring. Enjoy!

What it takes to be great at Sales with Richard Kelsey Sep 01, 2021

Show notes

I was sceptical about Sales at first, but I love the way Richard lays it out:

You’re facilitating the buying process, and it should lead to a win-win.

It’s not a transaction. It’s knowing your product/service, and more importantly getting to know your customer, what their problems are and what they actually need.

In this, it’s very similar to what a software engineer should know, as well about what they’re building and for whom they’re building it.
I’m curious if you’ll see it that way as well.

The next big disruption in tech and software with Kevlin Henney Aug 25, 2021

Show notes

Kevlin Henney shares his vision on the next big disruption in tech and software. And the funny thing is, the next big thing might already be out there, it’s just unevenly distributed.

The importance of communication and teamwork at global scale with Rein Droog Aug 18, 2021

Show notes

What really brought Rein Droog and Bugaboo together is Culture. Having that connection, the same principles and shared understanding is the foundation of their success.

That doesn’t mean smooth sailing though… Being globally responsible has its own unique set of challenges. The key to overcoming those lies in communication and teamwork.
