What's one sure-fire recipe for disaster when it comes to coaching? Not being coachable. This could come from a lack of self-awareness or not being willing to be coached -- but if you're not ready for it, it's going to feel like friction. In my conversation with Noah Cantor, we walked through the various considerations that come into play when it comes to getting coaching and mentorship. Noah's framing certainly helped me see how you can try to take all the right steps, but the order and reason behind the steps can REALLY make a difference.

This is a special interview for me -- and I'm really excited to be able to share it with you. I had the pleasure of sitting down with Dan Patrascu-Baba, also known as Codewrinkles, in this video chat. Especially if you're a DotNet developer, you probably know Dan! He's got a ton of amazing content that he puts out regularly, and I'm always very appreciative of how he shares perspective. When my channel had only a couple of hundred subscribers, Dan featured it in a video and it nearly doubled my subscribers over night. I was blown away! In the time since then, I've come to appreciate and learn a lot from what Dan shares online. So for me, this was such a rewarding experience.

| 08 Oct 2024 | From Astronaut Dreams To API Development - Interview With Sophia Willows | 01:04:03 | |
There are product teams, platform teams... But what about... Developing APIs for other developers to use? In this interview with Sophia Willows, we got to chat about how she's focused on that very thing! It turns out that when you're building a system when you own the calling and serving side of an API you can get away with a few more luxuries. However, when your customers are developers who spend time getting their own code to work with yours -- you better think twice before changing that API!

| 16 Aug 2024 | Be The Luck For Other Software Engineers - Interview With Scott Hanselman | 00:42:30 | |
Arguably the coolest thing I've been able to do in my content creation journey for software engineers to date: I got to sit down and chat with Scott Hanselman. I bet that the overwhelming majority of my audience knows Scott. It's almost impossible to be in this area of tech and not know him! If you've seen a 3d printer online you definitely know Scott. Scott is the VP of Developer Community of Microsoft -- but if you ask him, he's happy to simply say "I'm a teacher". For those of us who know him, we've all learned a great deal from him.

| 28 Jun 2024 | Software Engineers Need... BRANDING?! - Interview With Anna Miller | 00:55:41 | |
I bet you never thought as a software engineer you were going to hear that branding was important, right?! After all, isn't that what the marketing team is for? Isn't that kind of a "salesy" thing? And you're exactly right -- as a software engineer, your brand and the branding that you create can be immensely valuable for the relationships you form inside AND outside of work. In this video, I speak with Anna Miller and we get to hear all of her awesome perspectives on branding for software engineers. ---- You can get in touch with Anna: - For Software Engineers: https://Codecareermastery.com - For Early Career in Tech: https://www.Secondcareerscoaching.com - Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/annamiller ---- 🔑 Membership & Subscriptions: - 🏘️ Private Discord Community 🧠 Courses: - [FREE] Intro to Software Development 🗣️ Social Media & Links: - Blog | |||
| 06 Sep 2024 | Unleashing Engineering Teams With Recognition Culture - Interview With Dan Silivestru | 00:59:56 | |
It's the people that make the workplace a fun place to go to. These are words from Dan Silivestru in our interview that we did together -- and I couldn't agree more. Software engineers are incredible at solving complex problems and innovating in difficult domains. But at the end of the day, we're all still human. We all have things that motivate us. We can all get burnt out. We all want to feel valued for the work we do. Dan and his team at Chocolate Soup are on top of all of this by focusing on employee recognition packages. Dan knows first-hand how valuable it is to have a team that feels valued.

| 28 Jun 2024 | Should You Join A Coding Bootcamp? - Interview With Brooke Sweedar | 01:01:13 | |
My journey through software engineering was pretty traditional: go to college/university directly after high school to study... then go into the workforce. But it's important that we keep an open mind about the different paths that aspiring software engineers can take to get into the industry. In this video, I was joined by Brooke Sweedar who shared with me her journey through coding Bootcamp. It's great to hear about her successes going through such a program and understanding what made this such a valuable experience for her.

I was joined by Jade Wilson in this video interview! Jade is not only a senior software engineer at Microsoft, but a successful content creator. When we got to talking, it was really cool to hear that we have very different experiences with how our teams approach building software: - My teams go through a pseudo-agile / waterfall hybrid (i.e. we try to be agile but commitments are done on larger horizons) - Jade gets to work DIRECTLY with customers quite regularly A huge takeaway from Jade in this video was that it's *NOT* just about picking Scrum or Kanban... The entire point is to find things that work well for your team. Copy+pasting some process and blindly following it without adapting things is probably not going to be ideal.
