Artsy Engineering Radio

Anna Carey joins Sarah Haq to discuss breaking into tech, the problem with the phrase "imposter syndrome," and why asking for help is the most important skill she's developed as an engineer.

In engineering we usually have roughly two career paths to choose from:  Individual Contributor and Engineering Manager. Kaja will talk to Steve about his career choices and why he decided to go deeper into hands on coding. 

Jackie Potts joins Steve Hicks to do a project retro. They discuss the chronology, the challenges, and the joys of a recent project integrating with a third-party shipping provider. They maybe make each other cry. 

Artsy hosted our 9th annual(ish) hackathon two weeks ago! Sarah, Pavlos, and Matt sit down to discuss how it went, what we learned, and some of the cool projects that people worked on.

On this Episode  Erik and Kaja talk about ethical questions in software engineering and how the tech world has a responsibility to build good and ethical software. They will cover some examples when things definitely crossed the line of being ethical and try to figure out how to be an ethical software engineer. Talks mentioned in that episode where "The Reasonable developer" by Joe Corcoran from the Isle of Ruby in 2018 and "So you can Sleep at Night: Ethics in IT"  Jonathan Rothwell & Steve Freeman at the GOTO Berlin 2017 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xI5qEJ39KMc).

Issra Hashim and Alican Akyuz are both "second career developers". One in training, one senior. They join host Pavlos Vinieratos to talk about their transition from careers unrelated to development and coding, to exactly that. Listen to their stories here.

Sarah Weir, Luis Gualberto, and Steve Hicks talk about better and more modern ways to think about people and teams. Rather than defining engineers as back-end or front-end, developer archetypes better capture the value an engineer brings to a team. And when scaling teams, Team Topologies provide a model to escape Conway's Law and build for user needs.

Erik, Pavlos, and Anna talk about tools for productivity such as our desktop setup and code editors, as well as tools and ideas for collaborating across different time zones.
