You've watched some videos on YouTube, followed a few basic tutorials, completed a codelab or two, and you're thinking.... now what?  

In this week's episode, we're exploring that question.  

I'm going to share with you the best thing I think we can do when we're looking to improve upon a basic understanding of any new programming concept.  And, we'll chat through several important questions to ask yourself when building out your leaning plan.

In this week's episodes, we're exploring one of my favorite software development mantras "no broken windows". 

We're going to review the broken windows theory as presented in the book The Pragmatic Programmer and examine how that theory can be applied to our projects to to improve the quality of our software projects over time.

We'll look at what the theory is, and isn't, when applied to a software project and discuss a couple of low-cost ways for you to start applying this thinking to your own work.

In this week's episode, we're chatting about a topic near and dear to my heart; continuous integration, or CI, as it's more commonly referred to.

This is something that pretty much any modern professional dev team is going to use, and yet, it's something that many new devs have very little exposure to or understanding of.  Because of this, CI can seem very intimidating and is often silo'd off as something most people don't think about.

But hopefully in this episode, we can start to change that.  We're going explore the core goals and concepts of CI, introduce you to a few of industry leading CI tools, and finally, we'll chat about how you can start taking advantage of CI in your teams or personal projects.

 How are you feeling about working from home right now?

As I look around the internet, it appears to me that results are mixed.  Many are loving the new remote work lifestyle.  Many others are stressed, working more hours, and feeling pressure to maintain productivity while working from home.

I don’t believe either of these groups are right or wrong.  Everyone’s situation is unique.

One thing I do believe strongly though;

Working from home right now, during a global pandemic, is NOT the same thing as normal remote work.

I feel that this is getting lost in too many discussions lately.

This week, we're taking a look at how remote work in 2020 is NOT normal remote work. 

We'll explore a few of the unique challenges that 2020 has presented to remote employees and teams, and outline a few concrete steps you can take to better adapt to working remotely in 2020.

Hello World 👋

Welcome to the first episode of the goobar podast; where we talk about building great software and helping others do the same!

I am your host, Nate Ebel, and I'm very happy that you're tuning in to this first episode of a project I've wanted to start for quite some time now.

In this episode, I introduce the podcast, share the goals and inspiration behind it, and then give you a little background on myself and the experiences I'll be bringing into each episode.

What's this podcast about?
I feel I've been really fortunate to have great teams, and mentors throughout my career, and a big part of that mentorship has always been the short chats, and all the small interactions throughout our time working together.

And that's the idea I want to bring to this podcast; a feeling of connectedness and a sense that someone out there is in your corner if you're ever feeling stuck; which, let's face, we all feel at some time or another.

I want to imagine we're sitting down for a quick cup of coffee and just chatting about software development.

We might talk about fixing an interesting bug one day, how to become more involved in the developer community, or how to carve out the next step in your career journey.  We'll cover a lot ground as we explore the many different facets of a career in software development.

My hope, is that each week we can feel inspired to dream, learn, and create so we can spend our time in rewarding careers doing the work we enjoy, and helping others do the same.
