Fredrik chats to Shawn Wildermuth about evolving in the world of software development, small changes adding up, developer hiring, not chasing the new thing, and quite a bit more.

Fredrik is still hoping for the last episode of Shawn's old podcast.

Making sure you use your time in a way that's right for you. Whether it's spending lots of time learning new stuff or getting deep into the tech you really enjoy.

Recorded during Øredev 2025.
