Friday Afternoon Deploy: A Developer Podcast Lofty Labs Episodes and show notes available at friday.hirelofty.com. An unapologetic show about the culture and chaos of software engineering from the makers and breakers of digital products at Lofty Labs. We build software with Python and Django, Ruby and Rails, Golang, whatever frontend framework we're forced to use because it's popular this month, and anything else to get the job done right. Then on Friday afternoons we have a beer and talk about our regrets on this show. Explicit I Love My Baby, And... Erin Schlozman and Ruby Falk Motherhood is awesome. But not always. Holding space for the best parts of motherhood seems impossible when the challenging parts feel really heavy – and vice versa! Erin, licensed therapist, and Ruby, licensed therapist candidate, hold nothing back when talking about the dual realities associated with this chaotic, wonderful, hard, hilarious, sad, and undeniably happy part of life. This podcast is a place for community. Submit your thoughts, feelings, or wonderings to our voicemail box or email, and let’s talk about it! We can't wait to hear from you. Explicit
