Find the North Star

from Still Burning Hosted by Kent Beck

Amelia Wattenberger didn’t want to be a developer — both her parents were, and from the outside it looked boring. Then she accidentally built a website, and everything changed. In this conversation, she and Kent talk about why play matters more right now than productivity, what we actually lose when every project has a KPI attached, and why the most important skill in augmented development might just be knowing when to step back. This season of Still Burning is brought to you in partnership with WorkOS and Augment Code.
