What Do Managers Do?
Whew! It's been a minute since our last episode. Business has been... busy... But in our first episode of season two, we're tackling whether managers are the right kind of busy. In response to a listener's question, we'll be discussing what many managers do all day--and what they should be doing...

Not My Job
In our inaugural podcast, we tackle the question of career growth in a "flat" organization. Join us as we discuss how structured roles and responsibilities are not anathema to a democratic engineering culture. While this may be our first foray into podcasting (and therefore a rough MVP), it...
