How do you feel about the state of surveillance on our kids? Is it as bad in the UK as the US?

I love that a career was never his motivation, he just followed what he thought was fun!

Also really interesting to explore what might be a little burnout and how he's keeping his energy and motivation up!

[AheadInTech @AheadInTech]

Thanks @TroyCodes95 (#Software #Engineer at @OVOEnergy) for the great chat! Troy's one of those people with raw, exploding, natural talent, and this was a great opportunity to cover his journey in Tech and explore his motivations.

What a wonderfully rewarding career teaching is but I definitely don't have the patience for it! 😛 II have so much respect for people like Dan and am absolutely blown away by the really advanced topics kids are learning these days!

There might just be hope for the future yet!

I had a lot of fun with this one, Pete's a fantastic speaker and prolific content-creator, lots of good advice here.
We cover motivations, strategies, and fundamentals of sound investing and managing our money at the end of our careers!

Are you doing the right amount of testing? Is testing an afterthought or something you haven't nailed in your culture? Do you know where Software Engineering Quality is heading?

Hot on the heels of his promotion to Snr SDET at @getpostman I manage to nail down @neilstudd!

[AheadInTech @AheadInTech]

Please do leave me your thoughts on what we discussed this week!

[AheadInTech @AheadInTech]

Are managers becoming more multi-disciplinary, 'T-Shaped' Individuals through necessity in modern Agile environments? That's something my guest this week, David Grain from @EVRYTHNG said me to in conversation and spurred my interest on! Watch/Listen at https://t.co/yQrkuU9C1i

[AheadInTech @AheadInTech]

I'm a huge fan of Mr Grain's, as are most of the colleagues we've shared in the past He's a fun, exciting, brilliant manager that looks after his Engineers well and breeds loyalty.

Today we discuss what's happening with the acquisition, growth, retention, of great Tech teams.
