Four Foot Tenderloins
I Don't Know What I'm Doing
Happy New Years to all! We open this episode talking about our Christmas List which would have been poignant if I had edited this in a reasonable amount of time. I would love to have a new years resolution which was germane to that point, but I absolutely do not. Listen in to hear about Pat's car's tail light, new rulings in the GDPR world, and whether free food is the greatest detriment to company culture.

Maybe Talking About Taking Ownership
I Don't Know What I'm Doing
Given the topic of this episode is on taking ownership - I will set an example by taking ownership of the incoherent and rambling nature of the dialog. We start off with Pat presenting a scathing assessment of the state of software delivery and end up with an exposition of our dearth of knowledge concerning cattle farming. In there somewhere a couple points get made, some pro-strats concerning success in taking ownership in all manner of delivery scenarios.

If you or your team feels disengaged, or if you just want to hear what a bunch of developers thing about engagement, give us a listen.

The Bench Doesn't Need to be That Warm
I Don't Know What I'm Doing
Pat, Nate, and Paul explore Bench Time and its proper application. If you're on the bench or might be going on the bench soon, this is mandatory listening. We arrive at a number of "problems" and a number of "solutions" but one tag line stands out - "Stay off the bench stay in the bullpen", which is representative of our assertion that you should turn your bench into your bullpen.
info_outlineWe fish around a bit for a topic but we finally get there in this episode about our experiences with and insights on working from home.
Once again I forget to introduce the show - so, Paul, Pat, and Nate, for those of you who have forgotten, and this time we try to make working from home better.
