    In this episode, Jason Fried (Founder of 37signals, makers of Basecamp and HEY) discusses the concept of the "trust battery," a metaphor for the level of trust between individuals in a company. Together with Andreas, they delve into the idea of "rehiring," where managers should ask themselves if they would hire a person again after a year or not. Jason also shares insights into Basecamp's hiring process, emphasizing the importance of enthusiasm and fit rather than just skills. They also talk about the company's history, products, the rare instances of rehiring former employees, the importance of mentoring, and the philosophy of "hiring slow, firing fast." This episode of Pulse is all about the relationship between employees and the company, aiming for a sense of enthusiasm and growth potential. Hope you'll enjoy it!

  6. On technical debt with Jonas Drieghe

    On technical debt with Jonas Drieghe

    In this new Pulse podcast, Andreas Creten talks to his colleague Jonas Drieghe of madewithlove, a senior developer that excels in working in legacy code. They discuss the topic of technical debt in this episode. Technical debt refers to suboptimal decisions made under the pressure of time, lack of knowledge, or skills, resulting in the difference between what was created and what could have been created in ideal circumstances. Technical debt is categorized as managed or unmanaged, with the former being covered by tests and allowing for controlled changes. The latter is often invisible and can be like a black hole. Managing technical debt properly is crucial because it can lead to more significant problems, such as the team leaving, creating a cascading problem that becomes a nightmare for a company. While engineers are closest to the issue, everyone is responsible for solving it. However, management teams often prioritize new features over technical debt, so allocating a percentage of time for engineers to work on technical debt can prevent it from becoming a significant obstacle to product development. It's important to differentiate between legacy code and technical debt, as not all legacy code needs to be fixed, but technical debt can hold back progress. The key is to focus on cleaning up the areas blocking progress while introducing new features. Check out our other podcast episodes.
