    How we relax after work and recharge our batteries

    Hello again! It's been a while since we released an episode. But, after a summer break, we are back on track with new ideas. Speaking of breaks, in this episode of Code && Beyond we talk about what we like to do after work to relax and recharge our batteries. What works for us and why. Listen to Pablo talk about mantrailing (training dogs to search for people) and why he likes tending to the trees in his garden more than growing tomatoes. Alex, on the other hand, shares why he loves writing software for fun, after writing software at work. Links: What is mantrailing? Fun with concrete. Just some ideas ;) --- Have any feedback?

    Going cloudless: Our thoughts on cloud-based software

    Cloud-based software has been a part of our lives for quite some time. So much so, that even some products that currently exist might not have been possible without it. Besides obvious things like apps on our laptops, smartphones and PCs, there are cloud-connected TVs, refrigerators, keyboards and many other gadgets. While cloud-based software definitely provides many great benefits to consumers and developers, it comes at a cost that goes beyond its price tag. For consumers, there are questions about privacy and personal information, freedom of choice, necessity to be always connected. For developers, it might mean increased complexity of the things they work on. In this episode of Code && Beyond, we aren't going to fanatically blame or defend cloud computing, but try to analyze what works and doesn't work for us personally, what alternatives we use and why. When would it make sense to go cloudless?

    How to onboard new software engineers?

    Working as a freelancer, consultant, full-time employee

    As software engineers, we aren't limited to just one type of employment. Some prefer to have more flexibility and jump from one project to another focusing on short-term tasks, others value stability and like staying with the company for a long time. We could work as freelancers, consultants, and, of course, full-time employees. What's interesting, though, is that all these different types of employment have a couple myths around them. In this episode of Code && Beyond, Pablo and Alex discuss some of the myths and are trying to prove or bust them using their personal experience. Have any feedback?

    Code && Chess

    A very special guest joins Alex and Pablo in this episode of Code && Beyond. José Doval (Pepe) could be best described as a chess player and teacher who writes code for a living, two passions that have a lot more in common than one would think.  Where do coding and chess intersect? From machines that play chess to how chess skills can be applied in software engineering, this is an eye-opening discussion that you won't want to miss.
