    Episode 12 - Being a Software Engineer and first time Dad

    Episode 12 - Being a Software Engineer and first time Dad

    A lot changes when you first get the news that you will be becoming a Dad for the first time. A simple google search out there will bring up a lot of materials that favour women the most. There is very little for the men and so "We" just dive right in and focus on staying above water when the little angel arrives. 

    I have been thinking about this in the last few days and decided to make an episode discussing the topic. I obviously didn't say everything I thought either because I forgot but I try to distil the main things to be aware of. Hopefully, someone out there finds this useful and you brace yourself for the changes that will happen.

    I am excited about this episode of the podcast. Firstly, I get to have Miriam as my first female guest on the show and secondly, I get to speak with someone whose amazing work went viral on social media. It also happens we are colleagues at work. Her back story of how she got into her present roles is interesting, and I enjoyed learning more about Miriam.
