    Season 2 wrap-up, going on hiatus!

    Hello dear audience!  In the wrap-up to a shorter season 2 we explain what's been going on and why we haven't been able to meet up and record as frequently.  We're going on hiatus for a while and hope to be back later in the year!

    Thinking about quitting Tech?

    Ever had one of those days, weeks or years? Have you thought, even briefly, about giving up the tech life and pursuing another career dream? Spurred on by a recent Reddit discussion, Sanj, Gwen and Neil look into the reasons why people might occasionally be tempted, and share their own half-baked alternate career plans. Learn which of your hosts was once a trainee electrician, who'd love to be a mile-high dentist, who took a crash-course in pub ownership, and who just wants to be paid to be on the beach. In the stand-up, everyone's still hiring, everyone's waiting for shiny new toys to arrive, and two of our crew go cold turkey on caffeine (one more deliberately than the other).  TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 Start 01:06 The Stand-Up 08:58 This Week's Epic 24:45 The Wash-Up LINKS DISCUSSED THIS WEEK: Kia EV6 Sticker Mule Reddit: Anyone else feel the constant urge to leave the field and become a plumber/electrician/brickie?

    Not Asking For Pay Rises?

    With inflation skyrocketing and energy bills about to go through the roof, the governer of the Bank of England has this week warned against workers asking for substantial pay rises, asking everybody to deal with the "pain" of the rising cost-of-living, whilst simultaneously taking home over £500,000 a year. We get deep into when and how we should ask for a pay rise, whether cost-of-living increases should be a given, how companies can better support employees during tough financial times, and Sanj declares some strong feelings which may lead to our Patreon earnings being diverted into legal fees. In the wonderful world of our stand-up section, we've got busy hiring times, scary talks, Xbox dev kits and EV research. Plus, the world's shortest news quiz!  TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 Start 01:16 The Stand-Up 08:20 This Week's Epic 23:26 The Wash-Up LINKS DISCUSSED THIS WEEK: Lara Hogan - Resilient Management Humans Plus Tech podcast Ecologi TechTree YouTube: Uncharted movie trailer BBC News: Charles met Queen two days before testing positive BBC News: Don't ask for a big pay rise, warns Bank of England boss Money Saving Expert: What is the Energy Price Cap?

    Handling Incidents and Outages

    What do we tell people when things go wrong in our organisations? This week, there have been a couple of write-ups of recent high-profile outages at Roblox and Mozilla, which - when paired with the well-documented outage at Facebook that we discussed last season - gives us a fascinating glimpse into other companies' incident processes, on-call rotas and war rooms. Sanj, Gwen and Neil share their surprising love of being knee-deep in an incident, bringing some of their own recent experiences to the podcast. In our workplace updates, there's lots of hiring, lots of shipping new features, everybody tries to coax Sanj into management, and Neil totally isn't doing any money laundering. TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 Start 01:28 The Stand-Up 06:48 Social Engineering 08:25 This Week's Epic 25:44 The Wash-Up LINKS DISCUSSED THIS WEEK:  Elucidat careers page YouTube: Ozark Season 1 Trailer LeadDev Glean careers page Greg McKeown - Effortless Facebook Engineering: Update about the October 4th outage Roblox Return to Service 10/28-10/31 2021 Mozilla Hacks: Retrospective and Technical Details on the recent Firefox Outage Vox: Pokémon Go launched in 26 countries, and then its servers crashed Down Detector Down For Everyone Or Just Me

  5. Building Behaviours Over Setting Goals

    Building Behaviours Over Setting Goals

    It's that time of year where everybody's talking about goal-setting, but are goals the correct form of measurement? This week, the TTW crew are talking about goals and habits, and their experiences with how effective they are at modifying behaviours. Naturally, this leads to a number of conversational rabbit-holes (even in our new shortened format), so expect to hear tales of driving lessons, toothbrush etiquette and Ted Lasso. Plus we give our weekly workplace updates, which includes conference chat, one of the biggest first-world problems ever, and praise for one of Neil's favourite TV shows. TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 Start 01:23 The Stand-Up 06:57 This Week's Epic 23:33 The Wash-Up LINKS DISCUSSED THIS WEEK:  The Independent: Storm Malik: Met Office issues severe weather warning for Scotland and northern England Agile on the Beach LeadDev Together YouTube: Parasite Trailer YouTube: Mr Robot Season 1 Trailer IGN: Steam Deck Gets an Official Release Date, First Units to Ship in February Sticker Mule FS Blog: Habits vs Goals YouTube: Conquer Driving: Why smart goals don't work on driving lessons GoodToKnow: Can you exercise with Covid?

    When Open Source Goes Wrong

    We're back for our second season! We're starting off with a dicussion about how we use open source software in our workplaces, after a couple of  major recent scares and outages. How do you keep track of what you're incorporating into your software, and how can we make sure that authors are rewarded for their efforts? Plus, we update you on everything that's happened over our Christmas break: find out who caught COVID, who completed Red Dead Redemption 2, who's been won over by Microsoft Teams, and who's been donating to Wikipedia.

    Ep 15 - Series Finale: The Retro!

    It's the end of our first season, so Gwen, Sanj and Neil are having a podcast retrospective. We chat about what's worked (and what hasn't), sharing some behind-the-scenes nuggets along the way, and propose some subtle but potentially exciting changes for season two, with Gwen deciding that we need a higher "threat level". There's all of the usual stand-up discussions, this week featuring musicals, overpriced energy drinks, and rowdy pensioners. Plus, as 'tis the season, there's a six-way exchange of Secret Santa gifts which is sure to make this the best episode so far for ASMR fans. We'll be back for season two on 24th January 2022! We wish you all the best for a peaceful festive season and new year, and we'll see you all again in the year which is sure to go down in history as "not as bad as the previous two".

    Ep 14 - The Long Stand Up!

    As promised, this week we're showcasing all of the parts of our working lives that we normally have to rush through. It's the first (and probably not the last) Stand-Up Special! Gwen shares some exciting professional developments and hopes for 2022, while recovering from a sourdough-inflicted ailment. Sanj (or Super-Sanj as he is now known after his boosters) finally spends some time in the testing and documentation camp. And Neil finally shares his big news, though gets significantly distracted by ranting about his Pixel 6 annoyances. Plus, all three hosts reach quick agreement on their least favourite household appliance. Next week is our final episode of the year, where we'll be running a Season 1 retrospective: what's gone well, and what we might change for Season 2. We'd love to include your thoughts, so please get in touch via any of the usual channels!
