Developing software can be total chaos! Dan and Demián, with 35+ years of combined experience, share their journey from junior developers to principals. This isn't just tech talk — it's about people and fighting entropy. Think digital-age group therapy (minus actual therapists). We tackle stress, burnout, and growth pains through war stories, advice, and guest perspectives. Join our virtual seesaw as we navigate the world of software! New episodes monthly(ish).
About Dan
I spent about 15 years working my way up to a Principal Engineer at Amazon and AWS. In 2022, I decided to quit my
full-time job without another one lined up. What began as a sabbatical (and a transition to a stay-at-home dad)
has turned into a mix of freelancing, interview and career coaching, podcasting, and more.
I'm so excited to be working on this podcast with Demián! I hope you find it inspirational, or at least educational. 😄
About Demián
I spent 8 years at Amazon and AWS as a Principal Engineer, capping off over 20 years in the tech industry. In 2023, I transitioned to consulting, mentoring, and career coaching. I'm passionate about simplicity in engineering and maintaining a high bar for software craftsmanship. My love for teaching stems from my 5-year experience as a Computer Science professor in Venezuela. I'm excited to help others navigate their tech careers and share my experiences through mentoring sessions.
I'm thrilled to be working on this podcast with Dan, where we hope to inspire our listeners and share valuable insights about the tech world.
We'd love to hear from you!
