The 1:1 is a podcast dedicated to tackling the current issues in software engineering through authentic and meaningful conversations. We delve into topics such as the hiring process, the true essence of a 1:1 meeting, showing up for teammates, the importance of focus time, and why certain methodologies, like Scrum, might hinder development. We emphasize the need for creating and maintaining focus time and address communication issues within and between teams. Our episodes often feature guests who share their firsthand experiences with mass layoffs, the struggles of the interview process, the crucial role of midlevel developers, and the emerging gap at the associate level. By combining these topics, we aim to build a community where engineers feel heard and supported. Each episode is designed to provide practical insights and foster a sense of belonging in the engineering community. The 1:1 podcast strives to highlight the importance of personal connections a
