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.
