When you're working solo, itβs easy to miss out on learning opportunities, fall into unhelpful habits, or lose momentum altogether. But when you start coding alongside others, everything shifts. We talk about how code reviews gave us instant feedback, how collaborating with other devs helped us level up faster, and how the simple act of being part of a team made coding more enjoyable β and a lot less lonely. Whether you're freelancing, working remotely, or just feeling a bit disconnected, we share some practical ways to break out of that bubble.

Julian is joined by one of his closest friends and former AWS colleagues, Huy Nguyen, to talk about something we often overlook in our careers and lives β the power of genuine human connection. In 2024, Huy made an unusual choice. He chose to get off the hamster wheel and take a career break to focus the entire year on being present with friends and community. From a Big Fat Greek wedding in Greece to conversations on balconies in Vietnam, his travels werenβt about sightseeing. They were about belonging. Together, Huy and Julian unpack what it takes to build a strong community over time. Huy shares two timeless principles that guide his approach: show up and be curious. You donβt need any plan or intention beyond these two things. Making time and being interested is enough. Messy is still effective if you show up with curiosity.

Drawing from both her personal journey and client experiences, Andrea shares why so many successful people still feel unfulfilled despite achieving traditional markers of career success. We explore the fascinating psychology behind career transitions, including the paralyzing effect of the sunk cost fallacy ("I've already invested so much in this path"), fear of judgment from peers and family, and the limiting belief that there's only one "right" way to progress professionally. Andrea shares actionable frameworks to help evaluate whether a career change is right for you. ___ Andrea Gosselink LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrea-gosselink-cpc-8919027 Website: https://careerlinkcoach.com/ ____ π‘π§βπ»Level up your Python skills in just 6 weeks with our hands-on, mentor-led cohort program.

Rye Whalen sees profound connections between nature and software development that many developers miss. With expertise in hardware, software, and teaching cybersecurity, they uncover how natural systems can inspire better software-building strategies. Rye explains how they approach algorithmic thinking by focusing on foundational base cases and how they encourage their students to visualise problems before writing code. This teaching strategy bridges abstract concepts with practical understanding by tapping into natural visual processing abilities and familiar patterns from the world around us. Beyond technical skills, Rye emphasises the value of creativity and balance. They explain how engaging in activities like photography and music can nurture problem-solving skills and significantly enhance our ability as developers. ___ Contact Rye on our Circle Community: https://pybites.circle.so/u/5eb35e0b Rye Whalen - https://wentcloud.com/ ___ If you found this podcast helpful, please consider following us!
