We get some updates from Safia and talk about our expectations for the book.

We talked with one of the authors of Apprenticeship Patterns about the process of writing the book, reading, learning, career paths, and changes he would make to the book.

We talked about drinking from the firehose, practicing the craft, building breakable toys, and reading (coding books, Descartes, and Beowulf).

We talk about mapping out our careers (or lack thereof), what titles mean at companies, craft vs art, being the worst, and getting mentors.

How do you set yourself up for success in your career as a software engineer? How do you learn? How do you go from junior to senior?

In this episode, we introduce the hosts, the podcast, and the first book we'll be reading, Apprenticeship Patterns.
