Episode notes

Erlic: I've been in enough meetings with developers to know that there are developers that some managers would straight up cringe if that developer was invited to a meeting, because we just knew that developer was going to say something demeaning to client. So i have some really quick notes here, and then we'll do a whole episode. Learn how to talk to clients. People want to be educated, but they don't need the knitty gritty. Ah, another one, present yourself. These things happen out of the meeting so wash up before you go into it.

In this episode of Syntax, Scott and Wes talk through what to focus on at a beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels of coding skills.
