Philosophy, Engineering Advocacy, and a Good Life with Vitaly Sharovatov

In this week’s episode of the Agile On The Mind Podcast I talk to Vitaly Sharovatov, developer advocate and mentor at Qase. Vitaly and I explore philosophy, religion, approaches to management and - of course - cognitive science.

Vitaly can be found on LinkedIn at https://www.linkedin.com/in/vsharovatov/ where he writes about pedagogy, software, science, philosophy and management.

If you liked this you might well enjoy my substack where you can get a weekly email with my thoughts and conversations about how to build intelligent teams by combining the worlds of agility and cognitive science.

This is my first foray into an interview format, I’d love to hear what you think about it or take ideas for future topics or guests. Please get in touch on daniel@embodiedagility.co.uk
