To listen to more episodes or subscribe to Compiler, click here.Technology can be bold. But it can also be complicated. Compiler breaks down the big questions about tech and the tech industry in this new original podcast.On today's bonus episode, I share with you a brand new podcast called 'Compiler', an original podcast from Red Hat.Becoming a manager can be a triumphant milestone of working life. It’s often a recognition of leadership and, in the tech industry, technical skill. Many argue those skills necessarily become casualties to the management track. But it’s hard to let go of your creative side to make room for managing others. Can they do both? Should managers code? It’s an old question that never seems to receive a clear answer.From the Red Hat offices to the moons of Jupiter, Compiler explores why it’s such a complex issue. We spoke with Red Hatters who are vocal about what role, if any, managers have in the code base—and why they fight to keep their hands on keys for as long as they can.Featured guestsChris BredesenLaurie KrebsMark LittleBob McWhirterShoshana CollinsSupport our sponsors so we can keep airing new episodes: Compiler - Demystifying tech, one question at a time.
