Episode notes

High turnover hurts organizations by increasing the cost of onboarding new employees, resulting in loss of human capital and cohesiveness. It also affects credibility and may lead to frequent movements between companies, particularly for independent contractors.

Hello 2024! We’re kicking off the year with Dan Moore, author of ‘Letters to a New Developer’ — a blog series of letters of what Dan wished he had known when starting his developer career. We discuss the value of online communities for new developers, the importance of communication skills, and the need to stay relevant in a rapidly changing industry. Dan shares his best advice for new developers, including the importance of saying no, leaving code better than you found it, and the value of skill stacking. So much wisdom and advice in this episode!
