No Manifestos: Recent Episodes
Stuart Sierra
No Manifestos is about people and technology: from those working in the industry to those living with its effects. I want to have real, honest conversations that go deeper than social media quips or blog rants. Interviews will cover anything from personal history to esoteric technical topics. The goal is to feature an eclectic mix of voices and stories, in the hopes that we can add a bit of clarity to some of the thorny issues facing the industry.
Mike Roberts joins me to talk about the challenges of moderating a mailing list for people in the software industry.
Guests Katherine McDowell-Dugan and Stacee Mandeville talk about their experience coaching people to communicate better in business.
