In some instances it makes sense to replace older applications with APIs, but sometimes that is a problem. Jeff and Matt both talk about real-life situations they've been in and how they worked through it.

Working with Legacy

In this episode, Jeff and Matt talk about legacy code and strategies for dealing with legacy applications. They talk about some real-world projects they have worked on and how they dealt with some problems.

In this episode Jeff and Matt talk about our friends, allies, and sometimes sworn enemies in the development world: product managers and project managers. They will cover how to interact with these roles and even how to be a good manager.

Project Managers

In this episode Jeff and Matt talk about systems administration and DevOps for developers. This topic is important because, as developers, having an understanding of the full stack your application is deployed on can separate you as a senior developer. They talk about some times when having some insight into working with linux, managing and configuring webservers, databases, etc. has come in handy as well as reference some important things you should know as a developer to be able to help in an emergency or just to maintain your application’s health in production.

In this episode Jeff and Matt talk about a very important skill all developers need to learn: how to say no. Saying no is pretty easy but there are ways to appropriately convey the reason why doing what is being asked is not a good idea.

Resolution Won't Fix
