In the fourth episode of metaphor loop, I’m joined by Meredith
Edwards, software engineer at Stride. We talked, as usual, about
teaching and learning. We also dug into how work environments can foster a
culture of learning and how tech hiring processes can find candidates who value
things like other people’s opinions and communication skills.
Two behind the scenes notes about this episode:
We recorded this on one microphone, and so you’ll hear us handing the mic
back and forth, when I haven’t been able to cleanly edit that out. Please
don’t be startled or alarmed. One thing that was kind of fun about this is
that it made it a lot harder for me to interrupt, which is honestly probably
for the best, given that mostly when I do it’s to insert some dumb joke, but
that might throw people off the point they’re trying to make.
We recorded this a while ago (July 23rd, 2017) but I’m only releasing it now
due to inefficiencies in the editing pipeline (which is me).
