Discovered the @SoftSkillsEng podcast last week and started from the beginning. Their topics and discussions from 2016 are just as relevant and applicable today as then.

I was never one to listen to podcasts, yet here I am binging @SoftSkillsEng at 1am. Good stuff 🎧😌<br>— Angel (@The_Sleepy_Dev) April 27, 2021

Up to episode 26 of the @SoftSkillsEng podcast after discovering it a few days ago. These guys are really funny the lessons are very relevant to software development. 10% down should be caught up in a couple weeks. I wonder how their REACT thing turns out? Probably goes nowhere.<br>— Alex Chesser (@AlexC04) April 24, 2021

If you work in tech and feel you're a bit lacking in soft skills, check this podcast out.<br>I'm personally a nerd and I didn't know how to "get along" with most people when I started working. It helps to know how to communicate and co-exist. @SoftSkillsEng https://t.co/BMpvLRoTnX<br>— Hammerton Mwawuda (@h_mwawuda) August 25, 2020
