About this listen
Welcome back to I'm a Software Engineer ~ What Next? — the podcast for devs figuring out their next move. Hosted by recruiter James Wilson and engineer Matt Sinclair, we unpack what it really means to build a career in tech today.
This week, we sit down with Dan Moore — author of Letters to a New Developer, startup founder, DevRel leader, and all-round tech veteran — to talk about how careers really unfold when things don’t go to plan.
In this week’s episode, we cover:
Why writing a book can change your career (even if no one reads it)
Crashing a national TV website — and what failure really teaches
The IC ceiling: when to pivot, when to manage, and why leverage matters
Why opinionated engineers stand out (and fence-sitters fade away)
How AI shifts the game: product sense > raw coding
