About this episode

The episode features a panel discussion from DDD South West in Bristol, exploring the motivations behind attending tech events and sharing insights on career development and parenthood.

Yes we're back from a break, and delighted to have been the lunchtime podcast hosts at DDD South West in Bristol. We were joined by five fabulous panelists: speakers Dylan Beattie, Jacqui Read and Kevlin Henney, and event organisers Carl Sargunar and Lorraine Pearce. We talk about why we are so willing to give up our Saturdays for events like these, what we wish we knew when we started out in the tech industry, and keeping up to speed whilst on maternity leave, amongst other things… Plus you’ll hear how being good at out of hours bug fixing might prepare you for parenthood!
