Episode 468: Should I take a mini-retirement and doubling down on anachronisms

In this episode of Soft Skills Engineering, Jamison and Dave tackle listener questions, starting with advice for a senior engineer contemplating a career shift to UX design after receiving an inheritance, discussing the financial implications, the value of a master's degree, and the potential for technical UX designers in the current market. They then address a question about incorporating old-school phrases into workplace communication, brainstorming ideas for maintaining a "linguistic cryptid" status among younger colleagues, mixing in regional slang, and leveraging historical tech references for humorous and educational effect.
