Episode 499: Should I quit my solo dev job with a sports team and senile seniors

This episode of Soft Skills Engineering addresses two listener questions. The first explores the dilemma of a solo developer at a sports team who enjoys their job but worries about skill deficits from lack of collaboration. The hosts debate whether the listener should stay in their comfortable role or seek growth through a new job, weighing happiness against potential career stagnation. The second question comes from a listener dealing with underperforming offshore team members. The hosts discuss the potential causes, including a contract mentality versus full-time employment, cultural barriers, and the risk of demotivation. They suggest the listener communicate the impact of the situation to their manager and consider the possibility that the team members may not be a good fit for their roles.
