In this episode, Andrew and Nathan kick things off by switching to a weekly schedule, using their own process as a springboard to explore professional workflows. They dive into the value of agile “sprints” and the absolute necessity of clear, written communication to keep teams aligned and avoid constant, unproductive meetings.
The conversation then shifts to the darker side of professional life, tackling the broken hiring process, the pitfalls of “faking it ’til you make it,” and why common tech interviews often test the wrong skills. Using a recent story about a student who used AI to cheat on coding tests, they unpack the pervasive dishonesty in tech culture and social media. Finally, they land on a critical question: how do you identify and correct a toxic team culture? Listen in for a candid look at the messiness of communication, authenticity, and building teams that actually work.
The LFG episodes are the fortnightly recorded checkins between Andrew and Nathan, that they hope help inspire your curiosity and creativity. These are different from typical guest episodes as they are less focused on conversation.
