421: Give Yourself A Five

Brett, Jeff, and the fabulous Jay Miller dive into hilarious and chaotic tales of surviving corporate reorgs, handling ADHD, and wrestling with DevRel magic. From API designing demands to repeated layoffs, they share hearty laughs and personal struggles. Jeff finds mental solace in his organized workshop, crafting metal art while Brett recounts school rebellions. The trio also discuss AI tools, secret SkunkWorks projects, and quirky app designs. Expect tech talk tangents, live coding passion, and a touch of corporate drama – all with a dose of irreverent humor!
