Episode 10: Peopleware, Part II (Live at RailsConf!)

---

This episode, we concluded our discussion of Peopleware, by Tom DeMarco and Timothy Lister. Following some personal reflections on the book, especially about how it relates to goal-setting and other processes, we spoke about:

• 10:09 Team culture/identity vs. company coherence
• 21:25 How work culture alienates people unnecessarily… and how to do better!
• 35:07 Directing team culture as a manager
• 44:55 What’s the ideal office environment? When is remote work awesome vs. problematic?
• 53:53 Aligning motivations of managers and developers

We’d love to hear your thoughts about the book as well. Join us on Slack and share with other Dev Empaths!
