All Aboard the Mentor-Ship!

Software Engineering is a confusing trade.
You code all day and speak the language of 1's and 0's to the machines that power our modern world.
...At least that's what you were told.  
In reality, engineering is a people practice and with that comes all the joys and frustrations of interacting with real people.
Join two experienced software engineers as they share all the ups and downs that come with coding for a living.
At the end of the day software often resembles the authors that write them, they're works in progress.
