<p>In this episode, Dave and Jamison answer these questions:</p> <ol> <li> <p>A listener named Derek asks,</p> <p>I am the CTO and cofounder of a startup. Now that vibecoding is a thing, our CEO has kind of gone rogue, and and he’s vibecoding a bunch of random stuff, one of which he bought a domain for and has pushed a potential customer to pay for, without talking to our team. I feel like this is fragmenting our focus, but I don’t want to ban our CEO from vibecoding and being creative. how should I handle this without damaging relationships?</p> </li> <li> <p>AdmiralFox asks,</p> <p>Hi Dave and Jamison!</p> <p>Longtime listener, first-time question asker here.</p> <p>After 14 years at a consultancy firm, I’m moving to a major retailer to become their Java Learning and Community Lead. Instead of shipping code, my new role will be shipping knowledge. I will be managing learning paths, organizing internal knowledge sharing events, and help managers screen candidates. Basically, I’m moving from a ‘Maker’ role to a ‘Multiplier’ role.</p> <p>I have 13 weeks of notice period (Standard European “I’m not leaving yet after 14 years” protocol) and I want to use my free evenings to prepare.</p> <p>My questions for you:</p> <p>How do I transition from “the guy with the technical answers” to “the guy who helps everyone else find the answers”?</p> <p>How can I use the remaining time of my notice period to prepare for the people side of this role?</p> <p>Love the show! Keep up the ‘quit-your-job’ advice coming (although I’ve already taken it!)</p> </li> </ol>
