The Journey from Support to Engineering - hear from Mick on how he made a change in his career at Buffer!

On this week's episode, join Jordan and Joe as they learn about our guest's path from a support role at Buffer to an engineer! Mick began his Buffer journey running support, and it was (and is!) something he does very well! Along the way, he learned the product inside and out and recognized things that would block or slow down the team or customers. So, he turned to learning code as a way to create new things to speed up internal processes and flows. Eventually, he made the jump from support to engineering! This week, we unpack what that journey looked like for him.

We hope you enjoy this week's episode and feel free to continue the discussion online with us at @bufferdevs!

Evolving the teams with Product Management - hear about the apps team product management journey at Buffer! On this week's episode, join Jordan and Joe as they reflect on the apps team product management (PM) journey with our now-PM, Steve! Up until this year, the apps team at Buffer has never had a product manager - this is a role we've always tried to fulfil amongst ourselves, or relied on other teams at Buffer to support with. Now that we have a PM and are experiencing some great changes to our team and how we work, we take a few moments to reflect on how we've previously been working, with how we are seeing things adapt now. We hope you enjoy this week's episode and feel free to continue the discussion online with us at @bufferdevs!…

Side projects - they are everywhere in the tech industry. On this week's episode, join Jordan and Joe as they unpack the impact of side projects. After all, Buffer itself is the result of our CEO's side project endeavors! We chat about them in terms of our careers, how to manage them, what they can help bring to the table as well as the not-so-great bits about them. Further, we ask the question - should you even have one at all ? It's easy to feel left behind in the development world if you don't, but there's more to the story. We hope you enjoy this week's episode and feel free to continue the discussion online with us at @bufferdevs!

Within the Engineering team at Buffer we have several front-end teams working on different parts of the product. Whilst it is important to create a space for continued learning for these teams, there are also a lot of shared goals. To ensure that these teams are able to collaborate on these goals, frequent gatherings take place to create a space to learn from one another and help move tasks forward. Ana Almeida , who is a Senior Engineer working on the Front-End of Buffer, facilitates these syncs and takes some time in this episode to share her experiences! Here we cover: What the front end syncs are being used for How they're helping to push the team forward How they're helping to bring the teams together in a remote environment What the role looks like for someone facilitating the syncs and any guidance for others looking to do the same thing ...and more!
