This month, our two hosts speak to the brilliant Ruadhri.

Ruadhri originally studied philosophy and kind of stumbled into engineering after reading a book on Unix in his spare time (or something like that, as usual, we will let him introduce himself).

But he is an Architect with years of experience and great stories to share.

We could have talked to him for hours, so we hope you enjoy listening.

Thanks as always.

This month they are joined by the amazing Sarah Hughes. Sarah has a background in psychology and has worked in various industries NONE of which are tech.
We dive into how teams in general tend to work and we see how human behaviours tend not to change no matter what industry we work in.

Thanks for listening.

Our two bumbling hosts talk about the best and worst places they worked, and what made the best the best. They also introduce the concept of Engineering joy and try to come up with ideas for how to create it in the workplace. 

Note: The initial podcast was recorded in a pub in Dublin. We would like to apologise for the shite audio quality. (Darryn blames Rob, and Rob blames Dublin)
