InfoQ's podcasts are interviews with the software architects, senior engineers, and team leaders who build and operate production systems. Episodes work through the tradeoffs behind real decisions in software architecture, AI and ML engineering, and engineering culture. Guests are practitioners and QCon speakers describing what worked and what broke in systems they built.
Interviews with the software architects and senior engineers who build and run production systems. Each episode works through the tradeoffs behind a real decision in architecture, AI engineering, and development.

Michael Stiefel spoke with Ken Finnigan about how the lack of feedback impedes the development of software professionals. Without feedback, the right candidates are not hired, software professionals cannot improve or grow into new roles, or individuals stagnate or regress in their current positions. Feedback must also be delivered at the right time - when it can be effectively used.
