In part two, we have a discussion about their professors, design software, life skills, and we (try) to answer the $150,000 question. The interview went quite a bit longer than we expected it to go, so I've decided...

6: Feelback vs. Feedback
January 12, 2015 04:10 - 4 minutes - 2.31 MBHow do you code a feeling? Today, we're going to be talking about how to deal with ambiguous feedback. The answer is kind of ambiguous, unfortunately, but we live in a subjective world, so let's all learn how to value subjective things, shall we? We've managed to hit LESS than 5 minutes on this one! Hope you enjoy it. Up next in the queue is our first interview episode double-release, which is a bit longer, so be on the look out! If you enjoyed this episode, please consider buying me some t...
5: Addictions
January 09, 2015 17:00 - 11 minutes - 5.76 MBIn today's episode, we will not be talking about drugs. For long. Instead, we're going to talk about some kind-of amazingly weird trends in how we use technology, and how we might could be more intentional in the time we spend with screens. We (again) went over the 10 minute mark, but hopefully the discussion is worth the extra half minute to you!

4: Learning about Learning
January 08, 2015 17:00 - 10 minutes - 4.91 MBLearning is one of the most important skills for developers to cultivate. In this episode, I'll talk about why that's the case, and a method for learning you might not have tried before.

3: Prototypes
January 06, 2015 17:00 - 7 minutes - 4.12 MBPrototyping is a process that bridges the gap between production and static design.

1: Introductions, formalities, etc
January 05, 2015 17:00 - 6 minutes - 3.27 MBThis is the proverbial "hello" episode, where I tell you what Developer Tea is all about. Developer Tea is born out of my own desire to have shorter podcasts that come out more often. I very rarely have the time to listen to so many of the podcasts I'd like to listen to, because they are just simply too long. Developer Tea is engineered to fit inside your tea (or coffee, or kombucha) break. If you enjoyed this episode, please consider buying me some tea: http://www.developertea.com/buy-me-tea
