The Standup Keith Thompson & Jamie Wright

Keith starts the chat with the wonderful encouraging topic of surviving another layoff. Keith pours some out and then made it rain.

Jamie chats about being at a large client and the different shenanigans he has to deal with. He then talks about his amazing trip to Norway for NDC Oslo.

Keith and Jamie then chat about maybe stopping this podcast? You'll have to listen I guess.

Keith talks about his tool-sharpening solution. It's a good one if you're a nerd.

Keith then jumps into a mentoring program he is working on with a mentee at work. He talks about how they paired on a PR review that the mentee.

Jamie then talks about his boring ass shit around Tatsu, Kyber, and his consulting business. If you're into the status of those things, feel free. It's your life.

Keith snaps and goes postal at work and describes the situation. Keith is CORPORATE. He got put into Shopify jail. Then we get into Keith's Tooling Corner™

Jamie comes in to save the show, again. He starts off talking about cool stuff, not work crap. Then comes the work crap. He talks about some work he did on Tatsu and Juvet. Then he drops a unique opportunity that came his way.

The nerds are back for another week. Sorry.

Keith chats about Hack Week at Shopify. He bores you with how the hack weeks go at Shopify and what he worked on with various teams. Shsh...

Jamie comes in with more boring shit and talks about his work on Juvet and Tatsu.

We finish up with more nerd talk about conferences and table top games.

We had a false start and I just let it go. No one is listening anyway.

Keith starts off the discussion around a new project he is leading at Shopify. He talks and talks and talks about meetings at Shopify.

Jamie comes in, with boots on the ground, just grinding.
