<p>Dave and Jamison, long time listener first time caller. I appreciate everything you do, I look forward to my Monday morning commute because of this podcast.</p>

<p>I’ve been a software developer for about 4 years. I’m a career changer and graduated from a boot camp. I was fortunate enough to earn a junior developer position at a non software company and have been promoted during my tenure. I work on a small team and enjoy what I do and the level of impact I have. I am one of the most senior developers. My only concern is that I do not receive direct mentorship from more experienced developers.</p>

<p>Am I limiting my future prospects by not job hopping? When is the right time to leave a company and seek new opportunities?</p>

<p>Hello Mr. 💃 and Mr. Smith.

I’ve been working in software ~6 years. In the same company (don’t judge). And about a year ago I advanced in the position of a team lead of 4 developers.

I would actually like to attribute this advancement, at least partially, to listening to your podcast. Although luck was involved as well.

ANYWAY. There were quite a few questions on how to keep your soul intact while working with Claude. And your advice was to focus on product side, and\or to focus on improving the processes.
