219. Dungeons & Developers

Today we have a really fun episode in which we are joined by our friend Sophie Creutz to discuss the parallels between Dungeons & Dragons and the world of software development! There are clear links and common threads that seem to run between these two worlds and we start off this conversation considering why the game of D&D might immediately appeal to developers. A lot of this might have to do with rules and the concept of a journey or quest, but we also consider further counterparts from the two spaces. Sophie shares some of her deep knowledge from the role-playing game, and we even have time to think about the character attributes that make a good developer! So from product managers to DMs, to quests and careers, be sure to listen in as we explore what we as developers can learn from the amazing game of D&D!
