There are many topics to handle, like the impact of AI on how valuable we feel, how COVID-19 impacted careers, how we work in and with remote teams, how to get to know new colleagues and much more. Yes, there is even a sidestep where we compared the Java and .NET communities.Guests   Georgios Diamantopoulos       https://www.linkedin.com/in/georgiosd/        https://x.com/georgiosd      Tom Cools       https://www.linkedin.com/in/tom-cools-17547548/         https://bsky.app/profile/tcoolsit.bsky.social      Lutske de Leeuw       https://www.linkedin.com/in/lutske/     Jessica Siewert       https://www.linkedin.com/in/jesiewert/      Rijo Sam       https://www.linkedin.com/in/rijosam19/        https://github.com/Rijosam   Content00:00 Introduction of topic and guests00:48 Georgios Diamantopoulos about the impact of your work on your body05:22 Comparing Java to .NET community06:54 Lutske de Leeuw about the impact of AI on our job09:13 Impact of Covid and working from home10:48 Talk with your colleagues about mental issues12:06 Tom Cools about switching jobs13:00 About the danger of a burnout, dealing with stress, and trying too much at the same time17:08 How to deal with Impostor Syndrom20:31 Jessica Siewert about dealing with conflicts within a team22:50 How to get in contact with new people24:58 Rijo Sam about working in and with remote teams26:34 Schedule "coffee moments"!30:54 Impact of time zone differences33:02 Misunderstanding each other because of cultural differences34:44 The danger of text chat versus having a voice chat37:04 Avoid team burnout!37:43 Conclusion
