Plus Asif shares questions to help you gain clarity before your next transitions AND how to attract & retain senior engineers at smaller companies. "When you have the ability to take a step back, you begin to think a little bit more philosophically about your journey. And it's not just incremental thinking. When it's incremental thinking it's about, 'what's next in my career.' But when you are able to take a step back, it's about... 'What impact do you want to leave behind? When I look back 10 years from now, will I be happy? Will I feel a sense of fulfillment?' I think that line of questioning really gives you the courage to be able to break away from an incremental way of looking at next steps."

In other news, the guys discussed Microsoft's rebrand of Windows Virtual Desktop, the unveiling of MacOS Monterey at WWDC, the US treating ransomware like terrorism, and malware targeting Windows containers.
