<p>This week Jamison and Dave answer these questions:</p> <ol> <li>A developer on a team I lead doesn’t seem interested in growing. How do I help them engage more?</li> <li>I gave two weeks notice, but was told part of the way through to not come in any more. I still had work left and this made me feel bad. Is this common? Did I do anything wrong?</li> </ol> <p>Jamison talks about the <a href="http://engineering.khanacademy.org/posts/career-development.htm">Khan Academy</a> engineering culture. He kinda misquoted it though. They don’t explicitly say they lay people off who don’t progress.</p>
