About Healthy Software Developer

If working in software feels like politics, pressure, and burnout—you're not crazy. You're just awake. I'm Jayme Edwards, a tech career strategist and coach. After 27 years in the industry—across startups, consultancies, and enterprise teams—I learned the hard way that thriving in tech means more than chasing promotions or distracting yourself to try and survive the chaos. In this podcast (the audio version of my YouTube channel, Healthy Developer), I share honest lessons from my career, behind-the-scenes stories from real projects, and strategies you can use to have a healthier work/life balance while growing in tech. New episodes every Monday on YouTube and here on Wednesdays. Subscribe to join a growing community of software professionals choosing clarity, leverage, and a life over burnout.
