Episode 015: On-Call Schedules
00:20 Welcome, Alyson van Hardenberg (https://twitter.com/akvanh)!
Alyson is a Software Engineer at Honeycomb (http://Honeycomb.io) and the mother of two boys.
02:41 Pager or Baby? Which do you choose?
It was a non-issue for Alyson. One of Honeycomb's managers, before even hiring Alyson, said that she'd take Alyson's pager during "off-duty" hours as an added responsibility. They'll check in and reevaluate when her son is one.
