> **Listen to the season three FINALE of DevDiscuss here on DEV ✨**

{% podcast https://dev.to/devdiscuss/s3-e8-the-new-normal-for-developers-with-scott-hanselman %}

On this week's episode of DevDiscuss (the last one of the season!) @Jess and talked about the "new normal" for developers (i.e. what it's like to be a dev during the time of COVID-19 and the resulting boost in remote work practices). 
 

**We were joined by none other than [Scott Hanselman](https://dev.to/shanselman)** — Coder, Blogger, Teacher, Speaker, Author, Microsoft Partner Program Manager, and creator of [Computer Stuff They Didn't Teach You](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL0M0zPgJ3HSesuPIObeUVQNbKqlw5U2Vr) on YouTube.

> @shanselman chatted with us about a range of topics, including...

> - The phenomenon of devs who suddenly found themselves working remotely this year
> - The differences between working remotely and working under the COVID-19 quarantine
> - Zombie apocalypses
> - Why moving beyond syntax as a dev will help you gain a deeper understanding of code

> & _much_ more! 

This was such a great way to punctuate a fantastic season of the DevDiscuss podcast. Thank you for being with us for the past eight episodes. Jess, Levi, and I can't wait for the next season!

> **I also wanted to remind you all that if you leave us a review of either DevDiscuss or [DevNews](https://dev.to/devnews), we'll send you a free pack of awesome DEV Community stickers. Visit [this page](https://airtable.com/shr8oKAIMZgdYnBxx) for details.**
