[00:02:09] We have a very special guest today. We have a tech evangelist,
[00:02:31] Joey deVilla: [00:02:31] Always glad to be here
[00:02:34] I do love that show intro that you have.
[00:02:38] Frederick Weiss: [00:02:38] Thanks, man. Really
[00:02:43] Joey deVilla: [00:02:43] It warms my
[00:02:48] Frederick Weiss: [00:02:48] The thunder cats
[00:02:54] Like they have a little kid version where it’s all funny, all new
[00:03:05] Joey deVilla: [00:03:05] of
[00:03:05] Joey deVilla: [00:03:05] fun. I have
[00:03:13] Always classic. Exactly. A
[00:03:16] Frederick Weiss: [00:03:16] Great,
[00:03:33] I think you’ve been on the Thunder Nerds now for 333 times we first
[00:03:58] You can’t travel. How’s business going? a big question. Go for it.
[00:04:04] Joey deVilla: [00:04:04] Tricky. All
[00:04:22] And does one of the newer people? Yeah I just got cut. What I did was I
[00:04:48] So I was taking care of the half of the book that covered Swift UI
[00:05:19] You were declaring the actual UI in code and doing it declaratively. If
[00:05:43] There’s really, it’s not that STEM, okay. Yeah. It, yeah, it is
[00:06:07] And then if you wanna, if you want if I were Johnny Cochran, I would just
[00:06:31] Oh yeah. Did I change that variable? Oh, I better update that thing on the
[00:06:37] Frederick Weiss: [00:06:37] Is it
[00:06:53] I was doing things with less friction. I’m going to keep on the path
[00:07:04] Joey deVilla: [00:07:04] happens
[00:07:14] C has less than 40 keywords. Nice and simple. Like even the latest version
[00:07:38] And if you can continue programming in a language from 1970, that’s
[00:08:00] Yeah. All the more, power can get all the good object oriented goodness
[00:08:20] You can do it. If you’re programming in GTK, that’s exactly what
[00:08:33] Frederick Weiss: [00:08:33] Yeah.
[00:08:44] Hey, the results are the results and if they’re great, Good for you.
[00:08:58] Joey deVilla: [00:08:58] In that, in
[00:09:05] And I would say something like when you get the notification badge on an
[00:09:26] And you were getting an update from minutes or hours ago. And I would
[00:09:52] And then display that value somewhere on the UI. That’s already been
[00:10:14] Like the Eric Raymond’s hackers ditch, the jargon handbook, the hacker
[00:10:34] Frederick Weiss: [00:10:34] I never
[00:10:38] So yeah.
[00:10:40] Joey deVilla: [00:10:40] Did you and
[00:10:41] Frederick Weiss: [00:10:41] how to
[00:10:45] Joey deVilla: [00:10:45] don’t
[00:11:02] They were offering a lot of courses and I think there was some government
[00:11:20] So I thought I taught two two Python courses and a JavaScript course. And
[00:11:45] They now go by the name neon temple. And it was security training from
[00:11:55] Frederick Weiss: [00:11:55] Oh, that
[00:11:59] Joey deVilla: [00:11:59] Yeah, it was
[00:12:09] Or let’s see, no DDA. Yeah, Or just set up a DDoSs or just look yeah.
[00:12:16] Frederick Weiss: [00:12:16] What was
[00:12:19] Joey deVilla: [00:12:19] Ooh,
[00:12:23] Frederick Weiss: [00:12:23] Just one
[00:12:29] It was a
[00:12:29] Joey deVilla: [00:12:29] big
[00:12:30] Joey deVilla: [00:12:30] pro it was a
[00:12:42] Frederick Weiss: [00:12:42] No,
[00:12:43] Joey deVilla: [00:12:43] is a
[00:13:02] If anybody’s listening to the podcast, go look it up. Pona Gotzsche
[00:13:11] Frederick Weiss: [00:13:11] I love
[00:13:23] Good for you. What, let me ask you, what was the what was it, what was the
[00:13:32] Joey deVilla: [00:13:32] The, a,
[00:13:35] Frederick Weiss: [00:13:35] I’m
[00:13:36] Joey deVilla: [00:13:36] Oh, going
[00:13:44] So it’s been published for a good long time. But the other thing is I
[00:14:12] Because well, one, it would be absolute fun, but two, I I want to pay it
[00:14:28] Frederick Weiss: [00:14:28] It must
[00:14:31] Joey deVilla: [00:14:31] to be able
[00:14:32] Oh yeah, absolutely. And the other thing of course is that this is the
[00:14:50] I basically said, look, if this. If all the books you publish are the
[00:15:11] Frederick Weiss: [00:15:11] And
[00:15:14] So where can somebody find out about the book?
[00:15:16] Joey deVilla: [00:15:16] Okay. We can
[00:15:26] Frederick Weiss: [00:15:26] We’ll
[00:15:44] You did some research, maybe you, looked at some people on this. I
[00:15:50] Joey deVilla: [00:15:50] did some
[00:16:01] Frederick Weiss: [00:16:01] the
[00:16:01] Joey deVilla: [00:16:01] because
[00:16:07] Nice tip. Okay. And the reason for that is I used I use this for research
[00:16:29] So I figured I should do my research. I should find out who is the same,
[00:16:54] And Sam let’s see, he’s now head of developer relations.
[00:17:26] So it was really handy. So yes big, debt of gratitude to the thunder
[00:17:35] Frederick Weiss: [00:17:35] I tell a
[00:18:03] Joey deVilla: [00:18:03] Okay.
[00:18:29] And talk to them about a couple of things. One of which is programming
[00:18:53] Ah that’s that, that, that sort of thing. And it’s and it is both
[00:19:28] That sort of thing, but it’s something that you don’t do under
[00:19:53] Instead you go to home Depot and you buy a standardized door. And ideally
[00:20:20] Yeah. That is the same day. That is the same deal with Auth0. We are using
[00:20:47] You can worry about what the main thing your application does. Yeah.
[00:20:55] Frederick Weiss: [00:20:55] Yeah,
[00:21:13] And, then being able to depend on that and even more validity to the, to
[00:21:35] Joey deVilla: [00:21:35] It’s
[00:21:40] Frederick Weiss: [00:21:40] What
[00:21:44] Joey deVilla: [00:21:44] Okay.
[00:21:50] Frederick Weiss: [00:21:50] They,
[00:21:53] Joey deVilla: [00:21:53] it’s
[00:21:58] fast. The love. Okay both there is a company called Okta and they are a
[00:22:26] In fact they aren’t in. I mean they’re real bread and butter
[00:22:56] So there are these large fortune 500 fortune, two 50 fortune 100 companies
[00:23:25] Whereas OD zero on the other hand basically is going after milkers, who
[00:24:09] Okay. Gotcha.
[00:24:10] Frederick Weiss: [00:24:10] I was
[00:24:18] Joey deVilla: [00:24:18] That’s
[00:24:20] Frederick Weiss: [00:24:20] you have
[00:24:34] Serve all these different levels of clients from what you said with the
[00:24:46] Joey deVilla: [00:24:46] Yeah. And
[00:25:03] And our sales teams will take a look and go, you know what? Our buddy here
[00:25:25] Or on the other hand, somebody is going to go, you know what you need. You
[00:25:44] Frederick Weiss: [00:25:44] but no, I
[00:25:55] Is there very advantageous things that come along with this, where they
[00:26:07] Joey deVilla: [00:26:07] right? Yeah.
[00:26:18] It’s like going to Amazon and suddenly finding double the page, double
[00:26:24] Frederick Weiss: [00:26:24] Wow.
[00:26:42] Joey deVilla: [00:26:42] gather,
[00:26:54] And a lot of that re a lot of that requires a lot of that just requires a
[00:27:23] Earlier today we had a joint show off your projects. Show off your
[00:27:46] Yeah. And we’re, just beginning, we’re just beginning to get to
[00:28:10] I knew him back from his Bismark days at Microsoft when I was a developer
[00:28:20] Frederick Weiss: [00:28:20] did my
[00:28:26] Joey deVilla: [00:28:26] Oh, yeah.
[00:28:38] And actually it was the last Zune, the Zune HD, the one with a windows
[00:28:55] And it turns out it was already in the works.
[00:28:58] Frederick Weiss: [00:28:58] Isn’t
[00:29:01] Joey deVilla: [00:29:01] That, that,
[00:29:23] Sure, Yeah. That, that’s the way. Yeah. So yeah. So I am sure there
[00:29:48] Every, every day is going to be a little bit of a surprise. I don’t
[00:30:04] Frederick Weiss: [00:30:04] Are you
[00:30:08] Did you get your Tuk two vaccines and what flavor did you get? You get a
[00:30:14] Joey deVilla: [00:30:14] Pfizer? Yes,
[00:30:46] Bendix it’s the air force who are helping hustle people from from
[00:31:06] And they were quite efficient. If it weren’t for, yeah, like the
[00:31:27] The parking was a time-consuming thing.
[00:31:31] Frederick Weiss: [00:31:31] Yeah. I
[00:31:48] They were very professional. They got me in and out like that. It was the
[00:32:07] I’m two weeks in. I’m still scared to go out in public, even
[00:32:24] Joey deVilla: [00:32:24] know.
[00:32:28] You play D and D
[00:32:30] Frederick Weiss: [00:32:30] I know of
[00:32:34] Joey deVilla: [00:32:34] You have
[00:32:37] Frederick Weiss: [00:32:37] have a
[00:32:44] Joey deVilla: [00:32:44] Okay. So
[00:33:10] That’s rolling. A one, any D and D player knows sooner or later
[00:33:17] Frederick Weiss: [00:33:17] why
[00:33:20] Joey deVilla: [00:33:20] 5%. So
[00:33:39] There is Dr. Fowchee and the rest of the CDC and I have an additional
[00:33:58] Frederick Weiss: [00:33:58] Your
[00:34:03] Joey deVilla: [00:34:03] So yeah. All
[00:34:31] They were actually both in St. Pete. The new the new doc Ford’s the
[00:34:59] And that’s about it holding off until I’m holding off. But I
[00:35:19] Outdoors is a meetup where my wife and I run coders, creatives and craft
[00:35:44] Frederick Weiss: [00:35:44] I, hope
[00:36:15] You it’s, a thing, I guess it, it just progressively makes sense as
[00:36:36] Can you give me some tips, some ideas to help me improve my career journey
[00:36:49] Joey deVilla: [00:36:49] Okay.
[00:36:58] Frederick Weiss: [00:36:58] I love
[00:37:00] Joey deVilla: [00:37:00] right. And I
[00:37:28] Let’s let’s do a little bit of experimenting. Let’s see.
[00:37:56] It comes, disguised in all sorts. It comes disguised as all sorts of
[00:38:38] I’ve got to use the standard, or I’ve got to use the Canadian ism.
[00:39:01] Because you’re doing some development work, right? Yeah. All right.
[00:39:07] Frederick Weiss: [00:39:07] bit of a
[00:39:11] Joey deVilla: [00:39:11] cetera, et
[00:39:29] Yeah, 2000. It’s actually the newest of the mainstream languages,
[00:39:58] Yeah, that’s right. Ruby 1995 and Python the super hot language. 1991.
[00:40:26] Yeah, but no, that’s funny. Yeah. Talking about lately are these is
[00:40:53] Lessons learned from programming in the eighties. And a lot of them are
[00:41:23] Yeah. So then these nineties languages are carrying a lot of baggage of
[00:41:43] Simple. Yeah, simple C plus syntax. That is the only time you’re ever
[00:42:06] You can use the really well as object oriented programming languages or
[00:42:25] Let’s see. Now they provide some declarative interfaces. A lot of them
[00:42:46] It causes lots of problems. That’s what optionals are there for. Yeah,
[00:43:06] Frederick Weiss: [00:43:06]
[00:43:08] Yeah, there you
[00:43:09] Joey deVilla: [00:43:09] go. Some
[00:43:34] What, if you could treat the network as a data type and that and
[00:43:50] You have to get to fire up the modem and make the modem sound like
[00:43:54] Frederick Weiss: [00:43:54] you to
[00:43:58] Joey deVilla: [00:43:58] Yeah. And in
[00:44:10] Frederick Weiss: [00:44:10]
[00:44:12] Joey deVilla: [00:44:12] While they
[00:44:16] Frederick Weiss: [00:44:16] awesome.
[00:44:27] Joey deVilla: [00:44:27] I have
[00:44:30] Frederick Weiss: [00:44:30] Oh, you
[00:44:43] Joey deVilla: [00:44:43] able to,
[00:44:46] Yeah. Before hacking, there was something called freaking P H R E a K I N
[00:45:20] So John Draper tries, he makes himself the operator gives himself all
[00:45:32] Frederick Weiss: [00:45:32]
[00:45:44] Todd Willoughby is asking for any R&D books that you could recommend
[00:45:59] Joey deVilla: [00:45:59] books,
[00:46:21] But my last name is Paul. Yeah. P O L Y a. Okay. The classic book called
[00:46:47] At the very least what it does is it teaches you an approach to problem
[00:47:09] He’s written a whole bunch of stuff about the way engineers think, and
[00:47:32] Taking what we know of science or what we generally know and finding a way
[00:47:52] Frederick Weiss: [00:47:52] All
[00:47:52] We’ll find that we’ll put a link in the show notes then. Yeah. I
[00:48:15] I’m so passionate about this, whether it’s a new technology or old
[00:48:29] Joey deVilla: [00:48:29] yeah. And
[00:48:51] Just because you know what it is it works on all sorts of platforms. Like
[00:49:21] What I mean by that is that generally what I’m trying to do is I’m
[00:49:51] And it’s the same way where an investor would go, yes, 70% in mutual
[00:50:15] Why not? 2021. Yeah, exactly. That was, not on my 20, 21 bingo card, but
[00:50:38] Frederick Weiss: [00:50:38] the link.
[00:50:40] Hey we’re getting close to the end and I want to get to our next
[00:50:51] You have been getting, obviously you’re the accordion guy, but now
[00:51:03] Joey deVilla: [00:51:03] us actually.
[00:51:32] Oh, sorry. Yeah, it was terrible. I did one last performance and yeah.
[00:51:55] They were Frankensteiny and yeah, they were the goth. Yeah. Yeah. They
[00:52:17] And they, soon as they said, they basically said, here’s your
[00:52:37] Take it, you play it. I said, okay. So that’s how I ended up taking it
[00:53:02] Oh, there we go. Beautiful. It’s right behind me. Here. It is an
[00:53:25] And yeah, I do. And yeah, I am working on it. I am working on playing some
[00:53:49] Every keyboard manufacturer who makes an accord mace has an arranger kind
[00:54:06] Frederick Weiss: [00:54:06] Let me
[00:54:07] Joey deVilla: [00:54:07] Taylor Swift
[00:54:08] Yeah, exactly. So you’re all
[00:54:11] Frederick Weiss: [00:54:11] let’s
[00:54:12] Joey deVilla: [00:54:12] play,
[00:54:13] something. A quickly playing the song of the moment or I’ll play the
[00:54:19] Frederick Weiss: [00:54:19] Yes,
[00:54:29] Joey deVilla: [00:54:29] Let’s
[00:54:41] Is that coming across? I don’t, yeah, we can hear it perfectly, but
[00:54:54] Oh, nice. It’s close. There’s the real part is actually,
[00:55:08] yeah. So I’ve been having fun with that. I’m going to have to
[00:55:15] Frederick Weiss: [00:55:15] Yes,
[00:55:34] I see a pattern here. Then, Oh, LinkedIn, Joey Davila. The global nerdery
[00:55:49] Joey deVilla: [00:55:49] Okay. Global
[00:55:56] The name was randomly determined by a program that I wrote and two cows
[00:56:17] Yeah. And I tested my own app by going, I need a name for my tech site. I
[00:56:43] W doesn’t have characters like sniper Wolf and I was a global nerdy.
[00:56:52] Frederick Weiss: [00:56:52]
[00:56:53] Joey deVilla: [00:56:53] Yeah. So I
[00:57:17] Currently. The list is for online events that have some kind of online
[00:57:46] Yeah. So that’s basically, what that blog is about. It’s trying to
[00:57:53] Frederick Weiss: [00:57:53] I love
[00:58:00] Joey deVilla: [00:58:00] 2006 and the
[00:58:07] Oh, that’s
[00:58:08] Frederick Weiss: [00:58:08] awesome.
[00:58:19] Words of wisdom. Joey, I want to ask you at, the end here, if you could
[00:58:30] Joey deVilla: [00:58:30] yours. Okay.
[00:58:57] And now think of the current plate that we’re under and how it
[00:59:35] Its weight distribution is all wrong. It’s wing sizes, all wrong.
[00:59:47] Frederick Weiss: [00:59:47] awesome.
[00:59:59] Hopefully, we’ll be able to see you in the future, in the flesh at the
[01:00:13] Joey deVilla: [01:00:13] great.
[01:00:14] Joey deVilla: [01:00:14] All right,
[01:00:17] Frederick Weiss: [01:00:17] Thank
[01:00:23] Thank you so much, everybody for watching. Sincerely appreciate it. And

[00:02:34] I do love that show intro that you have.
[00:02:38] Frederick Weiss: [00:02:38] Thanks, man. Really
[00:02:43] Joey deVilla: [00:02:43] It warms my
[00:02:48] Frederick Weiss: [00:02:48] The thunder cats
[00:02:54] Like they have a little kid version where it’s all funny, all new
[00:03:05] Joey deVilla: [00:03:05] of
[00:03:05] Joey deVilla: [00:03:05] fun. I have
[00:03:13] Always classic. Exactly. A
[00:03:16] Frederick Weiss: [00:03:16] Great,
[00:03:33] I think you’ve been on the Thunder Nerds now for 333 times we first
[00:03:58] You can’t travel. How’s business going? a big question. Go for it.
[00:04:04] Joey deVilla: [00:04:04] Tricky. All

[00:06:31] Oh yeah. Did I change that variable? Oh, I better update that thing on the

[00:06:53] I was doing things with less friction. I’m going to keep on the path
[00:07:04] Joey deVilla: [00:07:04] happens

[00:08:33] Frederick Weiss: [00:08:33] Yeah.
[00:08:44] Hey, the results are the results and if they’re great, Good for you.
[00:08:58] Joey deVilla: [00:08:58] In that, in
[00:09:05] And I would say something like when you get the notification badge on an
[00:09:26] And you were getting an update from minutes or hours ago. And I would
[00:09:52] And then display that value somewhere on the UI. That’s already been
[00:10:14] Like the Eric Raymond’s hackers ditch, the jargon handbook, the hacker
[00:10:34] Frederick Weiss: [00:10:34] I never
[00:10:38] So yeah.
[00:10:40] Joey deVilla: [00:10:40] Did you and
[00:10:41] Frederick Weiss: [00:10:41] how to
[00:10:45] Joey deVilla: [00:10:45] don’t
[00:11:02] They were offering a lot of courses and I think there was some government
[00:11:20] So I thought I taught two two Python courses and a JavaScript course. And
[00:11:45] They now go by the name neon temple. And it was security training from
[00:11:55] Frederick Weiss: [00:11:55] Oh, that
[00:11:59] Joey deVilla: [00:11:59] Yeah, it was
[00:12:09] Or let’s see, no DDA. Yeah, Or just set up a DDoSs or just look yeah.
[00:12:16] Frederick Weiss: [00:12:16] What was
[00:12:19] Joey deVilla: [00:12:19] Ooh,
[00:12:23] Frederick Weiss: [00:12:23] Just one
[00:12:29] It was a
[00:12:29] Joey deVilla: [00:12:29] big
[00:12:30] Joey deVilla: [00:12:30] pro it was a
[00:12:42] Frederick Weiss: [00:12:42] No,
[00:12:43] Joey deVilla: [00:12:43] is a
[00:13:02] If anybody’s listening to the podcast, go look it up. Pona Gotzsche
[00:13:11] Frederick Weiss: [00:13:11] I love
[00:13:23] Good for you. What, let me ask you, what was the what was it, what was the
[00:13:32] Joey deVilla: [00:13:32] The, a,
[00:13:35] Frederick Weiss: [00:13:35] I’m
[00:13:36] Joey deVilla: [00:13:36] Oh, going
[00:13:44] So it’s been published for a good long time. But the other thing is I
[00:14:12] Because well, one, it would be absolute fun, but two, I I want to pay it
[00:14:28] Frederick Weiss: [00:14:28] It must
[00:14:31] Joey deVilla: [00:14:31] to be able
[00:14:32] Oh yeah, absolutely. And the other thing of course is that this is the
[00:14:50] I basically said, look, if this. If all the books you publish are the
[00:15:11] Frederick Weiss: [00:15:11] And
[00:15:14] So where can somebody find out about the book?
[00:15:16] Joey deVilla: [00:15:16] Okay. We can
[00:15:26] Frederick Weiss: [00:15:26] We’ll
[00:15:44] You did some research, maybe you, looked at some people on this. I
[00:15:50] Joey deVilla: [00:15:50] did some
[00:16:01] Frederick Weiss: [00:16:01] the
[00:16:01] Joey deVilla: [00:16:01] because
[00:16:07] Nice tip. Okay. And the reason for that is I used I use this for research
[00:16:29] So I figured I should do my research. I should find out who is the same,
[00:16:54] And Sam let’s see, he’s now head of developer relations.
[00:17:26] So it was really handy. So yes big, debt of gratitude to the thunder
[00:17:35] Frederick Weiss: [00:17:35] I tell a
[00:18:03] Joey deVilla: [00:18:03] Okay.
[00:18:29] And talk to them about a couple of things. One of which is programming
[00:18:53] Ah that’s that, that, that sort of thing. And it’s and it is both
[00:19:28] That sort of thing, but it’s something that you don’t do under
[00:19:53] Instead you go to home Depot and you buy a standardized door. And ideally
[00:20:20] Yeah. That is the same day. That is the same deal with Auth0. We are using
[00:20:47] You can worry about what the main thing your application does. Yeah.
[00:20:55] Frederick Weiss: [00:20:55] Yeah,
[00:21:13] And, then being able to depend on that and even more validity to the, to
[00:21:35] Joey deVilla: [00:21:35] It’s
[00:21:40] Frederick Weiss: [00:21:40] What
[00:21:44] Joey deVilla: [00:21:44] Okay.
[00:21:50] Frederick Weiss: [00:21:50] They,
[00:21:53] Joey deVilla: [00:21:53] it’s
[00:21:58] fast. The love. Okay both there is a company called Okta and they are a
[00:22:26] In fact they aren’t in. I mean they’re real bread and butter
[00:22:56] So there are these large fortune 500 fortune, two 50 fortune 100 companies
[00:23:25] Whereas OD zero on the other hand basically is going after milkers, who
[00:24:09] Okay. Gotcha.
[00:24:10] Frederick Weiss: [00:24:10] I was
[00:24:18] Joey deVilla: [00:24:18] That’s
[00:24:20] Frederick Weiss: [00:24:20] you have
[00:24:34] Serve all these different levels of clients from what you said with the
[00:24:46] Joey deVilla: [00:24:46] Yeah. And
[00:25:03] And our sales teams will take a look and go, you know what? Our buddy here
[00:25:25] Or on the other hand, somebody is going to go, you know what you need. You
[00:25:44] Frederick Weiss: [00:25:44] but no, I
[00:25:55] Is there very advantageous things that come along with this, where they
[00:26:07] Joey deVilla: [00:26:07] right? Yeah.
[00:26:18] It’s like going to Amazon and suddenly finding double the page, double
[00:26:24] Frederick Weiss: [00:26:24] Wow.
[00:26:42] Joey deVilla: [00:26:42] gather,
[00:26:54] And a lot of that re a lot of that requires a lot of that just requires a
[00:27:23] Earlier today we had a joint show off your projects. Show off your
[00:27:46] Yeah. And we’re, just beginning, we’re just beginning to get to
[00:28:10] I knew him back from his Bismark days at Microsoft when I was a developer
[00:28:20] Frederick Weiss: [00:28:20] did my
[00:28:26] Joey deVilla: [00:28:26] Oh, yeah.
[00:28:38] And actually it was the last Zune, the Zune HD, the one with a windows
[00:28:55] And it turns out it was already in the works.
[00:28:58] Frederick Weiss: [00:28:58] Isn’t
[00:29:01] Joey deVilla: [00:29:01] That, that,
[00:29:23] Sure, Yeah. That, that’s the way. Yeah. So yeah. So I am sure there
[00:29:48] Every, every day is going to be a little bit of a surprise. I don’t
[00:30:04] Frederick Weiss: [00:30:04] Are you
[00:30:08] Did you get your Tuk two vaccines and what flavor did you get? You get a
[00:30:14] Joey deVilla: [00:30:14] Pfizer? Yes,
[00:30:46] Bendix it’s the air force who are helping hustle people from from
[00:31:06] And they were quite efficient. If it weren’t for, yeah, like the
[00:31:27] The parking was a time-consuming thing.
[00:31:31] Frederick Weiss: [00:31:31] Yeah. I
[00:31:48] They were very professional. They got me in and out like that. It was the
[00:32:07] I’m two weeks in. I’m still scared to go out in public, even
[00:32:24] Joey deVilla: [00:32:24] know.
[00:32:28] You play D and D
[00:32:30] Frederick Weiss: [00:32:30] I know of
[00:32:34] Joey deVilla: [00:32:34] You have
[00:32:37] Frederick Weiss: [00:32:37] have a
[00:32:44] Joey deVilla: [00:32:44] Okay. So
[00:33:10] That’s rolling. A one, any D and D player knows sooner or later
[00:33:17] Frederick Weiss: [00:33:17] why
[00:33:20] Joey deVilla: [00:33:20] 5%. So
[00:33:39] There is Dr. Fowchee and the rest of the CDC and I have an additional
[00:33:58] Frederick Weiss: [00:33:58] Your
[00:34:03] Joey deVilla: [00:34:03] So yeah. All
[00:34:31] They were actually both in St. Pete. The new the new doc Ford’s the
[00:34:59] And that’s about it holding off until I’m holding off. But I
[00:35:19] Outdoors is a meetup where my wife and I run coders, creatives and craft
[00:35:44] Frederick Weiss: [00:35:44] I, hope
[00:36:15] You it’s, a thing, I guess it, it just progressively makes sense as
[00:36:36] Can you give me some tips, some ideas to help me improve my career journey
[00:36:49] Joey deVilla: [00:36:49] Okay.
[00:36:58] Frederick Weiss: [00:36:58] I love
[00:37:00] Joey deVilla: [00:37:00] right. And I
[00:37:28] Let’s let’s do a little bit of experimenting. Let’s see.
[00:37:56] It comes, disguised in all sorts. It comes disguised as all sorts of
[00:38:38] I’ve got to use the standard, or I’ve got to use the Canadian ism.
[00:39:01] Because you’re doing some development work, right? Yeah. All right.
[00:39:07] Frederick Weiss: [00:39:07] bit of a
[00:39:11] Joey deVilla: [00:39:11] cetera, et
[00:39:29] Yeah, 2000. It’s actually the newest of the mainstream languages,
[00:39:58] Yeah, that’s right. Ruby 1995 and Python the super hot language. 1991.
[00:40:26] Yeah, but no, that’s funny. Yeah. Talking about lately are these is
[00:40:53] Lessons learned from programming in the eighties. And a lot of them are
[00:41:23] Yeah. So then these nineties languages are carrying a lot of baggage of
[00:41:43] Simple. Yeah, simple C plus syntax. That is the only time you’re ever
[00:42:06] You can use the really well as object oriented programming languages or
[00:42:25] Let’s see. Now they provide some declarative interfaces. A lot of them
[00:42:46] It causes lots of problems. That’s what optionals are there for. Yeah,
[00:43:06] Frederick Weiss: [00:43:06]
[00:43:08] Yeah, there you
[00:43:09] Joey deVilla: [00:43:09] go. Some
[00:43:34] What, if you could treat the network as a data type and that and
[00:43:50] You have to get to fire up the modem and make the modem sound like
[00:43:54] Frederick Weiss: [00:43:54] you to
[00:43:58] Joey deVilla: [00:43:58] Yeah. And in
[00:44:10] Frederick Weiss: [00:44:10]
[00:44:12] Joey deVilla: [00:44:12] While they
[00:44:16] Frederick Weiss: [00:44:16] awesome.
[00:44:27] Joey deVilla: [00:44:27] I have
[00:44:30] Frederick Weiss: [00:44:30] Oh, you
[00:44:43] Joey deVilla: [00:44:43] able to,
[00:44:46] Yeah. Before hacking, there was something called freaking P H R E a K I N
[00:45:20] So John Draper tries, he makes himself the operator gives himself all
[00:45:32] Frederick Weiss: [00:45:32]
[00:45:44] Todd Willoughby is asking for any R&D books that you could recommend
[00:45:59] Joey deVilla: [00:45:59] books,
[00:46:21] But my last name is Paul. Yeah. P O L Y a. Okay. The classic book called
[00:46:47] At the very least what it does is it teaches you an approach to problem
[00:47:09] He’s written a whole bunch of stuff about the way engineers think, and
[00:47:32] Taking what we know of science or what we generally know and finding a way
[00:47:52] Frederick Weiss: [00:47:52] All
[00:47:52] We’ll find that we’ll put a link in the show notes then. Yeah. I
[00:48:15] I’m so passionate about this, whether it’s a new technology or old
[00:48:29] Joey deVilla: [00:48:29] yeah. And
[00:48:51] Just because you know what it is it works on all sorts of platforms. Like
[00:49:21] What I mean by that is that generally what I’m trying to do is I’m
[00:49:51] And it’s the same way where an investor would go, yes, 70% in mutual
[00:50:15] Why not? 2021. Yeah, exactly. That was, not on my 20, 21 bingo card, but
[00:50:38] Frederick Weiss: [00:50:38] the link.
[00:50:40] Hey we’re getting close to the end and I want to get to our next
[00:50:51] You have been getting, obviously you’re the accordion guy, but now
[00:51:03] Joey deVilla: [00:51:03] us actually.
[00:51:32] Oh, sorry. Yeah, it was terrible. I did one last performance and yeah.
[00:51:55] They were Frankensteiny and yeah, they were the goth. Yeah. Yeah. They
[00:52:17] And they, soon as they said, they basically said, here’s your
[00:52:37] Take it, you play it. I said, okay. So that’s how I ended up taking it
[00:53:02] Oh, there we go. Beautiful. It’s right behind me. Here. It is an
[00:53:25] And yeah, I do. And yeah, I am working on it. I am working on playing some
[00:53:49] Every keyboard manufacturer who makes an accord mace has an arranger kind
[00:54:06] Frederick Weiss: [00:54:06] Let me
[00:54:07] Joey deVilla: [00:54:07] Taylor Swift
[00:54:08] Yeah, exactly. So you’re all
[00:54:11] Frederick Weiss: [00:54:11] let’s
[00:54:12] Joey deVilla: [00:54:12] play,
[00:54:13] something. A quickly playing the song of the moment or I’ll play the
[00:54:19] Frederick Weiss: [00:54:19] Yes,
[00:54:29] Joey deVilla: [00:54:29] Let’s
[00:54:41] Is that coming across? I don’t, yeah, we can hear it perfectly, but
[00:54:54] Oh, nice. It’s close. There’s the real part is actually,
[00:55:08] yeah. So I’ve been having fun with that. I’m going to have to
[00:55:15] Frederick Weiss: [00:55:15] Yes,
[00:55:34] I see a pattern here. Then, Oh, LinkedIn, Joey Davila. The global nerdery
[00:55:49] Joey deVilla: [00:55:49] Okay. Global
[00:55:56] The name was randomly determined by a program that I wrote and two cows
[00:56:17] Yeah. And I tested my own app by going, I need a name for my tech site. I
[00:56:43] W doesn’t have characters like sniper Wolf and I was a global nerdy.
[00:56:52] Frederick Weiss: [00:56:52]
[00:56:53] Joey deVilla: [00:56:53] Yeah. So I
[00:57:17] Currently. The list is for online events that have some kind of online
[00:57:46] Yeah. So that’s basically, what that blog is about. It’s trying to
[00:57:53] Frederick Weiss: [00:57:53] I love
[00:58:00] Joey deVilla: [00:58:00] 2006 and the
[00:58:07] Oh, that’s
[00:58:08] Frederick Weiss: [00:58:08] awesome.
[00:58:19] Words of wisdom. Joey, I want to ask you at, the end here, if you could
[00:58:30] Joey deVilla: [00:58:30] yours. Okay.
[00:58:57] And now think of the current plate that we’re under and how it
[00:59:35] Its weight distribution is all wrong. It’s wing sizes, all wrong.
[00:59:47] Frederick Weiss: [00:59:47] awesome.
[00:59:59] Hopefully, we’ll be able to see you in the future, in the flesh at the
[01:00:13] Joey deVilla: [01:00:13] great.
[01:00:14] Joey deVilla: [01:00:14] All right,
[01:00:17] Frederick Weiss: [01:00:17] Thank
[01:00:23] Thank you so much, everybody for watching. Sincerely appreciate it. And
