Listen Later

In this episode of Top End Devs, host David Camira is joined by panelists Luke Stutters and John Epperson, along with special guest Jesse Spivak, a senior engineer at Ibotta. Jesse shares his experiences and insights from a challenging project at Ibotta, where he navigated through four critical mistakes. These included choosing the wrong technology, siloing work, falling into premature optimization, and making too many changes at once. Jesse explains how these mistakes jeopardized the project but ultimately led to valuable learning experiences. The conversation also touches on the importance of discussing and learning from mistakes openly, the complexities of transitioning to new technologies, and the significance of making systematic, verified changes. Additionally, they delve into the evolving landscape of developer interviews, aiming to create a more inclusive and positive experience. Join us as we explore the trials, lessons, and growth that come from navigating the highs and lows of software development.
