We chat with Fred George, handgrenade of software development, live on stage during Øredev 2014. Topics include choosing clients, getting out before you start breaking things, the right ways of changing, the value of methodologies, remote work, gams, languages and more.

This recording exists as good as it is thanks to Stephen Chin of nighthacking.com for providing and masterfully wrangling all the necessary technology.
