Lost in Lambduhhs

If you only ever listen to one podcast of mine, make it this. It's soooooo good ya'll. I still got my warm and fuzzies. Get ready to get up in your feels. This is some profound stuff and it’s not just hash-map hobbits ya’ll. Gratitude, suffering, growth, trauma, cats, hierarchy and coersion, toxic techbros, dolphin communication, the Clouncil, giving back to the community, cats and soo much more. There’s a bit of darker section that I should warn you about starting from minute 35-40.

Here are some links mentioned:

Had a blast being interviewed on the Functional Geekery Podcast! Here are some show notes:

Since meeting at the conj a couple years ago, Paula has been a supportive friend and mentor of mine so I was delighted to have her on. Join us as we talk about her recent contributions to clojure, swimming as meditation, music as a hobby and her remorse (https://github.com/quoll/remorse).  

Yukkin it up with some buddies! Yet again I crash the Defn Podcast party- and let me tell you a PARTY it is. This is a crosspost and was recorded a month or two ago while I was on the road traveling through CA. [for some context] At the time of recording I was posted up in a sorry excuse for a hotel room with SHAMEFULLY SLOW internet in lovely(?) Silicon Valley, CA. We talkin mentorship, music!, web-development, react native with Krell vs reactjs, tailwind, how to use STORYBOOK to quickly dev components, the experiences of working at vouch.io and so much more!! Enjoy!!!

In one of my favorite ways to find people, I (well, Ray from Defn Podcast) came across Kira sharing some clojure lovin thoughts on that little bird app. Hear our soothing voices talk a little bit of shit on javascript, a lot a bit a shit on ego driven development, the importance of work life balance, how to pull off digital nomad life, spec, testing and so much more! This episode was initially recorded a month or two ago (hey post processing is hard!) so fair warning some of the covid related thoughts are a bit out of date.

YASSS, MY MAN! This is one for the history books, my friends. I got to chat with one of my favorite clojureverse role models of all time: Eric Normand!!  

Personally, I credit his instructional work with the basis of my entry into the clojureverse, and I know I'm not the only one.  ENJOY!

Hey Friends, its been a minute! I produced this episode on the road, just in time for StrangeLoop! (which was an amazing time!) Thank you to Daniel Glauser who was a heckin great guest host to help me create this masterpiece.

I love acting as a platform for other people's awesome ideas and words but in this episode we get to know me a little bit more intimately as use this opportunity to speak my mind about some of the gender issues facing our industry. I promise, it's actually a really fun time :) Some things we are thinking about:

How do we get more diversity into the tech world?

How do we encourage these valuable groups of people to trickle into some of the more "niche" sections of tech?

How can having these different perspectives add to your team?

I don't pretend to have all the answers but starting the conversation is the first step, wouldn't you say?

CROSSOVER ! Collaboration mob cast alert! Ya'll I had way too much fun crashing "The Defn Podcast"- a veteran bringer of clojure content to your earholes. We mob interview Will Acton AKA lilactown about his ska t-shirt, BJJ, music, how he found the light of clj(s), react interop, his libraries helix and hx (and how they fit into reagent!). All the while keeping the constant stream of bad jokes and what is objectively probably way too much laughing for a "tech" podcast- but hey, hopefully you learn something!!! 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f9K9ry9PPe4&t=1815s Heres a presentation Will gave about Helix that answers a bunch of common questions.
