MOSE Shorts - 18: Bidets and Decisions


Listen Later

In this segment of the My Open Source Experience podcast, Kelsey Hightower shares his current adventures, which includes a home improvement project.


As Kelsey is now advising startups, rather than working in 9-5 jobs, he highlights the importance to keep your energy and drive, no matter when you retire, and how someone can't stop sharing once they started.


While Kelsey talks about his adventures to install new bidets in his house, he also drives analogies to software development and decision making. Always remember before you start refactoring something:

- You need to be careful to avoid breaking things

- It needs to be backwards compatible

- It needs to look better than before


Kelsey and Phil draw an analogy and describe engineers being somewhere between tradesmen and artists. Can you relate?


But, does Kelsey have any working bidets in his house yet?
