Software Developers Journey

Rob Allen is a software consultant and developer with many years experience and writes code in PHP, Swift and other interesting languages. He leads Slim Framework's development team and contributes to Apache OpenWhisk and other open source projects. Rob is a published author and based in the UK where he runs Nineteen Feet Limited, focussing on API development, training and consultancy. In his spare time, Rob blogs at akrabat.com and can often be seen with a camera in his hand.

Rob briefly told us about his studies and then we moved over to his favorite topics: serverless computing, open-source development and communication!

Emily is a Technical Agile Coach and a very experienced one. In her career, she has embodied pretty much all the positions our industry has to offer and built a polyglott bagage that definitely makes me blush... from Python and Scala to Ruby and C++. Emily is the author of "the Coding Dojo Handbook", a few video classes on Pluralsight and she also regularly speaks at international conferences and panels with none other than "Robert C. Martin".

Emily told us her story. How she discovered programming and eased into it. How she came to relocate to Sweden and embraced the swedish work-life-balance. Finally Emily told us how she discovered and grew into the XP community, discovered Coding Dojos and became an advocate of technical agile coaching herself.

Richard Rodger was co-founder and CEO of his previous company, nearForm, where he helped take the company from scratch to an annual turnover of €17 million. Previously, he was CTO of FeedHenry, a mobile application platform provider that was acquired by RedHat for €63.5m in 2014. For several years, Richard has been an active member and influencer of the open source software (OSS) community. He is the creator and maintainer of senecajs.org, a microservices framework for Node.js. Richard is also the host of the monthly Dublin Microservices meetup in Ireland. Richard writes a weekly column in the Irish Independent newspaper. His latest book, The Tao of Microservices, was published by Manning in 2018.

Together, we talked about how detours sometimes do lead you exactly where you need to be. We touched on learning software engineering with Python before jumping onto the crazy Javascript Bandwaggon. And we finally discussed a different way of looking at microservices.

She enjoys following the latest developments in machine learning, natural language processing, data privacy and ethics and workflow automation infrastructure. Together we first talked about her journey from journalism to software development. We then drifted toward her mentor and her willingness to give back to the communities. We spoke about diversity and finally tackled the topic of security and privacy.

In this episode I talk to Mario Rogic. Mario is a technology aficionado with a particular love for the web. Among many other things, Mario believes technology should make life simple and joyful, and he enjoys being able to prove so. He lives in London, works as Head of Technology for locomote.com and he organises and runs the Elm London Meetups. 

We first discussed about public speaking and how it helps us prepare content and communicate better in our everyday life. And of course, Mario described how he comes up with new topics to speak about. We then talked about ELM, what it is, how Mario came to being so fond of ELM and why you should jump on the bandwagon as well. Finally Mario gave us two very profound advices to progress on our careers: "absorbe as much as you can" and "communicate as much as you can".

Adrian is a supporter of Deliberate Practice, experiments, and experiental learning. In 2016 he published a book about hosting and facilitating a coderetreat, a one-day deliberate practice concept for programming. We touched on the topics of learning theory and university curriculum. We spoke about polyglot programing, about full stack development and deliberate practices. We finally touched on abstractions and toolbelts without fogetting philosophy!
