Software Developers Journey

In this episode, I interviewed Anne Cahalan. Anne is an iOS developer at Detroit Labs, where she is constantly delighted by the niftiness of Swift. Anne told us her story. From the Bootcamp she went to and the apprenticeship program she followed, up to her "moving out" of "Junior-Developerness" and all its implications. We finally touched on the topic of mid-career development, which was the topic of her talk at the London SPA-Conference where we met.

In this episode I talk with Daniel Marbach, software engineer, architect, evangelist, family man, father, public speaker and so much more. We touched on how his first failure shaped his career and made him much stronger. We discussed the remote-ness of his current company and how this makes them a very "particular" (pun intended) company. We talked about mentoring and how it helps Daniel become a bit better everyday. Finally we talked about hiring for culture, and how it is done at the company Daniel is working for: Particular Software.

The guest this week is Laura Savino. Laura is a freelance iOS developer whose non-tech passions include foreign languages and teaching. We started talking about languages, how we learn them, and how kids books could help us there. We diverged toward public speaking and how you structure a talk. We finally touched on being on stage, playing music and how this relates to public speaking. Note: Skype unfortunately had a couple hiccups during the call. I managed to edit most of them. Two moments had to remain as not to hinder the understanding though.

In this episode I talk to Ivo Vutov, Consultant Developer for Microsoft in Germany. Ivo shares with us how he started to code, then how he came to working with Microsoft through the Student Partner Program and how he evolved from there. We touched on the new offices of Microsoft in Munich and the effects this revamp had on the teamwork. We spoke about remote work, diversity and accessibility. We flew over selling yourself, applying for a job and much more... 

Note: There were a couple drops during the communication but that shouldn't alter the comprehension.

In this episode I talk to Manuela Rink about her career path. Manu has taken a few roles over her still short career and ended up mixing two worlds that I personally never thought could really match. Let's cut to the chase, Manu is an iOS freak (in a good way ;) ), who is also a developer evangelist at Microsoft. We go over her career, her place at Microsoft and the role of an evangelist. And we finally touched on her work as a female role-model, being on the stage in an - unfortunately - still mainly male industry. Note: I discovered after the recording that my end of the call is pretty low, as well as some weird clicking noise on the beginning of the recording that I could not really remove. Sorry about that.
