Today I had the privilege of speaking with Hayden Barnes, a developer advocate for Ubuntu at Canonical. Hayden is known as the Microsoft guy at a Linux company, he founded Pengwin - a WSL distribution, and previously worked as an attorney.

 

- From Law to Linux - Getting into systems programming - Working at Canonical - What is WSL? - WSL compared to WSL2 - Upstream from project to WSL - Future of WSL - Canonical's involvement - Skills for the job - Proudest project - Toughest challenge - Life outside of tech
