- Technology
A series of interviews with senior programmers, software engineers and, technical architects about the business and craft of delivering software.
Expect topics to include: how to choose technologies, mentoring and managing team members, the process of creating interactive applications, what "enterprise" really means, stories about what sparked our love of technology and whether tabs or spaces is the correct answer (hint: tabs).
Hopefully we'll all learn from the experience and be able to enjoy the experience of engaging in continuous professional development.

Interviews[5] = Jordan Weir - Senior Software Engineer at Riskfuel
Jordan Weir is working at Riskfuel on a machine learning product that seems about ready to massively disrupt the derivatives trading market. He uses kubernetes to run thousands of computer cores against millions of data points to get answers in seconds that take traditional industries days or even weeks to calculate. The value of having competitive intelligence in the world of investing is so great, that the banks and hedge funds are going to be beating down his door in the next couple of years. This stuff is mind-blowing. Not to mention their little side project to capture the business of the European insurance market. Yeah, pretty much the whole thing. Keep an eye out, this is big stuff!

interviews[4] = Mark Ando
Mark Ando and I have worked at the same companies together for years. Some of my most enjoyable memories of coding come from the time when we'd sit together, side by side and work on each other's puzzles. It was so nice to catch up with him and learn some of his wisdom about the importance of friends in the workplace. How to price yourself as a freelancer or an IC employee. How do we care for the team members around us? What can we learn from working in different types of environments... And how we should have sent that guy pizza when he said he'd buy a pizza for 10,000 bitcoin. This was such a fun interview for me and I hope you enjoy it even 1/10th as much as I did.
