Data Replication Ain't Easy: Interview With Josh Hicks of Jumpmind
Josh Hicks of Jumpmind knows a thing or two about just how complicated data replication can get.
On the surface, it's a simple problem. Data in one spot needs to get to another spot. Add a new location in? No problem.
... But it gets complicated FAST, and that's a problem they solve at Jumpmind.
Big thanks to Josh for sharing his career journey, featuring AWESOME networking opportunities that really demonstrate just how important it is to keep up those relationships.
College Software Developer - Internship, Apply to Jobs, or Freelance?
This viewer wanted some advice on what direction to focus their attention on while being a developer in college. Lets discuss!
The Reverse Podcast Interview - Interview With Alex Lau
He's BACK!
I felt very fortunate to have Alex Lau, author of Keep Calm and Code On, back on the channel for an interview... But with a twist!
We did a bit more of a grab-bag style where we jumped between some different topics AND I was on the receiving end of the interview for some of them!
Thanks so much for your time, Alex! Always a great conversation.
Does Software Documentation SUCK or... Is It Just Me?
This viewer messaged in to ask about documentation in software development. Why is some of it so bad? Is it their fault for not understanding it? Let's discuss!
Me vs The Other New Guy - Unspoken Developer Competition
This viewer submitted a topic to discuss: it feels like there's an unspoken competition between them and the other new developer. How should they approach this? How can they work on expectations with their manager?
I'm only a software tester and I HATE myself now
This viewer left an interesting comment that I wanted to talk through... LeetCode? *ONLY* a tester? Are things really that bad, or are there some great lessons to extract from this situation?
From Frying Chicken to This Dot Labs - Career Stories With Danny Thompson and Rob Ocel
In this episode, I sit down with Danny Thompson and Rob Ocel from This Dot Labs -- two developers with wildly different paths into tech. Rob followed the traditional route: tinkering with QBasic as a kid, and earning degrees in computer and software engineering.
Danny’s journey couldn’t be more different! He spent over a decade working multiple jobs, including frying chicken at a gas station, before discovering FreeCodeCamp and realizing he didn’t need permission to pursue a career in tech.
If you’ve ever doubted your path or wondered whether you belong in tech, this one is for you!
I don't have time to skill up and work on projects as a developer
This viewer wanted to know how to navigate not having extra time outside of work to skill up and dig into side projects. They usually do, but due to some life situations, that's not currently the case. What does that mean for their new role they're in?
