Episode 94 - Losing your confidence Sep 10, 2018

Show notes

In this episode I wanted to talk about a topic which I think a lot of developers suffer with at some point in their career, especialy those who are always rivng to better than they were yesterday, and that is losing your confidence as a developer.

I personally beleive it is tightly linked with Imposter syndrome and can be triggered in many ways, it can have an affect on your personal and your professional life a like.

Episode93 - JetBrains Rider Sep 03, 2018

Show notes

In this episode we talk with Matt Ellis about the cross platform IDE Rider from JetBrains.

Matt is a developer slash developer advocate at JetBrains, he has spent over 20 years shipping software in various industries and currently works with IDEs and development tools, having fun with abstract syntax trees and source code analysis.

He has worked on several open source projects, with a heavy leaning towards plugins for JetBrains tools, from something useful, like adding xunit.net test runner support to ReSharper, to something less useful, such as Clippy for ReSharper. Yes, really. His current favourite side project is the Unity support in Rider.

Episode 88 - Having an Opinion Jul 30, 2018

Show notes

In this episode I wanted to discuss having an opinion, what one is, and why you should keep it to yourself at times.

As developers we are opinonated by nature, we are surrounded by them every day, even the technology we use is opinionated, but do you even know what an opinion is? most confuse opinion with fact.

There are two kinds of opinions and we dicuss those today.

Episode 87 - Security in IoT Jul 23, 2018

Show notes

In this episode we speak to Stuart Mitchell about security in IoT.

http://cynicaldeveloper.com/podcast/87/

Stuart Mitchell is the CEO of the IoT start-up mokanix, which is a Tata Communications business incubated in the company’s ‘Shape the Future’ programme.

The inspiration for mokanix came from wondering why mobile operators didn’t allow access to some of their core control functionality via easy-to-use APIs.

The venture has been established to see what us software developers could make given greater control and security on their mobile data connections.

Stuart is an industry veteran and innovator.

His career in wireless telecommunications spans over 20 years during which time he has worked in a variety of cutting-edge vendors: both large corporates and start-ups.

His experience is as diverse as radio paging and internet security solutions and Stuart worked at the forefront of both VOIP and photo messaging: both of which we take for granted today.

Stuart started his career as a broadcast engineer and still has a passion for playing and listening to music and podcasts.

He is usually found in airport lounges or speaking to customers while walking his over-enthusiastic dog in the fields near where he lives.

For some reason us techies have some kind of mental ad blocker in our heads when it comes to talking to about technical stuff to non technical people.

And I'll admit it can be hard to talk about such technical things in a way the average person can understand, I'm not going to say normal person as well what is normal?

But anyway, checkout this weeks episode for some quick tips on how to talk to those nontechnical folks.
