Friend of the show Jon Chan, Stack Overflow’s Director of Engineering, Public Platform, joins the home team to talk about burnout: what it is, how to prevent it, and how to recover.
The home team talks about Cassidy’s new role as Head of Developer Experience and Education at Remote, Ceora’s controversial opinion on mac and cheese, and why Gen Z may understand information architecture differently than the rest of us.
Welcome to ISSUE #112 of The Overflow! This newsletter is by developers, for developers, written and curated by the Stack Overflow team and Cassidy Williams. This week: the importance of psychological safety, dynamic programming for beginners, and a ridiculous island where crypto-bulls can relax free from skeptics and naysayers.
The home team welcomes its newest member, Stack Overflow’s brand-new technical advocate, Matt Kiernander! They chat about what tools are top-of-mind when they get work done and the best font for live-streaming code.
Today's episode is a fascinating discussion with Mitchell Hashimoto, cofounder of HashiCorp, who recently returned to the role of independent contributor after stints as both CEO and CTO. We talk about his journey learning to write software, how he came up with the idea for Terraform, and why he prefers slinging code to executive roles.
Analyst David Gibson sat down with James Morgan and Michael “d00d” Parkins, co-leads of Progressive’s Open Source Office, to talk about how Progressive is building a culture of collaboration and keeping cross-functional teams connected.
Ben, Ryan, Cassidy, and Ceora talk about Cryptoland, “the first physical crypto island,” which has drawn fyre (oops, fire) from people trying to figure out whether it’s a real project, a parody, or a scam.
On this episode, we talk to John Myers, CTO and cofounder of Gretel, a company that provides synthetic data for training machine learning models without exposing any of their customers personally identifiable information.
One of our most loved traditions is Stack Gives Back. Every year since 2009, we've surveyed Stack Exchange moderators about charities they would like to support and then donated $100 on behalf of each moderator.
