Elixir Friends

Matt Wynne joins me in episode 6 of Elixir Friends! We chat about how an English man landed in Canada among draft dodgers, about being a ski bum, skateboarding as we get older, my path from Bolivia to the U.S., and how I got into programming. We also talk about how he got involved with Cucumber, how he's the author of 3 books (mostly 1, he says), the business around Cucumber, and how that team adopted mobbing as a programming technique.

Andrew Ek joins me in the 4th episode of Elixir Friends! I discover his past as poet and professor (and I think we should get his published works), and his present past-time: tennis. We also talk about software consulting being more than just writing code, and we even dive into cognitive load theory!
