bear: CircleCI mentioned at http://pythontesting.net/podcast/testing-in-startups-joe-stump-sprintly/ |
| 18:31 |
|
bear |
thanks! |
| 18:32 |
|
bear |
wow - I really need to refresh my podcast listening |
| 18:33 |
|
pdurbin |
Sprintly itself sounds kinda neat: Agile issue tracking - sprint.ly - http://sprint.ly |
| 18:36 |
|
pdurbin |
heh. "someday the black box will, like, poop that thing out, and I'll have it" ~24:00 |
| 18:37 |
|
bear |
:) |
| 18:55 |

pdurbin |
bear: if you listen, I'd be curious to hear your take on his "chaotic hacker" concept ~38:00 |
| 18:55 |
|
bear |
i'm 17 minutes in |
| 18:55 |
|
pdurbin |
sweet |
| 19:00 |
|
pdurbin |
almost time to pick up my kid and her friend from http://girlhackathon.com |
| 19:00 |
|
bear |
nice! |
| 19:02 |
|
pdurbin |
hopefully in the future the iPad will be used for more than just Bread Kittens :) |
| 19:03 |
|
bear |
i'm always looking for good coding tools for an iPad |
| 19:04 |
|
pdurbin |
Hopscotch is well worth checking out. |
| 19:06 |
|
bear |
"chaotic mess in the middle" |
| 19:22 |
|
bear |
that chaotic hacker concept is odd - sounds like a new label for the old school concept of self starter + passionate for code |
| 20:08 |
|
pdurbin |
bear: I understand what he's driving at but he should probably be careful not to discriminate against single parents and other busy people |
| 20:08 |
|
bear |
yea, he was definitely biased towards younger folk |
| 20:09 |
|
bear |
heck, github wasn't even around during my busiest phase of my coding career |
| 20:13 |
|
pdurbin |
I mean, I get what he's saying. He likes hackers. Don't we all. |
| 20:16 |
|
bear |
he is probably a good example of the startup founder bias towards young people |
| 20:16 |
|
bear |
doesn't consider anything except someone who has "passion" which is code for "I can get them to code for 90+ hours and they will like it" |
| 20:22 |
|
pdurbin |
yeah, reminds me of https://medium.freecodecamp.com/being-a-developer-after-40-3c5dd112210c#.ol98dgggf |
| 20:23 |
|
* bear |
nods |
| 20:23 |
|
bear |
that was a good read |
| 20:23 |
|
pdurbin |
especially the open workspace stuff :) |
| 20:23 |
|
bear |
oh my - yes! |
| 20:24 |
|
pdurbin |
bear: I'm not going to guess how many hours Joe Stump expects people to work per day. It's hard to tell. It seems like he's trying to be a good manager. I understand what he means about not being able to teach work ethic. |
| 20:25 |
|
bear |
true, I didn't mean to imply that Joe *was* that type of manager - just the feeling I got |
| 20:25 |
|
bear |
and totally agree with the work ethic part - i've inherited team members where you could tell that the prior manage just didn't even think about that aspect of someone's personality |
| 20:59 |
|
pdurbin |
yeah |
| 20:59 |
|
pdurbin |
not that I've ever been much of a manager |
| 21:58 |
|
pdurbin |
oh, and the girls enjoyed the Hopscotch hackathon. especially because there were Oreos. they said they'd go again next year |
| 21:59 |
|
pdurbin |
I heard that a Hopscotch developer was there, but the kids were ready to go so I didn't meet anyone. Not even the organizers, who seemed really nice over email. |
| 22:03 |
|
pdurbin |
bear: I don't know what you mean by "coding tools for iPad" ... Hopscotch is kind of like Scratch but you author the games or apps or whatever right on the iPad itself |
| 22:04 |
|
bear |
kinda that - looking for fun coding environments that work on the ipad |
| 22:04 |
|
bear |
scratch, logo, even python if possible |
| 22:04 |
|
pdurbin |
the friend's mom and I were wondering what Hopscotch's funding model is... it's a free app |
| 22:05 |
|
bear |
no ads? |
| 22:09 |
|
pdurbin |
I don't think so, but I haven't spent much time in the app. |
| 22:09 |
|
pdurbin |
looks like they're venture backed: http://techcrunch.com/2014/05/08/hopscotch-seed/ |
| 22:10 |
|
pdurbin |
bear: android rather than ipad but I'm a huge fan of http://appinventor.mit.edu |
| 22:10 |
|
bear |
cool |
| 22:11 |
|
pdurbin |
oh, and I just tweeted about that podcast episode: https://twitter.com/philipdurbin/status/726893351983828993 |
| 22:13 |
|
bear |
cool - just retweeted it |
| 22:18 |
|
pdurbin |
I'm hearing about https://uva.onlinejudge.org for the first time. It's like topcoder, I guess. |
| 22:20 |
|
bear |
cool, eu based school running it from the looks of it |
| 22:21 |
|
pdurbin |
yeah, according to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UVa_Online_Judge |
| 22:22 |
|
pdurbin |
bear: now I'm curious if you have any podcast recommendations for me |
| 22:22 |
|
bear |
that's part of my comment from above - all of mine are like 2 or 3 yrs old |
| 22:22 |
|
bear |
I listen to podcasts only when someone pings me about a specific episode |
| 22:22 |
|
pdurbin |
ah, ok |
| 22:24 |
|
bear |
the only one I listen to on a regular basis is https://theshipshow.com |
| 22:24 |
|
pdurbin |
ah, yeah, that's a good one |
| 22:27 |
|
pdurbin |
I was slightly weirded out recently by https://twitter.com/jpaulreed/status/721468953730490372 |
| 22:42 |
|
pdurbin |
bear: I wonder if you'd like http://datadrivensecurity.info |
| 22:43 |
|
* bear |
adds it to the queue |
| 23:25 |
|
pdurbin |
there are a lot of podcasts like that where I listen to one episode and it doesn't immediately grab me but I stay subscribed just in case |
| 23:25 |
|
pdurbin |
and I tell myself I'll listen to some more episodes to get a better idea of it |
| 23:26 |
|
bear |
that was my "downfall" also - the list ended up being too long and I kept getting notified for podcasts that I just wasn't going to listen to |
| 23:27 |
|
pdurbin |
up until about a year ago there were a number of podcasts for which I never missed an episode. it was too much. now I pick and choose much more on a per-episode level |
| 23:30 |
|
pdurbin |
I wish more conference talks were available in a audio podcast feed. |
