Connell, a UK-based .NET developer and senior software engineer at Stack Overflow, tells the home team about his path to software development via text-based RPGs, his work on Stack Overflow’s Community Enablement team, why Agile gets so much hate, and what he’s learned giving conference talks to developers.
Episode notes:
ICYMI, listen to our episode with Agile pioneer Jim Highsmith: The meeting that changed how we build software (Ep. 579).
Explore Connell’s website or his talks.
Connell will be speaking at DDD East Midlands again this year: October 7, 2023 (with apologies to our British listeners for the date format).
He’s also on GitHub, Twitter, and Stack Overflow (naturally).
A very special Lifeboat badge is awarded to Connell for answering his own question: Why does this SelectMany perform several SQL queries instead of a single join?.
