In this episode we are joined by A. Jesse Jiryu Davis, Python contributor and staff engineer at MongoDB. It’s a fun, insightful conversation touching on the dearth of mentorship in tech, differences in mindset when contracting vs. being on staff, the subtle and evolving effectiveness of long-lived teams, and the effect of Jesse’s Zen Buddhist practice on his approach to engineering.
Recorded Sept. 22, 2017
