This week’s guest is technologist and “human dev aggregator” Dion Almaer (@dalmaer). Founder of Ajaxian.com and the just-launched FunctionSource, he has worked at companies such as Google (where he worked with Kevin), Mozilla, and Palm. He is now working at a new startup called Set Direction with his long term business partner Ben Galbraith.

In this episode, Dion reveals the shocking truth he has discovered from years of tummeling programmers: code is produced by humans. Dion talks with Deb and Kevin (Heather is performing at a gig)about communities and conflicts among coders, Twitter gossip, controlling our data, online “enchantment,” and more.
