I now realize that simplification is not fundamentally a technical problem but rather a cultural one. Our nerd culture embraces inhuman levels of complexity. Mastering mind-boggling complexity is our mutant superpower. It is our tribal marker. Complexity is the air we breath, and so it is invisible to us. Simplification will only come from outside this culture. To disrupt programming I first have to reinvent it for a fresh audience of non-programmers.” 44:26 - Technical Matters vs Elitism Andreas Stefik Ruby Rogues Episode #184: We Actually Know About Software Development and Why We Believe It's True with Greg Wilson and Andreas Stefik 47:57 - Making Programming Easier to Learn 51:20 - Team Structures in Academia vs Industry Picks git-standup (Coraline) Craft Conference (Jessica) UtahJS (Chuck) Zoom H6 (Chuck) Ian Leslie: The Sugar Conspiracy (Coraline) The sugar conspiracy (Neil) Treasure Islands: Tax Havens and the Men Who Stole the World by Nicholas Shaxson (Neil)

This week, we’re bringing to you a behind the scenes look at the man behind the mic and the guy who puts out over 5 hours worth of free audio content per week to support the development community: Charles Max Wood. Long-time listener, Thom Parkin, asked Chuck if he would sit down and do an interview with him to describe all the interesting things he’s been up to and his goals for the future. In this interview, Chuck gives listeners a behind-the-scenes look at all of his podcasts, the DevChat.tv platform, RailsClips, his remote conferences and his upcoming book that will focus on tips for getting hired as a developer.  

This episode is from Ara T. Howard’s talk at Rails Remote Conf 2015. You can watch the full, unedited presentation, Program Like You Give a Damn, on YouTube at your convenience.   Check out All Remote Confs for next year’s remote conference lineup! Freelance Remote Conf will run from February 24th-26th. The speaker lineup is all but complete! Ruby Remote Conf will run from March 23rd-25th. Get your tickets or submit a CFP!
