Episode description
This time out we are blessed by the presence of Joël Perras, PHP developer extraordinaire and Fictive Kin brosef of Ed. We explore Joël’s rags-to-riches story: a young academic schlepping coffee and 44oz soft drinks at a gas station, where he’s discovered by a grizzled dev team manager in need of Java skills. From there it’s been a whirlwind of web sites, programming languages, and more ops than you can shake a stick at.
Actually I was sleepy and wasn’t really listening for the first half-hour. I bet it’s good though.
Feel free to hit us up on Twitter at @dev_hell or harass Ed and Chris directly.
