OffHeap 65. Helping your Boss Help You

September 21, 2021 Freddy Guime Career, Conference, Interviews 0 Comments

Allright, on this OffHeap Episode, we invited no other than @kenkousen to talk us about his new book. Helping your Boss Help You! As most of us are really underlings and have managers that we report to, Ken walk us through the things that he discovered work well (and shared stories of what didn’t work so well) in a full-on, completely stuffed episode of OffHeap.

We also dive into some of our tech news around Project Loom and Apple Surveillance. All in all, a very interesting, possibly life-changing episode of OffHeap

OffHeap 64. Autobots…Rollout to the Bar!

September 8, 2021 Freddy Guime API, Open Source 0 Comments

Color me jealous! Most of the OffHeap crew (excepting me, Freddy) went back to our roots, and recorded Java Off Heap at the RoundHouse! (The local bar, where Episode 1 was recorded!). It was a great opportunity to be mostly zoom-less and let the conversation flow whenever it wants to flow!

In addition we got Cedric Hurst (@divideby0) to join us there! In all an interesting evening, with libations, Boston Dynamics Acquisition, a deep discussion on the “Right to Repair”, and the implications of GitHub Copilot (the auto-filler AI-powered, FOSS trained helper) on this field!
