Decoded Chats – first edition live on the Decoded Blog

Tuesday, October 18th, 2016 at 6:02 pm

Over the last few weeks I was busy recording interviews with different exciting people of the web. Now I am happy to announce that the first edition of Decoded Chats is live on the new Decoded Blog.

Decoded Chats - Chris interviewing Rob Conery

In this first edition, I’m interviewing Rob Conery about his “Imposter Handbook“. We cover the issues of teaching development, how to deal with a constantly changing work environment and how to tackle diversity and integration.

We’ve got eight more interviews ready and more lined up. Amongst the people I talked to are Sarah Drasner, Monica Dinculescu, Ada-Rose Edwards, Una Kravets and Chris Wilson. The format of Decoded Chats is pretty open: interviews ranging from 15 minutes to 50 minutes about current topics on the web, trends and ideas with the people who came up with them.

Some are recorded in a studio (when I am in Seattle), others are Skype calls and yet others are off-the-cuff recordings at conferences.

Do you know anyone you’d like me to interview? Drop me a line on Twitter @codepo8 and I see what I can do :)
