Description

In this episode, I talk to Dave Thomas -- co-founder of the Pragmatic Bookshelf, signer of the Agile Manifesto, promoter of Ruby and Elixir, and more! Dave has thought a lot about expertise in software development, and I really enjoyed our conversation -- ranging from his history to our feelings about some of the core concepts in expertise research.

Note: Dave's audio picked up some environmental noise that I was unable to reduce. My apologies!
