Code And Coffee

I’ve always admired something that my friend @CarinMeier mentioned that they do down in Cincinnati (or at least they used to do it anyway).  That’s  a once-monthly “Code And Coffee” where people would get together at a local coffee shop to drink coffee and learn about some interesting topic.

I’m going to be at the Biggby Coffee in Clawson (on 14 Mile) on Wednesday May 3, 2017 at 7 am.  If you’re reading this blog post consider yourself invited to join me for some coffee, some shop talk, and likely some coding.  If you want to join, feel free. People who know me will probably guess that I’m likely to talk about functional programming but honestly I’m willing to talk about almost anything technology related.  If you do decide to join, bring a laptop.

How I Blew That Interview

  • They said they wanted a “Rock Star” developer but I think they got upset when I trashed the hotel room they had me put up in.
  • They said they wanted a “Rock Star” developer but you should have seen the expression on the face of the interviewer when I smashed my guitar on his desk.
  • They said they wanted a “Ninja” developer but then they insisted that I remove my black cowl during the interview.
  • They said they wanted a “Ninja” developer but I’m pretty sure they got a bit upset having to dig my throwing stars out of the paneling.
  • They said they wanted a “Rock Star” developer but I’m pretty sure I lost them about halfway through my twenty minute drum solo.
