DESCRIPTION
Writing music, building guitars and writing software share more similarities than one would imagine at first.
Kevlin Henney, an independent consultant, chats with Dylan Beatttie, creator of the Rockstar programming language, and Hannes Lowette, head of learning & development at Axxes, about the craftsmanship and creativity that is required from them. They showcase Hannes’ self-made guitar, the importance of making decisions at the right point in time or how there isn’t a default for solving problems in either of these domains, but rather a personalized and evolving approach.
