#259 Larysa Visengeriyeva from mind scripts and biases to MLOps

Larysa placed the start of her journey in the country she was born in, the Soviet Union, with her discovery of those books filled with 0s and 1s that she could not understand. Fast forward a few years, and she is hooked by Maths and Computer Science and doesn't want to do anything else. After her Master's degree in Odessa, she moved to Germany and studied again. From then on, we talked about how she pursued a Ph.D., pivoted on the problem she was tackling, and discovered a new field ML-Ops. We discussed the state of ML-Ops, how it is placed in the "Data" and ML problem chain, and how one should go at it.Here are the links from the showhttps://www.twitter.com/visengerhttps://ml-ops.org/https://ml-ops.org/content/phase-zerohttps://ml-ops.org/content/end-to-end-ml-workflowhttps://github.com/visenger/awesome-mlopshttps://women-in-data-ai.tech/https://mlops.community/https://www.linkedin.com/in/larysavisenger/https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/530415.The_Art_of_Doing_Science_and_EngineeringCreditsCover Legends by HoliznaCC0 is licensed CC0 1.0 Universal License.Your host is Timothée (Tim) Bourguignon; more about him at timbourguignon.fr.Gift the podcast a rating on one of the significant platforms https://devjourney.info/subscribePodMatchPodMatch Automatically Matches Ideal Podcast Guests and Hosts For Interviews Digital Disruption with Geoff Nielson Discover how technology is reshaping our lives and livelihoods.Listen on: Apple Podcasts   SpotifySupport the show

#258 Lisa Crispin on a journey to define what quality means

From a trainee reconversion program in the early 80s, Lisa took us on a fantastic testing journey. From discovering Agile before its time, living through highly collaborative Waterfall projects, to embracing XP and being one of the first to challenge the absence of "Testers" in the first installments of the method. Lisa spoke of how she came to write her first book, working with legends of our industry and kept being fascinated by quality.Here are the links from the showhttps://www.twitter.com/lisacrispinhttps://octodon.social/@lisacrispin@mastodon.socialhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/lisa-crispin-88420a/https://lisacrispin.com/https://leanpub.com/agiletesting-condensedhttps://agiletester.cahttps://agiletestingfellow.comCreditsCover Legends by HoliznaCC0 is licensed CC0 1.0 Universal License.Your host is Timothée (Tim) Bourguignon; more about him at timbourguignon.fr.Gift the podcast a rating on one of the significant platforms https://devjourney.info/subscribePodMatchPodMatch Automatically Matches Ideal Podcast Guests and Hosts For Interviews Digital Disruption with Geoff Nielson Discover how technology is reshaping our lives and livelihoods.Listen on: Apple Podcasts   Spotify Inspiring Tech Leaders - The Technology PodcastInterviews with Tech Leaders and insights on the latest emerging technology trends.Listen on: Apple Podcasts   SpotifySupport the show

#257 Emmanuel Gaillot componist, psychotherapist, humanist & programmer

Emmanuel placed the start his journey in the 80s in a computer club. He described how he learned GW-BASIC and became hooked. He told about his love for music and how his parents encouraged him to pursue "real studies." He explained how he went to the USA to study Computer Science, music, and Japanese... and became a theater composer. He discussed his first job as a programmer and being bored (and bad at it) until he discovered eXtremeProgramming. He talked about learning TDD, exploring what became Katas, and creating a coding dojo.  He spoke about finding psychotherapy, becoming a psychotherapist, and much more. This was a wild ride worth every minute.Here are the links from the showhttps://changer-grandir.org/https://mc-mallaret.fr/CreditsCover Legends by HoliznaCC0 is licensed CC0 1.0 Universal License.Your host is Timothée (Tim) Bourguignon; more about him at timbourguignon.fr.Gift the podcast a rating on one of the significant platforms https://devjourney.info/subscribePodMatchPodMatch Automatically Matches Ideal Podcast Guests and Hosts For Interviews Digital Disruption with Geoff Nielson Discover how technology is reshaping our lives and livelihoods.Listen on: Apple Podcasts   Spotify Inspiring Tech Leaders - The Technology PodcastInterviews with Tech Leaders and insights on the latest emerging technology trends.Listen on: Apple Podcasts   SpotifySupport the show

#256 Krisztina Hirth ran away from a boring life

Krisztina placed the start of her journey by writing a few lines of PHP on a website and being hooked. But then we rolled back to hear about her life behind the iron curtain in her home country of Romania. We discussed her first career as a mechanical engineer and how this led her to write her first BASIC lines of code, move to Germany, and start from scratch. We talked about her reconversion and not finding jobs. We spoke about the job she finally found and how this opened her to a world of possibilities and communities. Finally, we discussed architecture, the coding architect, and her current role.Here are the links from the showhttps://mastodon.social/@yellowbrickchttps://yellow-brick-code.org/https://www.linkedin.com/in/christina-hirth-yellowbrickcode/https://virtualddd.com/https://dddeurope.com/CreditsCover Legends by HoliznaCC0 is licensed CC0 1.0 Universal License.Your host is Timothée (Tim) Bourguignon; more about him at timbourguignon.fr.Gift the podcast a rating on one of the significant platforms https://devjourney.info/subscribePodMatchPodMatch Automatically Matches Ideal Podcast Guests and Hosts For Interviews Digital Disruption with Geoff Nielson Discover how technology is reshaping our lives and livelihoods.Listen on: Apple Podcasts   Spotify Inspiring Tech Leaders - The Technology PodcastInterviews with Tech Leaders and insights on the latest emerging technology trends.Listen on: Apple Podcasts   SpotifySupport the show

#255 Tomas Petricek always looking under the covers

Tomas placed the start of his journey in high school, where he was part of a group of friends interested in computers. His interest in "understanding what's under the hood" ignited there. He explained how working in the open, publishing small open-source components got him to "professional development" alongside his university studies. Then we talked about how his interest in transpiling C# to Javascript (before transpiling to JS was cool) led him to F#, which led him to a working relationship with Don Syme (designer of F#), which led him to Cambridge University, etc. We talked about his Ph.D. around context-dependent programming languages and coeffects. We ended on science philosophy, debugging & testing, and how languages are taught nowadays at university.Here are the links from the showhttps://www.twitter.com/tomaspetricekhttps://tomasp.net/https://www.linkedin.com/in/tomaspetricek/https://tomasp.net/coeffects/https://tomasp.net/techdims/http://fsharpconf.com/https://datascienceinfsharp.com/CreditsCover Legends by HoliznaCC0 is licensed CC0 1.0 Universal License.Your host is Timothée (Tim) Bourguignon; more about him at timbourguignon.fr.Gift the podcast a rating on one of the significant platforms https://devjourney.info/subscribePodMatchPodMatch Automatically Matches Ideal Podcast Guests and Hosts For Interviews Digital Disruption with Geoff Nielson Discover how technology is reshaping our lives and livelihoods.Listen on: Apple Podcasts   Spotify Inspiring Tech Leaders - The Technology PodcastInterviews with Tech Leaders and insights on the latest emerging technology trends.Listen on: Apple Podcasts   SpotifySupport the show

#254 Marjorie Aubert from nurturing plants to mob programming

Marjorie placed the start of her journey during her work as an agronomist when she wrote her first R lines of code. She explained how her childhood in southern France brought her to study plants, create a hydroponic startup, work on risk and project management, and slowly become interested in web development. We spoke of her Bootcamp and how she found her first job. We discussed eXtreme-Programming and Mob-Programming, and what it's like to be a newbie in a teaching environment.Here are the links from the showhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/marjorie-aubert-full-stack-developer/CreditsCover Legends by HoliznaCC0 is licensed CC0 1.0 Universal License.Your host is Timothée (Tim) Bourguignon; more about him at timbourguignon.fr.Gift the podcast a rating on one of the significant platforms https://devjourney.info/subscribePodMatchPodMatch Automatically Matches Ideal Podcast Guests and Hosts For Interviews Digital Disruption with Geoff Nielson Discover how technology is reshaping our lives and livelihoods.Listen on: Apple Podcasts   SpotifySupport the show

#253 Mathias Verraes from music to languages and models

Mathias placed the start of his journey with both hands on a TRS-80 computer and no other games to play than a compiler and the BASIC language. But fast forward a few years, we spoke about his music studies, his work creating music for ads and movies, and how programming came back as a hobby, which finally took precedence. We then jumped with both feet into languages and modeling. We spent the rest of the interview talking about interactions and how models serve us programmers and help our domains innovate.Here are the links from the showhttps://www.twitter.com/mathiasverraeshttps://www.linkedin.com/in/mathiasverraes/https://mastodon.social/@mathiasverraeshttps://verraes.net/https://www.aardling.eu/https://2023.dddeurope.com/CreditsCover Legends by HoliznaCC0 is licensed CC0 1.0 Universal License.Your host is Timothée (Tim) Bourguignon; more about him at timbourguignon.fr.Gift the podcast a rating on one of the significant platforms https://devjourney.info/subscribePodMatchPodMatch Automatically Matches Ideal Podcast Guests and Hosts For Interviews Digital Disruption with Geoff Nielson Discover how technology is reshaping our lives and livelihoods.Listen on: Apple Podcasts   Spotify Inspiring Tech Leaders - The Technology PodcastInterviews with Tech Leaders and insights on the latest emerging technology trends.Listen on: Apple Podcasts   SpotifySupport the show
