Life on Mars - A podcast from MarsBased

Going back a couple years, we recover this interview from one of our first Martian Tech Talk events, with our friend Jordi Miró, who had just quit his job at RakutenTV (formerly known as WuakiTV before the acquisition by the Rakuten group) and was creating his new company, Lernin Games.  For this new venture, Jordi had to go back to coding, so we talked about how to pick the right technologies for a company, both in startups and in big corporations, how to deal with legacy code, how to build teams of developers and keep them engaged through different technological cycles, pair programming, Ruby on Rails, native mobile apps vs hybrid and more.Support the show🎬 You can watch the video of this episode on the Life on Mars podcast website: https://podcast.marsbased.com/

Affected by COVID-19, everyone has been forced to go remote, so we thought we'd bring one of our best friends in the industry and a person that has been working remotely for as long as he can remember.   In this episode, we talk about how to do remote work, how to deal with your employees/managers/colleagues/clients/etc, an overview of the tools required to do this transition, how to do things and how NOT to do things, and much more.  Sergio Gago has been a CTO in companies like Rakuten, Tangelo Games, Zinio and now is EVP Technology at Naviga, the company delivering the broadest range of technology solutions for the global news media industry, including content management, digital advertising, circulation & audience relationship management.  Sergio has also built his own businesses, including a development consultancy and a scuba diving portal while he was living the nomadic life around the planet, and has published two books, in Spanish, about how to live like a nomad, long before the trend began around these parts of the world.Support the show🎬 You can watch the video of this episode on the Life on Mars podcast website: https://podcast.marsbased.com/
