The Stack Overflow podcast is a weekly conversation about working in software development, learning to code, and the art and culture of computer programming. Hosted by Paul Ford and Ben Popper, the series features questions from our community, interviews with fascinating guests, and hot takes on what’s happening in tech. Founded in 2008, Stack Overflow is empowering the world to develop technology through collective knowledge. It’s best known for being the largest, most trusted online community for developers and technologists. More than 100 million people come to Stack Overflow every month to ask questions, help solve coding problems, and develop new skills.
Saying goodbye to our co-host, Sara Chipps
Sara has been part of the open source community since 2001 and was formerly on the board of the .NET foundation. Recently she was elected to the board of the OpenJS foundation and was eager to get back in the trenches, helping people solve computer problems.
In this episode we talk about coding interviews and brushing up on your puzzle solving chops.
Later we dive into Ember.js, the framework Sara will be using with her new colleagues at LinkedIn.
We explore what it’s like to join a team when everyone is still remote and you never get the chance to onboard with your team in person.
