Joshua Jacobs has come by the café to teach the unicorn all about wood turning. While Marta tries to get rid of 37 hoof-turned paper towel holders, Joshua chats with Jason and Bojan about...brain scans?

Learn about the wild and crazy bugs that can creep into scientific data processing, find out why medical user interfaces are never pretty, and discover how to grow your professional network.

Jason C. McDonald — Tue, 01 Jun 2021 16:46:00 +0000

The café's temporal stabilizer has gone out, and there's only one person who can fix it: the inimitable @vaidehijoshi! Turns out, being a cheese sauce expert can really come in handy in time travel. Who knew?

Vaidehi chats with Jason and Bojan about teaching computer programming, debugging with print statements, and empowering software teams.

We might even have discovered where all bugs ultimately come from!

Episode 5: Bojan Reads the Documentation

Jason C. McDonald — Mon, 03 May 2021 18:12:30 +0000

Garlic sprinkles anyone? The transreality espresso machine has gone on the fritz, and Bojan and Jason are trying to figure out why. Into the madness walks the force of calm that is Anastasiia Tymoshchuk.

Surrounded by tomes of documentation, Anastasiia, Jason, and Bojan chat about everything that can go wrong in an organization, from postmortem blame to zombies in the scrum meeting.

This may also be the genesis of The Daily Planking. (According to our unicorn lawyer, you can't hold us liable if anyone actually implements this!)

Developer advocate. Developer avocado? What is that about, anyway? Thanks to a freak emoji accident involving the unicorn and Marta's smartphone, the café is experiencing an onslaught of fresh produce.

Never to be dissuaded from a great conversation, Jason C. McDonald and Bojan Miletic don helmets and chat with @cheukting_ho about what exactly developer advocates do.

Episode 3: To Boldly Debug

Jason C. McDonald — Thu, 08 Apr 2021 19:15:35 +0000

What is DevOps anyway? How about SRE? What's so awesome about Jupyter Notebook? And what do you do when that rogue process is more of a Nazgul than a zombie?

Moshe Zadka joins hosts Bojan Miletic and Jason C. McDonald on this episode of The Bug Hunters Café to answer those questions and more.
