Goodbye Google, hello Brisbane. July 21, 2016. It was with mixed emotions that I resigned from my job at Google last week. Yesterday was my last day. I had already said my goodbyes to my wonderful coworkers when I left London, and then again when I left Mountain View and San Francisco, but saying goodbye to the company was emotional again. As an employee, I have nothing but good things to say about Google. What would become of our product? Would we fit in with the super-smart Google engineers? I’ve reali...

Interview at Hack and Heckle – Rise of the “devster”. April 28, 2014. I’ve been interviewed by my buddy Ben Morgan on his podcast Hack and Heckle. Ben was a pal of mine at university. One of my first memories of Ben was when he confronted my friend Jo and I at the uni pub for running out of his databases tutorial when his back was turned. In our defence, his tutorial wasn’t at all boring – we were just very hungry! Actually moving to San Francisco. Start spreading the news: CAST keynote in NYC.

How I became a programmer. February 6, 2015. And now for something completely different. Head on over to Medium to read my short tale of how I became a programmer. It was a truly spiritual journey, involving dancing squash. I’m not 100% sure of why I wrote it on Medium instead of here. There’s just something about Medium that makes me want to write. Have a think about that one, WordPress. Interview by Fog Creek Software blog. 2 thoughts on “How I became a programmer”. February 17, 2015 at 8:37 pm.

Interview by Fog Creek Software blog. February 6, 2015. I was recently interviewed by Fog Creek Software’s blog about embedded testers in development teams. Check it out here. To listen to me rant about how software testing needs to be a core competency of the software engineering discipline. Note: I mentioned a book in this interview “Driven by tests” but I got the name horrifically wrong. The name of the book is “Growing Object Oriented Software, Guided by Tests”. By Steve Freeman and Nat Pryce. I beli...
