Interviews

Swizec shares his thoughts about his #ReactSummit talk, what stops developers from getting things done & what advice he has for beginners

This week, senior software engineer, instructor, and blogger Swizec Teller spoke with Software Engineering Radio's Brijesh Ammanath about the "Senior Mindset."

On the DevJourney podcast Swiz' told us how he discovered computers at a very early age and how the planets aligned. By the time he enrolled in a CS degree in Slovenia, he had already had multiple internships and experiences working as a software developer. He spoke about freelancing and how this led him not to finish his CS degree. He talked about how his first entrepreneurial experience took him to Silicon Valley, what he learned there (by crashing and burning his startup) and how it eventually took him where he worked for the past seven years.

Rob Ocell caught me in the middle of a 3 week fire at work for a conversation on the Modern Web Podcast. We talked about DST issues and more in a wide ranging conversation about Serverless, JavaScript backends, and the myth of vendor lock-in.

Swizec Teller started his career coding PHP websites for $5/hour, now he leads teams at hyper growth startups in Silicon Valley. Along the way he learned a new senior mindset focused on business outcomes and ownership. He learned what makes these startup engineers special.

On this episode, Jeremy and Rebecca chat with Swizec Teller about how to approach serverless as a frontend engineer, why if you can JavaScript you can backend, why tech tutorials are turning you into a mediocre engineer, and so much more.

We had a conversation with Jonathan Cutrell that was so good it made _two_ episodes!

Software engineer, author, and educator Swizec Teller joined me to talk about consulting vs employment in Silicon Valley.

In this episode, you'll learn what Swizec looks for in Junior Developer in 2021 and how you can crack the coding interview by highlighting your potential.

Robby speaks with Swizec Teller, Senior Software Engineer at Tia and author of Serverless for Frontend Engineers. In this conversation, Swizec shares his thoughts on how startups need to learn how to leverage technical debt effectively, an introduction to his book, and the traits of a Senior Engineer Mindset.

We talk on the 6 figure developer about what it really takes to be a senior engineer

In this The New Stack Makers podcast, guests Swizec Teller, a senior software engineer, Tia — a healthcare company— and author, and Shawn Wang, head of developer experience for microservices orchestration platform provider Temporal.io, describe the mindset and other attributes required to become a senior engineer.

Swizec and David talk about the key differences between Junior devs and senior devs, the concept of a 10x engineer, and different ways to gain experience quickly.

We talk about serverless and why it's exciting for frontend engineers

Our conversation took an unexpected turn when Swizec started to talk about career and being part of the Silicon Valley ecosystem. He shared what it really means to be part of that environment, which for so many of us we only know a fraction of what goes on there.

We talked about computer science and whether any of that stuff is useful in your job

In this interview, we discussed his beginnings as a tech whizzkid, writing about code, coding live, supporting indie tech writers, and using videos as the next hot thing in teaching programming. There was also an unexpected guest on the show!

Swizec has an incredible work ethic — regularly blogging, vlogging, live streaming, and writing books on your favorite web technologies React and D3. How does he do all that and keep a full-time job at a startup?
