Our family has a business that makes software for the readymix concrete industry. I work in it, which means I do most things from software development, project management, sales, etc. to some degree.

How did you become a software developer? What stack do you use? What kind of programs do you make?

You still have to answer all of these....or else!!

That's awesome though what languages do you know?

I went to school for Computer Science, then landed a job as a software developer. I spent 2 years writing automation testing in Ruby to test web based applications for a large insurance company.

I've currently been working on a web application as a developer for the past 8 months building both back and front end services as well screens. The application is for online education.

Or else you will have made a very powerless enemy!!!!!

I'm most knowledgable in Python. I've done some work with Objective-C, JavaScript. PHP and C#.

Oh that's awesome, what sort of online education? General purpose platform or something specific? How big of a team do you work in?

It's called a learning management system. So it is used by schools to help organize there activities and allows teachers to provide content to their students.

I work on a dev team of about 30 people.

That's a nice range there. I haven't had a chance to work with Python yet, most of my work is in Java, Groovy, and Javasrcipt currently.

Oh, I've just started a new company with some people who brought in a project that's written in Groovy. I have no experience with it though, but I might be hiring a Groovy programmer soon for that new endeavour. How do you like Groovy?

30 Devs, that's a big team, how do you like working at your job? Are you satisfied? Do you ever do your own projects?

Blah

I love where I am currently working the people here are great. I do my projects sometimes and I try to attend some tech groups during the month.

I love Groovy, it helps get over a lot of the boiler plate code of Java while keeping a lot of the good foundation built into Java over the years.

Anything particular you are working on in your spare time?

How is that going?

Been going pretty well I've dropped 13 pounds so far and I've been reading this great series called the Codex Alera by Jim Butcher.

What have you been up to?

Different things, I've been pretty swamped with work, like I said starting a new company, which had a ridiculous amount of stress with it.

Except for that I've not being doing too much, chatted with friends a lot. Listened to some new music. Watched TV. Not exercise. The usual.

Yeah I've known people who've started companies. Good luck with it!

Thanks. It's gotten to a more relaxed phase.

I've been wanting to start a new project soon though. I'd like to try making something with Xamarin (C#). I was thinking maybe a Project Management tool, cause I've never been satisfied with any I tried.

I've never worked with Xamarin before. Yeah most Project Management tools I've seen don't do enough or cost too much for what you want.
