Friend #6 - Matt Wynne

11/04/24 • 68 min

Matt Wynne joins me in episode 6 of Elixir Friends!

We chat about how an English man landed in Canada among draft dodgers, about being a ski bum, skateboarding as we get older, my path from Bolivia to the U.S., and how I got into programming. We also talk about how he got involved with Cucumber, how he's the author of 3 books (mostly 1, he says), the business around Cucumber, and how that team adopted mobbing as a programming technique.
