Dave's first professional love was for teaching. He developed it while studying physics at university. But as the DotCom boom went by, he jumped on the coding bandwagon and was hooked. Dave took us through those first years, learning the ropes and climbing the ladder, going from one giant company to a small one where he could really have an impact. Finally, since Dave is the host of the "Developer on Fire" podcast, we discussed podcasting, why he got into it and what he learned from it along the way.As the host of the Developer On Fire podcast, Dave is pretty much a "colleagues" or an "arch-enemy" :P ? Dave is the father of three wonderful children, a husband, a podcaster, a software developer and an architect. And he delights in technical matters and in human interaction.Here are the links of the show:https://twitter.com/raelyardhttps://developeronfire.comhttps://developeronfire.com/trainingshttps://blog.codinghorror.comhttps://www.pluralsight.comhttps://www.hanselman.comhttps://www.eofire.comhttps://tim.bloghttp://www.commitstrip.com/en/2015/03/04/and-its-donehttp://www.commitstrip.com/en/2014/11/25/west-side-project-storyCreditsMusic Aye by Yung Kartz is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 License.Your hostSoftware Developer‘s Journey is hosted and produced by Timothée (Tim) Bourguignon, a crazy frenchman living in Germany who dedicated his life to helping others learn & grow.

Courtney Eckhardt on Greater Than Code, Teresa Torres on Product Love, Johanna Rothman on Developer On Fire, Jeff Patton on Scrum Master Toolbox, and Jeff Gothelf on Scrum Master Toolbox. I'd love for you to email me with any comments about the show or any suggestions for podcasts I might want to feature. Email podcast@thekguy.com. This episode covers the five podcast episodes I found most interesting and wanted to share links to during the two weeks period starting January 7, 2019. These podcast episodes may have been released much earlier, but this was the week when I started sharing links to them to my social network followers. COURTNEY ECKHARDT ON GREATER THAN CODE The Greater Than Code podcast featured Courtney Eckhardt with hosts John K Sawers, Sam Livingston-Gray, Jamey Hampton and Coraline Ada Ehmke. It was great to hear another conversation that built upon the human factors conversations with Steven Shorrock and John Allspaw in previous episodes. I like how Courtney highlighted the importance of good communication in incident response by helping us picture what the lack of good communication looks like from the customer’s point of view. iTunes link: https://itunes.apple.com/ca/podcast/110-human-incident-response-with-courtney-eckhardt/id1163023878?i=1000426093173&mt=2 Website link: http://www.greaterthancode.com/2018/12/19/110-human-incident-response-with-courtney-eckhardt/ TERESA TORRES ON PRODUCT LOVE The Product Love podcast featured Teresa Torres with host Eric Boduch. I felt that, while A/B testing is a powerful and useful technique, Teresa makes a great point that it is not appropriate in all circumstances and she lists several other techniques that teams should consider when doing product discovery. I also liked the bloodletting metaphor. iTunes link: https://itunes.apple.com/ca/podcast/teresa-torres-joins-product-love-to-talk-about-product/id1343610309?i=1000425622664&mt=2 Website link: https://productcraft.com/podcast/product-love-podcast-teresa-torres-product-discovery-coach-and-writer-of-product-talk/ JOHANNA ROTHMAN ON DEVELOPER ON FIRE The Developer On Fire podcast featured Johanna Rothman with host Dave Rael. I can’t count the number of times I’ve heard someone make a distinction between management and leadership. I always felt that it let managers off the hook. I feel that a manager needs to be a good leader to do his or her job well and vice versa. Johanna captured that sentiment. iTunes link: https://itunes.apple.com/ca/podcast/episode-402-johanna-rothman-learning-and-delivering/id1006105326?i=1000426413335&mt=2 Website link: https://developeronfire.com/podcast/episode-402-johanna-rothman-learning-and-delivering JEFF PATTON ON SCRUM MASTER TOOLBOX The Scrum Master Toolbox podcast featured Jeff Patton with host Vasco Duarte. Jeff talked about how, when he got into software development, he quickly learned that building software was about making as many people as happy as you could while still making money. When he found himself on XP and Agile teams in the first decade of the 2000s, he felt something was missing. When he later fell in with product people, he realized that the missing piece was product thinking. They discussed how Jeff came up with user story mapping and Jeff cited three books that emphasize product thinking: Inspired, Escaping The Build Trap, and Inspired. iTunes link: https://itunes.apple.com/ca/podcast/product-owner-role-what-scrum-masters-can-do-to-help/id963592988?i=1000426507266&mt=2 Website link: https://scrum-master-toolbox.org/2018/12/podcast/jeff-patton-shares-his-view-on-the-product-owner-role-and-what-scrum-masters-can-do-to-help/ JEFF GOTHELF ON SCRUM MASTER TOOLBOX The Scrum Master Toolbox podcast featured Jeff Gothelf with host Vasco Duarte. Vasco asked Jeff about the key ingredients in Agile transformations that get organizations to continuously think about how the product they’re creating relates to the business and the market. Jeff gave a great answer that finished with an example of how even a change in the name of the team changes the way that the team thinks of themselves and their mission. iTunes link: https://itunes.apple.com/ca/podcast/how-to-redefine-measure-success-for-software-development/id963592988?i=1000426560415&mt=2 Website link: https://scrum-master-toolbox.org/2018/12/podcast/jeff-gothelf-on-how-to-redefine-the-measure-of-success-for-software-development/ Feedback Ask questions, make comments, and let your voice be heard by emailing podcast@thekguy.com.

He specializes in building distributed systems and understanding problem domains, especially via Domain-Driven Design and Behavior-Driven Development.

For years, Ari Meisel worked eighteen-hour days in the construction industry, but in 2006, he was diagnosed with Crohn's disease, an inflammatory disease of the digestive tract aggravated by stress and considered incurable. He was forced to find ways to get things done in less time because there were some days when he could only manage to work for an hour. He needed to simplify his life and somehow continue to be productive. Necessity drove Ari to optimize, automate, and outsource much of his life, and in the process, the system he calls Less Doing was born. Through lifestyle changes, Ari eliminated all symptoms of Crohn's and now considers himself cured of the disease. He typically has two scheduled workdays per week and spends the other five with his family. Less Doing is his business through which he helps other people optimize, automate, and outsource through teaching, coaching, and services. Apart from his business, Ari also helps others overcome Crohn's. Please see Disclosure* (below) concerning affiliate links on this page. Key Segments [00:20] Ari Meisel considers himself cured of Crohn's disease because he put himself through a long process of self-tracking. When Ari got sick, he sometimes couldn't work more than an hour a day. This is how Less Doing came about. Ari needed to find a way to get more down in an hour and mitigate the stress. [03:15] What can we do to be more productive using the resources Ari provides and recommends along the way? Ari has a company named Less Doing. He teaches people how to optimize, automate, and outsource everything in their lives. What does that mean? Everyone has outsourced something, even if it was just asking the kids to do a chore. The problem is that people skip right to outsourcing as the first line of defense when it should be the last. People need to optimize first to weed out inefficiencies and streamline. The second thing to do is automate in the vein of set-it-and-forget-it. Outsource only after you have optimized and automated. [04:30] How would Ari recommend people get started with his system? There are different paths. Ari has two coaching programs and a virtual assistant company. The Less Doing, More Living Podcast is a great way for people to find out who Ari is and what he does, but it is a launching point for people to take the next step. Visit Less Doing Call and get a free 30-minute coaching call with one of Ari's Less Doing Certified coaches. This coaching call is where Ari tries to direct everyone to get them started. If they find the coaching valuable, they can get information about programs that might be a good fit. [05:50] Ari's book Less Doing, More Living: Make Everything in Life Easier outlines the nine fundamentals of the system [more on the nine fundamentals below], and he is working on a second book that will cover more of the “why” of Less Doing. [07:10] Ari's two coaching programs are his Boot Camp and his Master Mind. His Boot Camp is the for-everyone program. It's all online, and there's a weekly call with the whole group (currently 150 people). This program takes people through the nine fundamentals and adds other information. In the Master Mind coaching program, Ari works more personally with individuals (currently 14) to address their business, personal growth, or physical problems. [08:10] In 2015, Ari started the Less Doing Virtual Assistants service (the LessDoIsts). He considers the LessDoIsts to be on-demand project managers rather than just virtual assistants. The service is currently in stealth beta mode, but people can get on the waiting list. They are taking on 3 or 4 new clients each week. They have seen considerable interest and are scaling smoothly to get the kinks out of the system. [10:25] Ari begins each episode of the Less Doing Podcast with a discussion of interesting links. These are resources he feels may be of interest to his listeners. He provides a summary spreadsheet of these links as the Less Doing Podcast Links on his website (for the last 100 or so episodes when he has been doing proper show notes). [12:00] Ari and Dave Rael created the Less Doing WODCast, the first completely automated podcast. It is a workout podcast assembled and published daily by a program using pre-recorded workout segments, where each segment is based on a Tabata protocol (high-intensity interval training). [13:30] The nine fundamentals of the Less Doing system, as documented in each of the chapters of the book, are as follows: (1) the 80/20 rule, which is about tracking; (2) creating an external brain, which is about offloading thoughts; (3) customization, which is about creating custom solutions for common problems in your life; (4) choose your own workweek; (5) stop running errands; (6) batching; (7) organization; (8) finances; and (9) wellness. [14:55] Ari discusses contracting and beating Crohn's disease. Ari does free consultations about once a month for people with Crohn's. Ari states that it isn't that hard to overcome Crohn's with the right tools. [16:35] Ari recommends the book Emergency by Neil Strauss. This book was instrumental in helping him change his life. He found the book to be empowering when he was suffering from Crohn's and feeling very powerless. [17:30] Many of Ari's decisions in life and business are made based on how they will affect his time with his family. Ari finds that being with his family as much as he is provides him a lot of material for figuring out ways to be more productive, but it also gives him perspective on his life and business. He could spend more time working and make more money, but he wouldn't be happy. Resources Mentioned Emergency: This Book Will Save Your Life – book by Neil Strauss about what to do when the societal systems we depend on are unavailable. Less Doing, More Living – Ari Meisel's website. “Learn how to optimize, automate, and outsource everything in your life including your health.” Less Doing, More Living: Make Everything in Life Easier – book by Ari Meisel in which he presents the nine fundamental principles of his “Less Doing” philosophy. The nine fundamentals of the Less Doing system, as documented in each of the chapters of the book, are as follows: (1) the 80/20 rule, which is about tracking; (2) creating an external brain, which is about offloading thoughts; (3) customization, which is about creating custom solutions for common problems in your life; (4) choose your own workweek; (5) stop running errands; (6) batching; (7) organization; (8) finances; and (9) wellness. Less Doing, More Living Podcast – podcast by Ari Meisel about making everything in life easier. Less Doing Call – free 30-minute “discovery coaching call” with one of Ari Meisel's Less Doing certified coaches. Less Doing Podcast Links – spreadsheet summarizing the links to resources Ari Meisel has shared in his Less Doing, More Living podcast (since he has been doing proper show notes). Less Doing Virtual Assistants – virtual assistants trained by Ari Meisel in his Less Doing system (LessDoIsts). Ari describes them as virtual project managers rather than virtual assistants. At the time of the interview, the service was still in stealth beta-mode, but people could get on the waiting list. Less Doing WODCast – an automated daily workout podcast by Ari Meisel and Dave Rael. Dave wrote a program to assemble a daily workout podcast from a group of pre-recorded workout segments, where each segment is based on a Tabata protocol (high-intensity interval training).
