Podcast appearances and mentions of jen costillo

Jen Costillo joined us to talk about voice acting, reverse engineering, podcasting, and dance. Jen's podcast is the Unnamed Reverse Engineering Podcast, found in all your usual podcast places. Jen and her co-host Alvaro were on an episode of Opposable Thumbs podcast. Find Jen on Twitter at @RebelbotJen (also @unnamed_show and @catmachinesSF). Rebelbot.com has her blog and Cat Machines Dance is her site devoted to dance (including the mentioned video about dancers and the pandemic). The Hardware Hacking Handbook: Breaking Embedded Security with Hardware Attacks by Jasper van Woudenberg and Colin O'Flynn  Jen is studying voice-overs at VoicetraxSF  Jen has been on the show many times in the past. Some of our favorites include 108: Nebarious about security and privacy 82: I Was a Chewbacca Person about movies that influenced their path to engineering 51: There Is No Crying in Strcpy about interviewing 25: Thunderdome for Antennas about RF and manufacturing consumer products 10: Hands Off, Baby about C keywords

Alvaro Prieto (@alvaroprieto) spoke with us about cheese, making, work, the reverse engineering podcast, weather, and motivation. Alvaro is a host of the Unnamed Reverse Engineering podcast. Some of his favorite episodes include #41 with Samy Kamkar, #14 with Joe Grand, and #23 with Major Malfunction. (Jen Costillo co-hosts the show and has been on Embedded several times.) Alvaro works at Sofar Ocean, making oceanic sensing platforms. He has a personal website linking to his other exploits. We talked about some Embedded episodes as well: #282 with Laughlin Barker about OpenROV #174 with Evan Shapiro about baby monitors and professional poker  Also, we’ve all really enjoyed the Disney’s Mandolorian.

Jen Costillo (@rebelbotjen) joins Elecia and Christopher to discuss their experiences interviewing (both as interviewer and interviewee). Elecia did an hour long webinar on how to conduct technical interviews. In this show, she mentions a good post-interview ratings system. Google discovered that their brainteasers are not a very effective way to interview. Despite the news that swearing is good for you, we tried to bleep everything. Also, it is minesweeper, not minefield. What were we thinking? It was obviously all Christopher’s fault. Though we should have stood up to him.  Elecia's book has more interview questions but from the perspective of how do you ask a question and what do you look for in a response.    

Jen Costillo and Álvaro Prieto of the Unnamed Reverse Engineering Podcast are our guests this episode! Undisclosed Unnamed geographic locations in tha house! We dig into the concept of reverse engineering and also the complexities and simplicities of cheesemaking! Taylor brings a serger to a #fingergunfight. Taylor is an I... And a very slight A! Jen asks us "can you ensure your survival?" Always check the QR code to be totally sure! Plants! Humans! Electronics! Álvaro may have created of a new version of rock paper scissors! Rob packs his bug out bag and then was totally unprepared for what happened next.

Jen Costillo (@rebelbotjen) joins Elecia White to discuss the secret parts of C, keywords that only embedded software engineers seem to know about. Jen and Elecia talk about interviewing and why these keywords make good questions for finding folks who use the language to its full potential. On the show they mention a list of embedded interview questions with answers. (Note: Elecia's book has many excellent interview questions and what interviewers look for when they ask them.) Producer Christopher White sends along a more concise introduction to the often unused register keyword.  NOTE: This is a repeat episode from before we'd settled on our name. Note that Jen is the co-host of the Unnamed Reverse Engineering Podcast.

Alvaro Prieto (@alvaroprieto) joined us to talk about the basics of debugging, from software to hardware. Some of the programmer devices we talked about: SEGGER JLink and Black Magic Probe. Chris mentioned a visual frontend for gdb called "Vulcan" but which is actually called Voltron. (He's got graphics on the brain). How did we forget to mention the six stages of debugging? Alvaro Prieto and Jen Costillo's new podcast on reverse engineering! And on Twitter as @unnamed_show. Alvaro's Cheese Cave: making cheese and cheese-lapse photography of Brie aging.
