Devon George Petersen, known affectionately across the world as the ‘African Warrior' is Africa's only professional darts player. Devon carries that mantle with great pride and responsibility, recognising that, every time he competes, he carries the hopes of a continent and is a role model to millions. Born on 4th June 1986 in Mitchell's Plain, Cape Town, Devon learnt the sport of darts from his father, George. It was obvious that Devon was blessed with a significant talent and he swiftly became the youngest man ever to represent both Western Province and South Africa. After a string of tournament victories in his homeland, progression to the professional game seemed inevitable and Devon made his PDC World Darts Championship debut at the Alexandra Palace, London in 2011, aged 24. Notable appearances followed at the World Cup of Darts where Devon represented the Rainbow Nation with great credit in reaching the quarter-finals, both in 2012 (when partnered by Shawn Hogan) and 2014 (when partnered by Graham Filby).

Mindset for darts and how Devon has utilised meditation to help him perform at the highest level. The benefits Devon has seen from using meditation.

“So, there is hope. I am still an optimist about this, and I’m doing as much as I can to keep myself healthy. If this is my destiny or whatever and there’s nothing I can do to stop it, that’s fine. But I’m gonna live my life to the fullest in the meantime, because nothing is guaranteed. So I’ll keep challenging myself to do things while my mind and my body are able.” I have been following Devon Pass since before she was Devon Pass. Devon was one of the OG bloggers in the early 2010s, and I loved following her travel adventures on Tumblr. (She was Devon Mills at the time.) Today, Devon is married to her husband, Aaron, and they live in Washington with their five-year-old daughter, Evie. Devon is a copywriter for Nordstrom (cool!), and is a six-time marathoner. We cover a lot of ground in this episode — it really was just catching up with an old friend. Devon talks about how she learned to save money in her twenties, and how she was able to support herself while she traveled the world. She talks about the moments that made her stronger along the way, and talks about how she met her now husband. She shares her running story, and talks about what she's doing right now to get faster and stronger. She talks candidly about new motherhood, and what it was like being the first in her friend group to have a baby. And she talks about her mom, who was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease in her sixties. (Tissue warning for this part of the conversation.) It's a well-rounded conversation that perfectly showcases this well-rounded woman. SPONSOR: AfterShokz — Visit ontherun.aftershokz.com for 15% off wireless headphones.

There is no difference between architecture and design. It's all engineering and creating a distinction between the two is a way for someone to get paid more and have a different title. That hot take comes from Devon Estes, today’s guest, who provides a novel way of seeing design and architecture. We open the episode by diving straight into the topic of design, with Devon exploring how good design might be less important than developing the right toolset. We then talk about how language servers can help you effortlessly define functions, meaning that in some cases, it doesn’t matter where you put your code — even if it’s all in one file. After touching on game-changing innovations in the world of design, such as GTP-3, Devon shares how our design options are limited by our editors. Considering the impact of human error on software, we discuss the value of convention and rulesets. As Elixir apps or apps that use Phoenix are open-ended, Devon talks about his middle-ground solution to help teams overcome this challenge. Near the end of the episode, Devon chats about why design and architecture, as elements of engineering, are different levels of abstraction and not separate entities. Following this, he highlights how domain-driven design can be used to avoid confusion and bugs by ensuring that people across departments all use the same language. Tune in to hear more of Devon’s unique and well-pondered insights. Key Points From This Episode: Devon’s take on design; “Where things go doesn’t matter if you have a language server.” Defining what a language server is and its incredible usefulness. How ‘go to definition’ functions could render much of design as unnecessary. Game-changing innovations that will change the world of design. Functional versus object-orientated languages and the challenge of finding files. Why Devon uses Vim and what makes it attractive to other programmers. How Elixir apps can be a challenge due to their open-ended nature. Creating primary and secondary contexts to give Phoenix more structure. The human factor; why people are often the cause of many coding issues. Hear how Devon has been structuring his Absinthe projects. Devon shares details about his Absinthe testing library, Assertions. Devon’s hot take that there is no difference between architecture and design. The importance of domain-driven design in avoiding confusion and bugs. Why engineers need to push to ensure the same language is used across departments.
