![The ultimate dev skill is Integration Testing feat. Internet of Bugs [Podcast #209]
Today Quincy Larson interviews Carl Brown, who runs the Internet of Bugs YouTube channel and has worked as a dev at Amazon, IBM, Sun Microsystems, and startups for over 37 years.
We talk about:
- The hype versus the utility in LLMs and agent code generation tools
- Why you might want to target developer jobs at smaller companies, and how these differ from big tech
- How everyone will face agism eventually. Carl argues that a consulting career is a great escape hatch.
