So I read ola's interview last night. Lena it was really well done. After reading it though I noticed a big flaw in this interview which is:-
It's a chore :) No really because there are a lot of subjective questions in there which might make a good topic for conversation but will take too long to type. So I think we need a better way to ask these questions. I was wondering whether at meetups most of the people show up? If so would it be possible to do an interview face to face. We might have a better chance there. What do you suggest? Lena: Did you record the interview? Or just made mental notes? Andy: holidays yay! where to? if you don't mind my asking :) Akshat Jiwan Sharma, Independent Software Contractor, (+91) 9654119771 | http://www.staticshin.com <http://staticshin.com> On Fri, Jul 4, 2014 at 12:27 PM, Andy Wenk <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Akshat, Lena, > > just wanted to drop the note that I am really looking forward to read the > interviews.
