Kodsnack 258 - Object-oriented assembly with Marco Ceccione

<p>Recorded at <a href="http://oredev.org/2017">Øredev 2017</a>, Fredrik talks to <a href="https://twitter.com/sklivvz">Marco Ceccione</a> about the ZX Spectrum, positive hacking (the only kind there is!), the benefits of getting closer to the metal and finally balancing coding and management.</p> <p>Marco is an engineering manager at <a href="https://www.toptal.com/">Toptal</a>. Before that, he worked at Stack overflow, where, among other things, he wrote object-oriented assembly to solve real-wold problems on a huge scale. Yes, that&rsquo;s a real thing, discussion and links explains it all.</p> <p>Thank you <a href="http://www.cloudnet.se">Cloudnet</a> for sponsoring our <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_private_server">VPS</a>!</p> <p>Comments, questions or tips?
