Kodsnack 604 - Farmer's disposition, with Evan Czaplicki

<p>Fredrik talks to <a href="https://github.com/evancz">Evan Czaplicki</a>, creator of Elm about figuring out a good path for yourself.</p> <p>What do you do when you have a job which seems like it would be your dream job, but it turns out to be the wrong thing for you? And how do you escape from that?</p> <p>You can&rsquo;t put the success of something you build before your own personal and mental health, no matter how right the decision may be for the thing you build.</p> <p>Is there ever a reproducible path? Aren&rsquo;t most or all successful things in large part a result of their circumstances?</p> <p>Platform languages and productivity languages - which do you prefer?</p> <p>Thoughts on the tradeoffs of when and how to roll things out and when to present ideas.</p> <p>Evan&rsquo;s development mindset and environment, and the ways it has affected Elm&rsquo;s design - all the way down to the error messages.</p> <p>Finally, of course, the benefits of country life - out of the radiation of San Francisco.</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?
