Fredrik talks to Rachel Reese about F#, Xamarin, the the MIT study (on diversity, sexism and career for women faculty at MIT) and related topics. We also cover good communities and being allowed (by yourself and others) to be a beginner.
This episode was recorded during the developer conference Øredev 2015, where Rachel gave two talks.
