ALTERNATE UNIVERSE DEV

Software Developer's Journey

#257 Emmanuel Gaillot componist, psychotherapist, humanist & programmer

Emmanuel placed the start his journey in the 80s in a computer club. He described how he learned GW-BASIC and became hooked. He told about his love for music and how his parents encouraged him to pursue "real studies." He explained how he went to the USA to study Computer Science, music, and Japanese... and became a theater composer. He discussed his first job as a programmer and being bored (and bad at it) until he discovered eXtremeProgramming. He talked about learning TDD, exploring what became Katas, and creating a coding dojo.  He spoke about finding psychotherapy, becoming a psychotherapist, and much more. This was a wild ride worth every minute.
