What this episode covers

In this episode, I talk to Charlie Gerard who recently switched from the software consultance ThoughtWorks to the product company Atlassian. She now works on Jira, the planning and bug tracking software that comprises a codebase of several million lines of code. We talk about: - her experience working at Atlassian, - the software engineering practices used at Atlassian, - how diverse roles on a team help make better products, - her interview experience to get into this popular developer tool company, - the difference between working for a product company versus a consultancy, - how to become a GoogleDev expert and a Mozilla Tech speaker, - and of course also about her passion to tinker with brain-controlled interfaces.
