What it Means to be a Polyglot Developer with Sarah Withee

In this episode, Sarah Withee, treasurer of the board of directors for Prototype PGH, and organizer of Code & Supply talks about Code Thesaurus: her polyglot developer reference tool and language reference cheat sheet that compares language components from languages you know and don't know.

Sarah also talks about approaching problems differently in different languages, right code vs. performant code, and the ineffectiveness of trash-talking and prematurely labeling things as “dead”.
