I'm the head of IT at Statistics Iceland. I describe myself as a hacker turned manager so that other hackers don't have to (but I sure do miss hacking all the time).
I don't expect this to be a rags-to-riches story. I'm not in this for the money, I'm in this for the experience. For the love as you say.
The crash of my old laptop's hard drive was an great example of dogfooding. My book is all about understanding what the needs of data are and identifying quality attributes you want to be sure you deliver as expected. One of those attributes is recoverability -- being able to recover your data in the event of data loss. So being able to recover all my stuff through backups struck really close to home (and I was able to recover it using the exact same backup software I use in an example in the book).
I used two editors. I'm an Emacs user so all my code and extras were done in Emacs. However because of a built-in Asciidoc preview extension for Atom, I decided to write the book in Atom. So Atom for writing, Emacs for code.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
Thanks for the kind reply.
