067 - Pros and cons of running a boutique agency, with Jamon Holmgren (CTO @ Infinite Red)
One of the downsides of running an agency, or a services-based company per se, is that you don't get media coverage. Only the biggest ones get some coverage but for us, small agencies, it's nearly impossible: we don't do B2C, we don't have products consumed by large chunks of population, most of our work is behind NDAs and also we don't raise funds.
The reality is that agencies are largely profitable and enjoyable businesses to run, even more so if you focus on value not on scale. Hence, we invited Jamon Holmgren (CTO and co-founder of Infinite Red) to jam on running a boutique agency like theirs.
We riff for about an hour, discussing NDAs, how to run boutique agencies, team crafting, React Native, lifestyle businesses and much more.

058 - How are we going to type text in the future? With Olivier Plante (CEO @ Fleksy)
This episode will see us discussing text input and how to build keyboards for smartphones with Olivier Plante, CEO at Fleksy.
Olivier has had a fruitful career in entrepreneurship but our paths didn't cross until some of the first Startup Grind events we organised in Barcelona, where he came and pitched his latest invention, ThingThing, a most flexible smartphone keyboard. A Swiss army knife of sorts, if you will, that integrated with other apps to manage files and other stuff within the conversation, without ever leaving the context of the app.
In this conversation, Àlex and Olivier nerd out about how to get your custom keyboards into your smartphone, how they hacked iOS before the keyboard APIs were public, how Fleksy found a niche market in pharma, and how they're helping big players in the industry to detect early signs of neurological decline with their platform.

8: Domain-Driven Design goes mobile
Unser Gast Jörg Pechau beschäftigt sich mit seinem Unternehmen I.C.N.H. hauptsächlich mit der App-Entwicklung für Mobilgeräte und orientiert sich dabei bereits seit Langem an DDD. Seine Erfahrungen und Einsichten daraus teilt er in dieser Episode mit uns.
Der Rechenzeit-Podcast wird von der WPS - Workplace Solutions GmbH unterstützt.

035 - Choosing technologies and technical co-founders, with Dorion Carroll (CTO/CIO @ Zynga)
We're repurposing an old (but still rings true today!) fireside chat we hosted at IronHack Barcelona in March 2017 with our good friend Dorion Carroll.
Dorion had just quit his role as CTO/CIO at Zynga and was about to join Amazon as VP of Customer Engagement Technologies. All the while, he spent some time travelling, and visited us in Barcelona.
Actually, you have heard Dorion before in this podcast, in episode #7 How to keep the house clean: sunsetting legacy systems and tech hygiene.
The audio recording is pretty terrible - our sincere apologies for that - but the content is very good and we think that every aspiring entrepreneur should listen to this conversation where the following topics are discussed:
- Misconceptions and myths in the tech industry
- Companies vs. products vs. features
- How to pick technologies for new projects
- How to find a technical co-founder or CTO
- How to hire developers
- Current technologies vs. more established programming languages
- How to communicate the cost of tech to non-technical business partners
- And more!
Also, you can enjoy Dorion's infinite tech wisdom and Àlex's failed attempts at standup comedy throughout the course of this fireside chat.

Expo: Part 2 with Brent Vatne
Dart in the Cloud, Backend, Command Line, and Shelf with Kevin Moore
My guest in this episode is Kevin Moore. Kevin is a Product Manager at Google working on Dart and Flutter.
In one of the last episodes of the Flutter 101 podcast, I talked to Ryan Knell, the author of the Alfred package. Kevin, who works as Product Manager at Google, listened to the episode. He then shared on Twitter, that he would love to come on and explain more about his thoughts on pkg:shelf and Dart on the server and CLI. Of course, I invited him immediately!
Most people know Dart as the language behind Flutter. Flutter code is powered by the world-class Dart platform, which enables compilation to 32-bit and 64-bit ARM machine code for iOS and Android, as well as JavaScript for the web and Intel x64 for desktop devices.
Dart is also used for tooling, as command-line apps, running web servers, and more. pub.dev is also running on Dart and it's serving millions! It's a great match as a backend language for teams and developers who already write Flutter. If your Flutter app needs a backend or you need to glue some services together, Dart is a great match.
We talked about how you can run Dart in the cloud today. You can use Cloud Run’s container support, combined with Dart’s Docker images, to run server-side Dart code.
We briefly talked about the Functions Framework that makes it easy to write Dart functions instead of server applications for handling web requests. Using the framework, you can create functions that handle HTTP requests and CloudEvents and deploy your Dart functions to Google Cloud.
Lastly, we also talked about command-line apps, and Kevin shared his tips on which packages can improve your development experience while writing and using Dart on the command line.

Claudia Maciel: Conquering Clouds from Aviation and iOS Development
Claudia Maciel grew up in a small farming community in California and had dreams of exploring the world. She went to college full of enthusiasm and curiosity - eager to discover what she was most passionate and interested in. In her first year, she enrolled in an intro to computer programming course but was the only girl and the only Mexican in the entire class. Her professors were encouraging though and she loved the class. In fact, she was so great at it she decided to major in Computer Science!
But when she graduated from college and started going out onto interviews, she suddenly was back to that same place of feeling alone and as though she didn’t belong in the industry. She just didn’t feel as though she belonged. So instead, she decided to help others and to teach students about computer science and aviation.
Oh yeah, in college she also discovered a passion and aptitude for aviation and flying!
So that is what she went on to do for a long time - she was teaching at an after-school program as well at the local aviation school. And that’s when NASA approached her! With NASA, Claudia helped to empower children to get into STEM and push beyond societal boundaries. It was an incredible program, but ultimately, the fact that she was encouraging students to pursue these sorts of careers despite pursuing them herself became too glaring and she felt ready to break into the industry herself.
That’s when Claudia became a pilot for SkyWest Airlines. She was finally then able to travel, to leave her town, and see the world!
She loved it, but the traveling became too much for her family, and so with the confidence gained after joining the male-dominated industry of aviation, Claudia discovered she felt ready and able to enter the tech industry.
She discovered the Lambda School’s iOS program and dedicated herself to their program to dive int0 the world of native application development. And since recording the interview, Claudia has landed her first tech job as a mobile app developer at Jack Henry & Associates!
This episode is packed with advice and tips for those looking to break into tech. Claudia overcame fears of being the only woman or Latina in both aviation and tech. Today, she is an example for all young Latinas to never stop pursuing their dreams!

Dart on AWS Lambda and Serverless Computing with Sebastian Döll
In this episode of the Flutter 101 Podcast, I talked to Sebastian Döll.
Sebastian is a Senior Software Engineer living in Berlin. He currently works on GitHub at Microsoft. Previously, he worked as Solutions Architect at AWS. He created products at DigitalOcean, Axel Springer, Accenture, and IBM.
I found his article on the AWS Open Source Blog about a Dart Runtime for AWS Lambda:
Writing your functions in Dart enables you to use your skills to develop mobile applications to create serverless backends. You also can share code between your application and your backend, and use the power of a statically typed language.
Sebastian explained how he was able to support the Dart language via custom Lambda runtimes, and how we can create a Lambda function in Dart.
We also talked about several related topics, serverless compute, the serverless app framework, AOT vs JIT, cross-compilation (or lack thereof), alternative languages and serverless compute services, and how devs need to think about serverless architectures.
