Coding for fun, with Jon Skeet

April 13, 2021

What’s the difference between coding for fun and coding for your job? Clare Sudbery chats to Jon Skeet, who is famous for the book C# in depth and infamous for his Stack Overflow contributions. Clare and Jon talk about Jon’s open source contributions, his side project (a drum kit explorer), and how this work connects with his day job as a Google engineer.

Jon Skeet‘s Twitter profile describes him as “Christian, husband (of Holly Webb, the children’s author), father, feminist, software engineer (currently at Google), author, @stackoverflow contributor. He/him.” Jon works on the Google Cloud Client Libraries for .NET, and other things like the .NET Functions Framework.
