    Kody and Nick are both incredibly hard-working folks who happen to also work at Whiteboard.

    In part one, we start a discussion on formal design education.

    The interview went quite a bit longer than we expected it to go, so I've decided to split the interview into two parts, which will both be released this week.

    How do you code a feeling? Lees meer

    Today, we're going to be talking about how to deal with ambiguous feedback. The answer is kind of ambiguous, unfortunately, but we live in a subjective world, so let's all learn how to value subjective things, shall we?

    We've managed to hit LESS than 5 minutes on this one! Hope you enjoy it. Up next in the queue is our first interview episode double-release, which is a bit longer, so be on the look out!

    We (again) went over the 10 minute mark, but hopefully the discussion is worth the extra half minute to you!

    Prototyping is a process that bridges the gap between production and static design. In this episode, I talk a bit about what that means, and about what is required for all good prototypes. If you aren't prototyping now, you need to catch up. Lees meer

    Afspelen
    This is the proverbial "hello" episode, where I tell you what Developer Tea is all about. Developer Tea is born out of my own desire to have shorter podcasts that come out more often. I very rarely have the time to listen to so many of the podcasts I'd like to listen to, because they are just simply too long. Developer Tea is engineered to fit inside your tea (or coffee, or kombucha) break. Lees meer
