Killed by Desk

19 Sue Werner - Database Developer ( War on Women / Shemps / Stormshadow ) )

Episode Summary

Sue got a programming bug at a young age programming an 8 Bit monster gotten out of a relative’s trash minus a key component! After actually completing a double major in college, she actually got a job in the work she trained for. Now a database developer for John’s Hopkins Sue has figured out how to balance being in a popular punk band and keep a career going at the same time. In this episode we talk about the sort of work Sue avoids while relishing technical challenges in their place. Disclaimer: This episode was originally a short test when we were deciding on the general format and style this podcast should be, and was recorded in two parts. The result comes off much more like a late night conversation you’d have at HoJos than any semblance of serious interview, but Sue still manages to communicate her noble approach to work and genuinely has a lot of things figured out that other fledging developers can learn from.
