Today on this episode of Angle Free IT I got together with Strata Chalup, who is a Developer, Author, Blogger, and Speaker from many conferences, including the LISA conference. Strata has been an influential person in my career because of her framework on troubleshooting. I got it from a friend who saw her speech at LISA and have gone over it many times with people. If you’re interested, I have a link to it below the show notes. We touch on Interview Strategies, Solopreneuring, and Strata’s dynamic career pivots.

10:30: Diversity and inclusion – today versus yesterday – and what still needs to change. Talk about Pillar 1 as well.

24:30: Mentorship discussions, talk about Pillar 6.

You can find the latest book Strata Co-Authored Here.

Later on, we talked about Arduino programming – and I found a great starter set for people interested here. For small Arduino parts, I love the Colorado company Spark Fun, which can be found at http://www.sparkfun.com.

As well, we touched on a cool robotics book from MIT that Strata was talking about can be found here.
