Developer and inventor with 27 software patents [Angie Jones Interview #136]
314On this week's episode of the podcast, freeCodeCamp founder Quincy Larson interviews Angie Jones. She's a developer and holder of 27 software patents. She's worked at companies like IBM and Twitter, doing both test engineering and developer advocacy.
We talk about:
- How a bad performance review from her boss early in her career taught her to be less timid and more vocal about her ideas.
- How she invented lots of software testing processes and holds 27 software patents.
- Her work at IBM, Twitter, and other big tech companies.
- How feature development and test development are completely different disciplines, which each require dedicated practice and their own mindsets
- Her interest in the game Second Life and the possibility of virtual worlds
- How she uses AI for debugging and test engineering
Can you guess what song I'm playing on my bass during the intro? It's a 1992 Acid Jazz song.
