In episode 16 of the Array Cast we asked our guest Brooke Allen how to get work as an array programmer. Our question produced an hour of inspiring stories from a master storyteller. (Brooke has performed at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.)
Brooke is widely known for unconventional views that find solutions no one else has considered. The first programming languages he learned left him feeling like my head was in a vise. Then he learned APL, with which he became one of the pioneers of algorithmic trading; subsequently a fund manager. The story of how he set about hiring a new programmer, which led to his No Shortage of Work project, is a legend in the APL community.
An episode you can share with non-programming friends, and a ray of light in these dark times.
