Pauline Vos (Senior Software Engineer at MongoDB) reveals how software culture evolved from its counterculture, DIY, and anarchist roots to what we see today. We explore: The original hacker mindset and why it mattered How open source was always political Why 2017-2018 changed everything Where to still find real hacker culture (hint: hacker camps, FOSDEM) The difference between building puzzles vs. building APIs From Anonymous protests to battle snake competitions, from lockpicking to the lost idealism of the early web - discover what software engineering lost and where you can still find it. "Open source culture goes back to the 70s... quite a few of them see free information, open information, accessible information as a human right." - Pauline 🔗 Connect with Pauline: https://pauline-vos.nl https://www.linkedin.com/in/paulinepvos Full episode on YouTube ▶️ https://youtu.be/0fIoRVlObNo Beyond Coding Podcast with 🎙Patrick Akil Powered by Xebia!!
