Our guest for Episode #26 is Becks Boone, Robot Developer at Boulder Food Rescue, and a software engineer with a focus on civic technology.
Becks and I discuss an array of topics, among them:
- their perception of the USA from an American born and growing up on foreign soil, vs their actual experience upon arriving here at age 18
- working with the City of Boulder on behalf of Code For America
- the experience of a female-bodied person working in tech
- thoughts on whether technology has a responsibility to culture and society
- and the intersection of shared ownership, social justice and tech
Follow Becks on Twitter @boonrs.
NOTE: This episode is marked explicit due to one or two highly contextual uses of the “F” word.
