Lucy Shen - the Cosplaying Developer Advocate Lucy Shen is a developer advocate. What does that mean? No clue, but she filled me in on that. She was an engineer at one point, too. I learned she’s also into cosplay; she shared how she got into it. She’s a musician, too. What does she not do? She’s making me feel lazy!

Ruth King helps businesses stay profitable and build wealth. I’m curious to find out how she does that.

She seems to do a lot of things that aren’t typical, so let’s just get into it.

EP. 261: Sandro Perruzza is the Statistically Significant CEO
Sandro Perruzza is the CEO of the Ontario Society of Professional Engineers (OSPE). I doubt his first job was as a CEO, though. He had to work through a few jobs to get to where he is now. Plus, I think he’s the first guest I’ve had on the channel to have majored in Statistics in school. I still forget what the p-value actually means and the difference between a type I error and a type II error. I’m unsure he’ll be able to clear that up for me, but at least we can cover his career journey and public speaking.
