Tuts+ Interview with David Walsh

By  on  
NetTuts

Rey Bango recently made the mistake of asking to interview me.  After I made him hear my analysis of Arsenal and Tottenham, and shared with him my experience as a young fast food worker, we eventually got around to my tech career.  An unflattering teaser:

Have you ever meet a brash punk kid that annoys you to no end but he's so damn talented that you can't help but want to work with him? That's how I felt when I first met David Walsh several years ago. Since then, I've seen him mature into a respected and often quoted software developer and most recently, a new dad. He hasn't lost his snark and feistiness and he continues to hone his skills daily, often sharing his best tips on his awesome namesake blog.
