Web Directions Year round learning for product, design and engineering professionals

It’s great to be back with a new round of “A Dao of the Web” interviews. If you missed some of the earlier ones, I recently chatted with several of the speakers from our Respond conference, including Ethan Marcotte, Karen McGrane, Sara Soueidan, Russ Weakley, Jen Simmons, Rachel Simpson.

This week we start with a number of conversations I recorded with speakers at Code. First up is Tim Kadlec, who we also profiled for Scroll magazine recently. Sadly, it was the very first time I used my new camera, with an advertised 29 minutes and 59 seconds of recording time, but which seems to stop after around 16 minutes (suspiciously all the recorded files seem to be exactly the same size, so I think file size rather than recording time might be the hard limit on recording), which I only worked out after we’d finished. So we left a lot of interesting stuff in the ether. Luckily for the subsequent conversations I took this into account.

I think the 16 minutes we did have is well worth publishing. We talked about Tim’s career history, the role of writing and presenting in becoming an expert (rather than the other way round) and more. Please enjoy this sadly truncated conversation, and why not jump on our mailing list to be the first to hear when we publish conversations in coming weeks with Yoav Weiss, Alicia Sedlock, Steph and Greg Rewis and Rachel Andrew?
