You can get in touch at [email protected] I’ve got Dave with me again.Dave is my partner at Nona and our CTO.Dave has been programming since ‘91 and has worked with some of the world's leading brands on a massive range of projects across too many industries and technologies to mention.He holds a computer science degree with honours in Semantic Computing.Naval Ravikant is one of my favourite sources of wisdom and he speaks about how to determine who is worth listening to and who isn’t and one of his main points is to differentiate between people who are memorizing their content and essentially just repeating it and people who understand their subject matter from first principles. Dave is the best example that I know personally. Dave explains highly complex concepts from first principles and he does it in a way that is accessible and in a way that actually leaves the person that he is speaking to feeling smarter rather than overwhelmed and that's a gift.Dave also likes cool t-shirts, BMW’s and computer games.You can get hold of Dave here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/davedavedave/The book Dave mentioned: The DynamoDB Book by Alex DebrieIf you'd like to get in touch with me to discuss a tech project or an episode, please do:https://www.linkedin.com/in/mikeadamscott/[email protected] https://www.nona.digitalhttps://dribbble.com/nonadigitalteam
