Episode 27: Artisan Database Administration

This episode marks a return, both for special guest Selena
Deckelmann, and our special hand-made artisan podcasting. Know
that this episode was made with locally-sourced bytes, harvested
with care and respect for the Earth. We talk with Selena about
working at Mozilla, her switch to Linux on the desktop, and how
marketing is weightier than merit in determining a product’s
success.


This episode’s super-special sponsor is EasyBib! They are looking
for junior and senior PHP devs to work on their awesome academic
web app. Check out the job description and email stuff to
till+php@imagineeasy.com.


As always, thank you to our awesome sponsors at Engine Yard and
Wonder Network for providing cashmoney and bandwidth for our live
stream, respectively.
