When the schedule came out for CodeMash 2018, I knew I wanted to attend Randall Degges’s talk “JWTs Suck (and are stupid)”. As a developer in a shop that uses JWTs for user session tokens, I have to admit it stoked my impostor syndrome. But it’s always best to learn about flaws in your design as early as you can.

Hey, everyone. Today I’m going to interview Perry, a pair programmer practitioner. We’ll talk about pair programming, his experiences, and he’ll give us some tips on pairing effectively.

For OnShift’s 2016 Q4 Engineering Hack Day, I decided to create a blog for our department to share with the world our passion for the technologies we’ve used here at OnShift. I felt that it was very appropriate to write the first post, explaining what I did to setup this very blog.
