We’re as pleased as we could be to announce that Brent Lintner has joined our team as a software engineer. Here’s a chance to meet Brent through our now-standard questions, and to read about his favourite new (old) discovery in Waterloo Region.
I went to a fairly small high school, but there was enough student interest for a single grade 10 intro class, and after writing a 30-page long implementation of Blackjack in Turing, I was hooked.
Now I try to find ways to write as little code as possible when solving problems. Succinctness is the path to maintainability!
I started out doing a lot of web development early on. Nowadays I find myself mostly interested in how to effectively develop and maintain any type of software. If it can be continuously integrated and properly tested, I’m game.
Anything by Jimi Hendrix. I love how he channels his music in a beautifully implicit and emotional way. It also reminds me of the most important lessons I learned playing musical solos. It’s not about the mistakes you make, or how far out you go, but how you bring it all back.
I suppose you can apply that to software as well!
Ethel’s Lounge. The food is surprisingly awesome.
I have a cat and she is the coolest. Hi Olivia!
