Jon Skeet, the first Stack Overflow user with a million reputation, sits down with Ryan to share his wealth of knowledge on all things development: the deceptively simple but actually complicated problem of timezones, the importance of clear documentation for programmers, handling breaking changes and upgrading legacy systems, and the need for improved communication skills among developers.
Jon Skeet, for those not in the know, is legendary here at Stack Overflow. He even got his own Chuck Norris Facts-style jokes.
Jon has graced the podcast before in the early days on episodes 4, 72, and 123.
He’s so good at answering Stack Overflow questions that he appeared at Stack Overflow’s old NYC office and answered them in person.
While he’s not the only million rep user, he was the first, so we ran the numbers on him.
