In this episode, I'm joined by John Knott, a Principal Developer with 45 years of experience in software development. John and I work together at the same medical device company, and he brings a wealth of knowledge from his extensive career, spanning from the early days of Apple II to the cutting-edge medical apps of today. Topics covered in this episode include: - How John began his remarkable career in software development. - The role and responsibilities of a Principal Engineer. - The unique challenges and rewards of developing medical apps versus regular apps. - An evaluation of TCA (The Composable Architecture) and whether it's a good architecture choice.
