This Developer's Life
5.0.2 Reboot
Life is long. A series of chapters as you move from one scene to the next. Childhood, becoming a young adult, possibly a parent at some point, and more. But how much more? We talk to two people who are well into their later chapters. Scott talks to Lawrence Lockhart about reinventing yourself well into midlife. Rob talks to his mom, who, in her early 80s, was far from her final chapter.

5.0.1 Voice
What do you do when your voice gains an audience? Do you rattle cages or open doors? That's what we talk about in this episode.

Rob talks to April Edwards [https://peeifyouwanttogofaster.com/] about being an ally, listening, and shutting up.

3.0.1 Cancer
Big thanks from both my wife and myself for the outpouring of support after our Cancer announcement [http://www.hanselman.com/blog/Cancer.aspx]. Last year was a long year and the Cancer part of the year was particularly long. We were very private about the whole thing and waited to tell anyone until we knew we were mostly OK. However, to my surprise, the day of the diagnosis my wife, who has never shown much interested in podcasting announced "I want to record an audio Cancer Diary. Can you do that?" So we did. We honestly didn't know if we were going to publish this when we started but after a month of editing late into the night, we are. This episode of This Developer's Life takes a half year of our lives and many, many hours of audio and turns it into a single hour show that Mo and I are happy to share it with you today. I hope you enjoy the show and that you and yours are, and remain, healthy. Music The music tracks this week are used under Creative Commons.
