Dave SussmanDave has been a writer, trainer and code monkey for most of his life. His programming career is older than some people he knows. Come to think of it, his toaster is older than some people he knows. He's been doing ASP.NET since the very beginning and spends most of his current life working for Gibraltar Software, working on their new Loupe Web application. On Sundays he can be found at The National Museum of Computing at Bletchley Park, playing with old computers.
David SimnerI started playing with computers when I stuffed sweets into my parents' floppy disk drive when I was 5. They weren't happy. When I was 10, I progressed onto something much more fun: coding!
After a brief stint pretending to be an academic, I returned to what I love. For the past 4 years I've been a software developer at Red Gate.
There have been lots of mistakes and learning along the way, but that’s what makes it fun: I now know that “Minimally Viable” includes writing the clean-up code, because otherwise you’ll spend nearly a grand on Amazon S3 before anybody notices; luckily my boss was forgiving.
In my spare time I try to convince my train-obsessed friends to give up their obsession, and despite claiming not to be able to cook, I “product manage” my partner's Fair Trade Cook Book website.
