Choosing technologies for your new company, with Jordi Miró (ex-CTO @ RakutenTV)
Going back a couple years, we recover this interview from one of our first Martian Tech Talk events, with our friend Jordi Miró, who had just quit his job at RakutenTV (formerly known as WuakiTV before the acquisition by the Rakuten group) and was creating his new company, Lernin Games.
For this new venture, Jordi had to go back to coding, so we talked about how to pick the right technologies for a company, both in startups and in big corporations, how to deal with legacy code, how to build teams of developers and keep them engaged through different technological cycles, pair programming, Ruby on Rails, native mobile apps vs hybrid and more.
