In today’s episode, we talk about open source, developer communities, and side-projects. Jesse Luoto from Reaktor Helsinki shares his hard-earned lessons from planning, launching, and promoting dozens of side projects of all shapes and sizes. What’s the right balance between the speed and quality of your open source project? When you should launch, how to promote your work, and how to maintain it with the help of dev communities? Tune in to get answers to these and many more questions.

Guest
Jesse Luoto is a full-stack developer and an open-source advocate at Reaktor. Jesse is driven by imperfection and irritation. He likes to solve practical problems and makes indie games in his free time.
Hosts
Anna Fröblom is a great programmer, problem-solver, hobby photographer, lego enthusiast, and simply a nice person.
Esko Lahti is an engineer who now works in the company that got him into Clojure. Now, his party trick at meetups is to rapid-fire through an extensive list of parentheses jokes.
