#179 Adrian Colyer went from developer to living under constant jet lag and back

Adrian took us back to his first line of code on a ZX-Spectrum. We then brushed over his computer science studies and landed at IBM. We talked about how he discovered Java and AspectJ. We discussed how it led him to speak at conferences and stumble upon Spring. We then talked about his role moving out of IBM into SpringSource, then VMWare, and Pivotal. Finally, Adrian dropped a learning-related gem to close the show! We finished by talking about his transition to investment as a technical person and his role at Accel.
