Functional Geekery Episode 140 - Katja Mordaunt and Adam Warski

This week I speak to Katja Mordaunt. In her day to day work, she is a freelance web developer, but for today’s episode, we focus on her work starting the Code Reading Club. The club is based on the idea that surprisingly little attention is given to teach developers how to properly read and understand code. The club aims to address this by teaching participants a range of techniques through carefully designed exercises. Katja clearly explains exactly what’s involved in these exercises later in the episode. The idea for Code Reading Club was born when Katja heard Felienne Hermans, a previous guest on this podcast, speak about her book, the Programmer’s brain, so make sure to find that episode too. Find out more about Code Reading Club here: https://codereading.club/
