“Nubank Launches Tech Podcast ‘The Hammock’ to Promote Skills and Career Development”

The Brazilian fintech company Nubank has launched a new technology podcast called “The Hammock” aimed at contributing and generating recognition for professionals and enthusiasts in the technology market. The podcast, presented by Nubank’s software engineering team, will include discussions focused on relevant topics in the world of technology, engineering practices, and career development.

According to Christian Romney, Director of Engineering at Nubank and one of the podcast’s presenters, the goal of the podcast is to provide valuable insights and perspectives that listeners can apply to their own work. He added that the podcast is an opportunity for engineers to step away from their computers and take a moment to contemplate and reflect.

The first episode of the podcast features an interview with Vitor Olivier, Chief Technology Officer (CTO) and head of Global Platforms at Nubank. Olivier reflects on Nubank’s technical bets, the company’s engineering culture, discusses open source and artificial intelligence, and comments on some of his challenges for 2023.

The name “The Hammock” is a tribute to Rich Hickey, the creator of the Clojure programming language and a distinguished software engineer at Nubank. In his lecture entitled “Hammock Driven Development,” Rich emphasized the importance of stepping away from the computer to reflect on problems.

The podcast will be broadcast in English to spread the content throughout the global software community, and a new episode will be released every month. Listeners will be able to access the podcast on various platforms such as Spotify, Google Podcast, Amazon Music, Apple Music and Anchor.

According to Nubank’s blog, The Hammock was born with the objective of promoting problem-solving skills and increasing awareness about important issues in the software development community.
