In this episode I interview dad, developer, FOSS nerd, and mental health advocate Ed Finkler, aka Funkatron. We discuss his Open Sourcing Mental Illness speaking campaign, a campaign with the aim of changing how we talk about mental illness in the tech community. You'll also learn a little bit about graph databases, how Ed got into programming, and much more.
