Our friend Ron Evans is a <a href="https://hybridgroup.com/">technologist for hire</a>, an <a href="https://tinygo.org">open source developer</a>, an author, a speaker, an iconoclast, and one of our favorite people in tech. This conversation with Ron goes everywhere: from high-altitude weather balloons, to life on Mars, to Zeno’s paradox applied to ML, to what open source devs should learn from the Wu-Tang Clan & more.
