Oracle Groundbreakers Podcast #368 features a conversation with the winners of the 2019 Oracle Groundbreaker Awards. The discussion covers their career journeys, their thoughts on where software development is today, and on where it’s going tomorrow.
But before we meet the award winners, a little background on the Oracle Groundbreaker Awards is in order.
Launced in 2018, the Oracle Groundbreaker Awards recognize developers who exhibit not only extraordinary technical skill, but also the ability to inspire others, and the vision to bring the future a little closer. Nominations are submitted by the Oracle developer community, and a short list of developers is chosen from among those nominees. From that short list the community then selects the four award winners.
The winners for 2019 were announced and introduced at the Oracle Code event in New York City on May 21, 2019. And now you get to meet them in this podcast.
Oracle Groundbreaker Podcast number 368 was recorded on June 19, 2019.

"Whatever we create is not going to be good enough the first timewe create it. Approach somebody who has experience, or even somebody who has a different perspective, and show them what you have created. Ask them for feedback. Ask them how to improve it. That's a really good way to learn."
Raphael Winterhalter Founder, Byte Buddy Oslo, Norway
"It's very easy to get distracted in the software industry. There are so many technologies, frameworks, and things to know. Find something you like and stick to it and become good at it. And don't be afraid of missing out. That's not a thing that really happens."
