Hello and welcome to a new episode of Code && Beyond. A podcast where we talk about software development and anything beyond that.
I'm Pablo and today I'm here with my friend Alex and a new special guest José Doval (Pepe).
Pepe and I have been friends for a long time. We studied CS at the same university and even built a company together (not a very successful one). Back in the day, I used to think that he was a talented software developer who loved chess. These days, I'm not so sure anymore. I'm starting to think that he is a chess player who likes software development :-)
So Pepe, please introduce yourself and let's try to solve this mistery :-)
Q/A
Tell us a bit about yourself and your background.
Do you consider yourself a chess player who codes or the other way around?
Do you see any similarities between playing chess and coding? Anything that can be applied to both worlds?
Does the chess player mind help you in your software developer work?
Do you know how is the state of chess AI? is it used for training? competitions? etc.
Outro
Okay! That's it for today. Thank you for listening! 🙂
