In this episode of ClueCon Weekly, we're back with Part 2 of our conversation with Guy Royce, Developer Advocate at Redis. This time, we dive into a fascinating and deeply personal topic: Guy’s experience teaching programming to inmates in prison. From “Coding in the Clink” to helping former inmates launch careers in tech—including at places like Google—Guy shares how technology can be a powerful tool for rehabilitation and opportunity.
We also get into ham radio—what it is, why it still matters, and how it intersects with modern software development. Whether you're curious about building packet radio networks or just want to hear how you can check email over the airwaves, this episode has you covered.
Plus, Guy gives us a peek into his upcoming conference schedule, and we chat about the enduring value of learning through tinkering—especially when the internet isn't an option.
