Chris Vermilion, Senior Software Developer at Remix Labs, joins Corey on Screaming in the Cloud to discuss how he went from working in academia to being a remote software developer based in Maine. Chris describes the start-up ouroboros he observed and how he’s seeing many start-ups shift to solving broader problems, as well as the benefits he’s found to creating communities through Slack and annual conferences. Chris also explains why he left particle physics to live in Maine as a software developer, and the pros and cons to both lifestyles.
