EPISODE CONTENTS

For this podcast episode, I was lucky to interview Ian Hobson: a former DJ who transitioned to audio programming, worked at Ableton, and then launched a successful freelancing career.

Ian is well-known in the community for his talks on Rust at the Audio Developer Conferences and on YouTube. He’s also created his own programming language: Koto.

We met at the Audio Developer Conference 2022 and he was kind enough to agree on recording an interview with him. I must say that after recording the podcast, I respect his drive to continuously learn and improve even more!

Ian shares a ton of useful knowledge on

✔ freelancing,
✔ Rust for audio programming,
✔ learning Rust,
✔ self-organization,
✔ learning DSP,
✔ maintaining the internal drive in the professional career,
✔ and more!

I highly encourage you to listen to the podcast in full!

In this podcast episode, you will learn:

✅ how Ian got into DJ-ing and how he then went back to the univerisity to become an audio programmer
✅ how he landed his job at Ableton
✅ why he started exploring Rust for audio
✅ why is Rust more programmer-friendly than C++
✅ how to become a freelancer in the audio programming space
✅ how to stay organized as a freelancer
✅ what is Ian’s go-to tech stack at the moment.

The episode was recorded on November 3, 2023.
