Making the leap from Philosophy to Software Engineering

Caleb Ontiveros, who left the University of Notre Dame’s PhD program in philosophy to pursue a career in tech, is often asked by people studying philosophy how he transitioned to software engineering and programming.

Caleb created the Facebook group, Philosophers in Software Engineering to help others like him. The group’s members collect and share advice for philosophers interested in learning how to program or in careers in software engineering.

In this episode, Caleb chats with Ledge about philosophical thinking in software, and how software can enhance philosophical thinking.
