Marcus Ahnve

Technical Principal
@mahnve

I have worked with software development since 1996, mostly creating web based systems. During my career I have worked both as a consultant and in product companies, in roles spanning from backend developer to management consultant.

After trying pure non-technical roles I have found that I enjoy the technical part of software development too much to let it go. These days I try in my work to mix programming assignments with coaching and speaking, helping teams improve their processes and programming skills.

I am currently employed as Technical Principal at Valtech Sweden. My job description includes working as a solution architect, training, speaking, helping our sales team with technical sales, and a bit of development.

These days I prefer to program in Clojure, but I’ve also written a lot of Python and Ruby over the last 8 years. And of course, as anyone exposed to web development, I have also written my share of JavaScript.

As I have done quite a lot of server setups, I’ve become quite proficient with DevOps technologies such as Docker, Ansible and Terraform.

I was lucky enough to get started as a Smalltalk developer at IBM, which exposed me early on to what was to be called Agile methodologies. It was only later when I was introduced to Extreme Programming when I realized that we had been doing things differently.

Having started practicing XP in 2001, I have been very involved in the agile community, and was one of the founders of the Agila Sverige conference in 2008. I still believe that agile methodologies are necessary for a successful product development, but I am also quite disillusioned by what the industry has made out of it. After doing a number of consultancy gigs as an agile coach, I now much prefer to work in development teams, and focusing on actually building something.

If given a choice, I like to work with Open Source technologies. I run Linux on all my computers, and prefer Arch Linux on the desktop and Debian on servers.

Professor of philosophy

Professor of philosophy at the University of Agder. Einar Duenger Bohn was born (1977) and raised in Vormsund, Norway. He has a BA in psychology and philosophy and an MA in philosophy from the University of Oslo. He got his PhD in philosophy from the University of Massachusetts Amherst (2009). His current interest in artificial intelligence (and artificial life) is growing exponentially, and very soon it will be the only thing he is interested in. Right now he is obsessed with the question whether it is possible to create artificial consciousness, and what the answer to that question tells us about our own consciousness and moral thinking. He greatly fears the singularity without the systems being conscious and morally aware. Bohn also has a theory of the meaning of life according to which it's in accordance with the meaning of life to develop as much technology as we can, as long as it's for the better for all. Bohn considers himself a modest transhumanist.
