Meet Eric Peters
This is the third in a multi-part series, “Better Know Your Team Lead.” Next up is Eric Peters, who will be leading the .NET team in Dev Derby 2010. Taking a page from Marcel Proust, James Lipton, and now SociaLens, we’re asking the same series of thought-provoking questions to everyone we profile.
Eric Peters, .NET Team Lead
Eric has been involved with technology since a very young age, tinkering with electronics and computers since the 8-bit days. He studied Computer Science at IU, and has worked for several local startups over the years. Currently, he works with an incredible Agile development team in Bloomington writing C#, SQL, and JavaScript in an ASP.NET environment. In his spare time, he codes Project Euler challenges, reads about technology, and does an exceptionally poor job of playing chess.
WHAT MADE YOUR FAVORITE WORD YOUR FAVORITE WORD?
It would have to be its raw power, its elegance and succinctness, and its unusually melodic tone. Saying it is quite pleasing, but the rhythm of it draws you in like none other. It is truly a deeply magical word.
WHICH FAULT DO YOU TOLERATE MOST?
Finding fault.
HOW DOES YOUR HERO OR HEROINE INSPIRE YOU?
I am inspired by those who quietly do for others.
WHAT IS YOUR IDEA OF HAPPINESS?
I went for a long walk in the woods yesterday. I had no electronics, was miles away from anything “modern”, and the loudest noise I heard for hours was my feet breaking fallen twigs. I think happiness comes from that kind of peace.
WHEN TWITTER TAKES OVER GRAVEYARDS, WHAT WILL YOUR TOMBSTONE READ?
I’m sorry, Dave. I’m afraid I can’t do that.
