By now you know the catchy tunes of Jonathan Coulton, and that he’s performing at this year’s TwilioCon. But, who knew that the nerd rocker also worked as a barista before becoming a software programmer, and eventually a full time musician?

We talked with Jonathan about his upcoming performance, how he first learned to code, his admiration of Justin Timberlake and what the old engineering adage “F**k It Ship It” means to a songwriter.
