learningtool

I heard only parts of the podcast, what I believe he said: His best tool is emacs, travels about every three months, emphasizes the importance of marketing, get many clients from reading his blog, he doesn't like to be payed with equity, a big program is the refrigerator is always at hand. I didn't hear anything about a concrete project, perhaps because of NDAs, and if you are curious the interviewer/podcaster likes to travel and traves all around the world.

A good suggestion seems to be not to read a lot of books, but to put intro practice what you read and apply it to problems you need to solve, that way you learn a lot more effectively
