Today we talk with Chris Frewin, a full-stack software engineer at private experience startup InClub, located in Zurich, Switzerland. Involved with all coding aspects, from the back-end, mobile app, CMS, and everything in-between, we learn about the challenges of being a solo developer at a startup. We learn a lot about Gherkin, the format for cucumber specifications.
