  • Best podcast in the Java community

    Difficult to find so much knowledge for free. It’s highly recommended to anyone in the Java community who wants to get inspired by amazing Java contributors and speakers. Each episode will teach you something new or make you think about different points of view in the software engineering habitat.

    Gracias Josh!

  • If you care about Spring, listen to this!

    Good guests, interesting subjects. Can definitely recommend.

    Only downsides: Josh can ramble a bit much and you may need to skip some pointless 10 minutes spent talking about coffee and commutes that would’ve been better spent talking with the guest about their actual expertise. And he should show a bit more spine and ask some critical questions or disagree with the speaker.

  • So much Doge! Brain expanding!

    I started listening passively. Then I found myself quoting and thinking more about the episodes for days after I heard them. I decided to restart the series from the beginning. The second time through I learned even more. It’s amazing to me that there is so much knowledge and insight in such a young show. Easy to consume. Great dialogue. Tons of education. If you get the chance, I highly recommend it. It is so choice!
