  • So great- go deeper

    Great podcast. Going deeper into these concepts have really helped me as a senior full stack engineer. There are many surface level podcasts that I have listened to over the years, and they have helped in various degrees. But, listening to this episode in the morning during a run to get inspired for the day has really helped me. It’s have ordered some of the books and look forward to those as well

  • Great content

    Great idea for the podcast. I've been looking for something like that for a long time. The hosts cover great books, which I like.

    However, there was a lot of rumbling, spinning the same idea for too long. I found episodes more interesting when they interviewed somebody.

    Please skip the three-minute podcast ad at the beginning. It is useless.
