4.7 out of 5 stars from 318 ratings
  • Long time listener; the show is amazing

    Chris and Mike and now just Mike brought/bring so much to this show.

    They spotted docker way before it was cool and interviewed the team behind the project.

    Throughout the years they’ve had awesome interviews, great banter, Jar-Jar guest appearances, it’s just such a good show.

    The back catalog is great for understanding what’s going on in the world and how it will affect both tech workers and the companies they work for.

    7/5 stars.

  • Smarter than me

    I consider myself to be pretty intelligent, listening to a wide variety of podcasts and reading lots of books. But I appreciate being able to listen to two people who are definitely smarter than me.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

657: The Art of Code w/ Sandrine Banas
Q: Who's your ideal reader for the book?
The ideal reader is a junior to intermediate developer who can benefit from chapters on creativity, problem-solving methodologies, and the craft of writing readable, maintainable code.
657: The Art of Code w/ Sandrine Banas
Q: What is the secret to The Art of Code?
The secret lies in starting very small and emphasizing a creative, methodical approach to problem solving, rather than relying solely on AI, while maintaining a strong focus on code quality and maintainability.
656: Back to School 26
Q: What about documenting an existing app when the original developer is unavailable?
Tools like Claude Code can generate documentation, but you should still manually walk through the app to truly understand and document its behavior across screens and platforms.
656: Back to School 26
Q: Should I use AI tools for university homework?
Only if you use them as a learning aid rather than a shortcut; use it to understand concepts, not to produce ready-made work, and be mindful of potential faculty tools to detect AI usage.
656: Back to School 26
Q: I'm thinking of switching my major from computer science to pure mathematics; will that enable me to get a job in software development?
Not necessarily; many people land jobs without CS degrees, and pure math can still be relevant, but it tends to be easier to get the first gig with a CS background.
