  • The real deal

    Hussein Nassar knows his stuff. I’ve been working in big tech and for startups as a software engineer for over a decade and I still enjoy listening to this show to fill gaps in my knowledge. He’s a great teacher with an infectious enthusiasm and endless curiosity for the nitty-gritty details. Simply can’t recommend the show enough to any software engineer!

    Love the show and Nasr!

Plus, please try to lower your EGO,... more
