  • Absolutely facinating

    I have been in the "for good" Software Engineering industry for about 16 years now and always had an admiration for the work MSR do. These sessions are fascinating whilst making them accessible to the general populace, explaining them at a funamental and understandable level. For anyone looking to understand the great work MSR do and hear what amazing things they do beyond "business apps" I wholehartedly recommend this Podcast.
