  • Tech Talk That Actually Keeps You Interested

    Mostly Technical is one of those podcasts that makes you feel smarter without putting you to sleep. The hosts have great chemistry and break down complex topics in a way that’s super relatable. It’s technical, yeah—but also funny, laid-back, and easy to follow. Perfect for devs, tinkerers, or anyone who likes geeking out without getting overwhelmed.

The on-prem version is a standard PHP app that can be downloaded and installed. We used to have an installer but got rid of it since managing installations became cumbersome.

Q: What kind of methodology and tools do you use in your respective work for software development?
We use Basecamp and Slack heavily at my previous job, and now I rely on GitHub issues for task management.
39: Mostly HVAC with Dan Myers, CEO of Flair
Q: Should Aaron first go to an HVAC guy?
Dan suggests starting with a remote sensor strategy as a first step before involving an HVAC professional, to identify if there are enough temperature changes to warrant further modifications.
