Almost as good as on the metal.
I’ve been reading Bryan’s posts and watching his technical presentations for years. He has remained a voice of reason and humility in an increasingly noisy technical world. While I’ve enjoyed every episode, my favourite shows are the ones where they deep dive into some obscure bug. I’ve worked in very small startups the last few years, and this show helps a little to fill that missing deep bench of seasoned engineers I enjoyed earlier in my career. Although I don’t quite wish a series of increas... more
I consider myself lucky to be able to understand some of the challenges of building a product at this scale right alongside some of the brilliant folks at Oxide. Their celebration of transparency is so refreshing, and I am learning a TON being able to follow along. Not to mention the banter is just terrific.
I’ve been listening/relistening to this for over a year. Both the banter and problems these guys solve and the way they can communicate them is truly incredible.
Casual discussions as expected with the title of the show, yet deep dive discussions every time new topics are picked up. Therefore can be difficult to follow sometimes but the positive vibes compensate it well.
Suggestion: timestamps on the summary will be helpful to jump on sections. Thanks.
