  • Surprisingly philosophical

    I went in thinking I would get an interesting conversation between two coders about code. I got that, but also much more. Tangents into consciousness, infinity, and other philosophical topics make this show stand out.

  • A top recomendation

    I have been following this podcast from the start. Jason’s relaxed easy going style and willingness to dig into the why of a topic is just one of the values you can get out of this podcast. So much is learned from the tangents, that often occur, while talking with guest that those side-tracks are icing on the cake. I find myself sharing links to many of the episodes with my team since the topics are so pertinent to current development ideals.
