Practical Interviews with DevTools founders and people working at DevTools. Mostly on the growth side
Absolutely love this podcast! Each episode always has at least a few gems of wisdom from either the guest or Jack that I can take to building my own stuff. It’s such a specific topic, I was really surprised I found a podcast this high quality on building developer focused products.
The episodes also always jump straight to the point and never hang around longer than they need to.
Highly recommended
