Nice to hear from you guys! Please keep it going
So great to have my favorite podcast back!
I understand you spend less time on the show but I miss the early days when we had real deep dive into the code. I don’t want to hear on UIKit CollectionViews… And you always focus too much on “indie” developers and never on Enterprise development which is quite different than n many ways. But I enjoyed my time with you and recommend the show for young developers.
An excellent podcast, always very interesting.
Good chemistry, uniques perspectives while maintaining positive and constructive tones.
Key themes from listener reviews, highlighting what works and what could be improved about the show.
