  • Love the show hate the intro

    I love the show and the content. The new intro, however, makes me want to throw my phone out the window every time I hear it. It literally makes me want to stop listening to the podcast episode.

  • Eh

    Dropped this podcast after the Temporal episode, which seemed to be mostly complaining about Twitter and people who self-host, rather than pay for the guest’s employer’s managed service. More informative talks, less poorly disguised sales pitches couched in a lot of strange bitterness, please.

  • leftist/democrat morons

    He has no problem with Twitter and all fascist commie democrats’ activist tech political censorship, lying, election interference, etc, but Twitter bought by Elon Musk, OH NO! Absolute dishonesty and delusion to claim you like mastodon for open ness, when all of you were fine with fascist/commie democrat twitter and all tech bias. Very transparent. Very dumb.
