  • Finally Found a Dev Pod for All Levels

    I love this podcast. I have been looking for a dev podcast that isn't just for beginners. I started in 2020 and am now ready to find a new mid-level position. These tips are great for growing in the field. Love that they are POC and their guests are diverse, as I can choose what fits my brain. I'm shocked that more people aren't listening but I guess I'll keep the gems for myself! Wish I could give back to you guys. I hope to help someone else in this way someday too.

  • Excellent podcast

    I have been looking for a podcast for years regarding coding and nothing ever clicked. Once I heard these guys do tips a senior dev does I was hooked.

    I don’t want to listen to some explain line by line how to code. I want to hear how developers solved problems and grew into new roles.

  • Actionable items, huge gems

    I’ve been following Leon and Danny individually for a couple years. When they joined forces I probably screamed. They both provide their perspectives on huge talking points in tech, and almost always give you a list of actionable items to get that needle moving. Definitely worth following and binge listening!
