Thank you!
I can’t understand how the sound quality is so bad from a company like Stack Overflow. Half the time the host sounds like he’s underwater. Otherwise amazing 😆

Had a leave this review as I do not want to put up with bad audio quality. I am referring to the ‘developer skill you don’t want to neglect’ in Jan 2025 episode. Please respect your listeners and do something about it as your content is great.
If you are software engineer and you don’t know or use stack overflow probably you are living under a rock :). In terms of this podcast, Ben, Ryan and Era do a fantastic job. The audio quality is above par, the length of the episodes 25-30 mins is just right not too short and not too long.
The types of content covered is also great, from companies (sometimes might feel a bit salesy but still good) and individuals who have done the work in the weeds is great to listen to. Keep up the great work!... more
