  • Audio quality lousy

    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.

  • One of the best sotfware engineering podcasts

    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

  • Self-promotion from a company that hates you

    Yes, ten years ago Stack Overflow was a useful group of web sites. Now it’s just a way of collecting data to be sold as training models for AI. Relicensing means that your contribution of content is strictly one-way - you can write, but you are not allowed to delete! Volunteer moderators are still, unbelievably, being sucked in to working for free unless you count capricious abuse and dismissal as “payment”. As a programmer I truly believe we would be better off if this company no longer existed... more
