  • Topics great, sound quality?

    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 😆

  • 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
