freeCodeCamp: Which Devs Are Screwed?
Mar 1701:29:33Tap to summarizeQuincy Larson over at freeCodeCamp had me on their podcast to discuss how the rapidly changing software industry is impacting junior developers and what they can do about it. I don't normally spend time talking about this stuff, because I started programming in the 90s and can't claim to know anything about what it's like to just be starting now. I've also always discouraged people from getting into software development unless they're super passionate about it, which has been out of step with the "learn to code" hype train that gathered steam over the last fifteen years only to run into a brick wall recently. His audience is way larger and composed of quite different people than those who follow my stuff, so I strongly recommend you read every last YouTube comment. Some pretty crazy shit, if I'm being honest. Makes me glad I don't have 11 million subscribers.

Dead Code: Fear-driven Everything
Oct 801:00:49Tap to summarizeJared Norman interviewed me after he wrote about the order in which programmers choose to write their code and I offered this response. In this episode, we touch on this before launching into a more expansive discussion on why the agile movement fizzled out and what we can reclaim from a developer workflow perspective now that we're experiencing our first major market upheaval since then with the rise of coding agents.

Changelog: Saltiness about frostiness
Jun 1402:06:59Tap to summarizeJerod and I sat down after WWDC to rifle through Apple's various announcements and dish our takes. As usual, we found a lot to like and (IMNSHO) did a better job than other commentators in ignoring the idle chatter on social media that tends to dominate WWDC discourse in favor of the more meaningful changes the keynote heralds.
