    Adversarial Distancing, Episode 4: Joel's Fizz Buzz Book

    It turns out Joel wrote another book: Ten Essays on Fizz Buzz (Quarantine does strange things to a person.) In this episode Andrew and Joel discuss Fizz Buzz, what makes the book interesting, the value of deconstructing problems in different ways, Joel's side career in acting, why fluffy talks are easier to write than technical talks, the importance of staying fresh, whether "blocklist admin" is the job of the future, Minecraft classes, and how the quarantine is affecting our kids. Please listen to it.

    Adversarial Distancing, Episode 3: Two Conversations with Jowanza

    About a month ago we recorded a podcast with Jowanza Joseph about engineering and COVID-19 and other mundane topics. While I (Joel) was procrastinating on editing it, a lot happened in the world. And then Jowanza wrote a blog post about his experiences with racism and how they've affected his life. Which made it feel really weird to just put out an episode with him that doesn't mention any of these issues. So the three of us went back into the (metaphorical) studio and recorded another episode mostly about his blog post, about racism, and about the state of the world. (As always, we are incapable of staying 100% on-topic, but we did pretty good.) These aren't necessarily easy topics to discuss, but I think we did a respectful job of it, and I hope you find it interesting and worthwhile. The original podcast episode follows the new one, so you get two episodes in one. Please listen to it.
