Awesome

It is one of the best programming podcasts around.

Episode 92 was brilliant

As an a full time iOS developer whose interest in Swift and iOS came from an immense passion for being creative and entrepreneurial, Server Side Swift is a huge positive for both these fronts. Having recently used the native MongoDB driver, I can safely say that Kaitlin and her teammates are doing a wonderful job!!
Episode 92 was really enjoyable and exciting with async await on the horizon and hearing that 2.0 of the MongoDB driver is being worked on!!
More Server Side Swift talks would be great.

Fantastic Podcast

Really impressed with the variation of guest speakers and topics. Only feedback I'd give is maybe chill on the indie developer front. Feels like every guest is indie lately. Keep it up!
