Amazing if you work with legacy code

Robby has a way of asking people questions that get to the heart of issues. After being in the industry for quite a few years and seeing everything from outsourcing to investment bank legacy to startup. I find myself reliving moments listening this podcast. Would definitely recommend to every engineer for their morning commute.
