Customer Reviews
love the pod
Great smarts guests and the hosts are pretty cool too 🤠
DHH? Gross.
Pretty bummed y’all had DHH on the show. Dude has done so much harm through racist policies at Basecamp and a general sneering attitude to anybody who doesn’t look/act like a white dude. Pass.
SO GOOD
Can’t get enough of this one! Learned so much about WASM and the future of the web
