Customer Reviews
Great digestible episodes, always packing golden nuggets of info
Absolutely love this podcast! Each episode always has at least a few gems of wisdom from either the guest or Jack that I can take to building my own stuff. It’s such a specific topic, I was really surprised I found a podcast this high quality on building developer focused products.
The episodes also always jump straight to the point and never hang around longer than they need to.
Fantastic podcast!
Highly recommended
