Customer Reviews
So far great!
Love this show. Each episode has something they've experienced which maps to my own experience in long-running codebases.
Great Perspetives on Keeping Software Alive
Absolutely my favorite podcast. Robby does a great job covering the breadth of the industry and getting different insights and perspectives about what it takes to ensure a codebase can survive the test of time, employee turnover, industry changes, and so much more.
It’s refreshing to get insights that balance technical idealism with the reality that building software is messy work done by imperfect humans who also have goals outside of writing that next line of code.
Hidden Gem
There is a treasure trove of insight about the actual technologies developers use to build an application.
