Valuable for All Developers
04/11/2023
I am a Python developer and derive a lot of value and enjoyment from the podcast despite the fact that the hosts are Ruby developers. The podcast does an excellent job in presenting topics of interest to all software developer, so don’t be put off by the hosts “day jobs.”
Informative and just plain good radio

The two co-hosts have chemistry and the show is also well edited. It wouldn't surprise me if somebody on the team has radio experience. The show sounds like a bubbly chat ar the coffee machine between two senior engineers. On the technical side it definitely leans toward Ruby on Rails subjects. It doesn't dive deep into any particular topic, so I in that sense can't say I've "learned" anything from it. It's a good way to stay aware of current software trends. It's where I first heard about Tailwind CSS or that Cypress tests help you write more accessible websites. I often leave an episode with the thought, "Oh, that sounds cool. Let me check this out." From the topics covered it sounds like the hosts are in their 30s. They're drifting away from technical questions and more toward project management and leadership. For example "How do we mentor junior devs in a remote office?" or "How do I balance my time between managing and building?" One final kudos: so many people talk a big game about accessibility. They walk the walk. Each episode has a full transcript.

One of the best tech podcasts. Highly recommend!

Despite being a side project of Thoughtbot, this podcast is surprisingly well produced and always has interesting guests and topics. Even though it might seem a bit lazy, I actually like that they source a lot of their guests internally because it seems like all the guests and hosts are automatically a lot more comfortable with each other and can dive right into deeper topics. I also like that they bounce around different ecosystems and don't only talk about Ruby or Elixir or JS or whatever. A really unique and fun podcast.
