Imagine Andreas going around making annoying electronic sounds all the time.

Strike that. Andreas and Lars discuss using less power - less fancy abstractions - to make things easier to understand. And…

How do people learn about licenses?

If you entered into software in a certain way, it's easy to assume that everyone is a part-time license attorney. But how do other people pick up license knowledge?…

Everyone's favorite idempotent podcast returns to discuss learning new languages and concepts. Can mixing and matching new concepts and syntax help or hinder language adoption? A new concept but a fa…

Wherein the wonders of C are explored.

But first, let Andreas tell you what's so great about Chalmers' approach to teaching computer engineering. Spoiler: starting with Haskell, close to math.

The tool…

What is functional programming?

Andreas grabs his whiteboard and his Turing machine, and starts from laziness, while Lars thinks of immutability, functions, and data.

Is syntax important for being func…

Lars wants a less demanding way to prepare for giving talks, but he doesn't have the time right now.

Andreas knows a cheat code for public speaking. Lars uses slides like a blunt instrument.

How should…

What are people talking about when they talk about developer experience? Pretty colors in the terminal?

What is worth improving, what is not? Lars has thoughts about all of developer experience, not l…

Andreas' place of work ceased to exist.

It was mostly a relief.

The main worry is about resting and recovering enough before whatever comes next begins. All the learnings about how not to do certain th…

CRUD - a classic term among supposedly simple web apps. But, not always the right move? Not always all that mappable to the actual problem?

Discussed: picking spicy architectures, non-CRUD data storag…

Embedded is a weird thing. Lars is all Nerves and tries to explain and report from a world where people know part numbers off the top of their heads. The physical device missing is rarely a thing tha…

Andreas is a man of many hobbies. Interviewing for example. But sometimes, you get strange questions from strange people, end up feeling scared, or start lying just a bit. Then, perhaps, you tell the…

Stories about Ecto quickly redeeming itself, and of what it takes to introduce foreign keys.

Some of us are super comfortable referencing the ID. Lars dislikes that Ecto needs to be more complicated b…

Fredrik wants to think about long-lived code. Lars is offended, Andreas only a little bit so.

Are there other good software development practices out there? Other than the ones focusing on building so…

The Saint Valentine's peak passed without issue. Andreas had time for semlor.

Lars has opinions on semlor, and can imagine many possible improvements. Like having an apple. Or a pizza.

Lars has had a n…

Andreas tells the story of a old system which suddenly exhibited a new and frightening bug. Lars shares similar experiences of things going wrong in new and novel ways.

When things do go wrong, it is …

Lars dove into data pipelines, and emerged bearing arrows and wishing for a lot fewer copies.

What is there to think about regarding data pipelines, what is interesting about them?

Which tools are out …

GenServers are fun! Andreas gives all the context. Things were learned, knowledge was aquired. You can do so much with GenServers, but make sure you have a good reason.

If you don't watch out, this is…

Every web app starts out fine, the tabula rasa of an unwritten BODY. But sooner or later you need users. And a million other things which live in trees.

Also: email.

And that layer between the controll…

The software development industry is very much built for code nerds. It shouldn’t be.

Many of us know many people who are really into coding. Not every working developer can, or even should, be though…
