Andy is annoyed that so much free and open source software is hosted on a proprietary platform that’s owned by Microsoft. There are plenty of alternatives to GitHub, but ultimately the network effect is why so many people host their code there.
If you want to be a good developer, how many different programming languages should you learn? Maybe becoming an expert in one specific language is the way to go. Maybe it’s more a case of learning different concepts and paradigms than language
Forks are a fundamental aspect of open source software so we get into the different types of forks, when and why you might want to fork a project, the maintenance burden that comes with a hard fork, the importance of winning mindshare for your
We are joined by Allan Jude to talk about what it’s like to run a company that develops and maintains open source software with a focus on upstreaming as much code as possible. Klara November 2023 FreeBSD Vendor Summit – The Value of Upstream
Andy is a huge proponent of test-driven development and explains why – including types of code testing including unit tests and integration tests, when you actually need to run tests, how long they should take, and more. Emily Bache cyber‑doj
Kevin and Andy answer Joe’s noob questions about development including the differences between compiled and interpreted languages, C vs C++, why the Linux kernel is written in C, Go vs Rust, and what memory safety means. Kolide Kolide ens

We follow up on last episode with some clarifications from Amolith about code collaboration. Plus we get into development workflows in general, code review, the paradigms we couldn’t do without, and more. With guest host Linus. Amolith mentio
When it comes to collaboration workflows, Amolith dislikes the pull request model that GitHub made popular and much prefers the email/patch-based approach. Kevin does his best to get to the bottom of why, and Joe wonders if it might come down t
Linux Downtime is now Linux Dev Time! In this first episode we talk about “sharpening our tools” – changing your dev tools, trying out new languages, using existing code vs writing something new, how to get over creative blocks, and more. How
Kevin joins us to talk about the hype that surrounds some programming languages like Rust and Python, how some languages like Java went out of fashion, and why the likes of PHP never saw much hype at all. With guest host Jim from 2.5 Admins.
There’s a meme that software developers should be forced to use low end hardware to experience what it’s like to be a real user. So what hardware should devs actually use to test their software? How does this differ for GUI and CLI applications
We are joined by Roger Light to discuss what it’s like to work for a company that uses the open core model — maintaining an open source project and offering additional paid for proprietary features. With guest host Jim from 2.5 Admins. Mosqui
We are joined by Marcin Kulik – the creator and maintainer of asciinema. We talk about the project itself, developing on Linux, IDEs, targetting a technical audience, the advantages of writing for a command line interface, why -R is always wron

We are joined by Element developer Andy Balaam to talk about working on open source software after 20 years in the proprietary world. We get into working in public, the realities of accepting code contributions, being part of a distributed team
We are all on board with the right to be forgotten but it can cause some tricky problems for open source projects – particularly small ones. Plus why we won’t stop going on about why we take such a dim view of crypto. Amolith mentioned a toot f
