As a casual listener of Lex's podcasts, my position is now to ignore him unless a good reason for this guest right now can be made clear. I can imagine Lex himself talking about openness and diversity etc but this just reeks of opportunism.
- lemondrink 4y agoThat’s what it is. Lex comments that he doesn’t care about the “clickbait” and that he likes Kayne as an artist, but he spends 85+% of the interview talking about the famous Kayne tweet. It’s nothing more than cashing a check on the back of a man who is suffering a public mental breakdown.
- pathartl 4y agoI've only watched Lex's episode with Carmack and I just don't understand the appeal. It was like listening to a junior frontend dev stumble around programming topics with buzzwords. Maybe I just watched one episode and got a bad taste, but the questions weren't great and somehow Carmack still was able to give interesting answers.
- baby 4y agoThat wasn’t a great one, but there are better ones
- EdwardKrayer 4y agoI assume approaching his guests as a layman allows his viewers to scratch the surface of tech/science/topics potentially inaccessible to people outside of the normal scope.
- jackosdev 4y agoI like Lex, he's very open and wears his heart on his sleeve, he gets good answers sometimes because he's fearless with the questions he asks. His first intrview with Jim Keller is my fav ever and changed my life perspective after some of the gold Lex gets out of him. But yeah his programming knowledge seems very limited, same level as most Machine Learning engineers with science backgrounds.
