Lex is great. Some of my favorite episodes of him are with some really cool software engineers.
-- Chris Lattner -> Wrote the LLVM Compiler and lead/(leads?) development of the Swift programming language. Done a bunch of other cool things with RISC-V development too --

-- David Patterson -> Turing Award Winner (Don't remember exactly what this guy did but the podcast was 4.5 hours and I listened to the whole thing so it must have been good) --

He also had a bunch of really good physics and math guys on like Grant Sanderson (3 Blue 1 Brown guy) and Frank Wilcek (Nobel Prize Winner in physics, wrote "A Beautiful Question")
I'd also counter one of the previous comments and say that I think he challenges the controversial people he has on significantly more than almost anyone else doing podcasts right now. That's specifically one of the reasons I like him.
Some other good podcasts though:
PodRocket -> Really good stuff on Web Development and general web technology
Command Line Heros -> Some really good episodes on the history of software. If you're young like I am this podcast gives you a really good rundown as to why things in software are the way they are and how it evolved.
All-In with Chamath, Jason, Sacks & Friedberg-> Great podcast for learning about how the tech ecosystem operates on a large scale. It's 4 guys who have been extremely successful in the tech/VC world and they breakdown current events in tech. I feel like it provides really good insight into where the tech world is/is going and also if you're interested in starting a company it helps wrap your head around the terminology that comes along with raising money and working in that world.
- shinjitsu 4y agoCommand line heroes was amazing, I was bummed they ended - but I guess they did cover a lot. (https://www.redhat.com/en/command-line-heroes https://www.redhat.com/en/command-line-heroes) I'm also a big fan of Coder Radio (https://coder.show/ https://coder.show/) Tagline: "taking a pragmatic look at the art and business of Software Development" They called the layoffs and salary adjustments happening now back in April 2021 If you want to look at software from a non-coastal US perspective (and don't mind occasional [or in early episodes not-so-occsional] profanity) I like Friday afternoon deploy (https://friday.hirelofty.com/ https://friday.hirelofty.com/) I also was to second the Go Time recommendation from another post (https://changelog.com/gotime https://changelog.com/gotime) - while it is Go focused more often than not, in recent months they've done show on intellectual property, tech horror stories and code maintenance
