Thank you!

Note: I wanted to thank you again for these data points. I appreciate that you didn't have to put that effort in and I have now officially decided to go with "lgtm: shipit" And I even made an issue in the github repo to tha

I actually laughed a little at this one > “you should not have made this” ... because that was 100% my initial reaction. I was like "oh shit, I just got internetted" I bounced back pretty quickly... for a few reasons. I&#x27

edit - per the other discussion in the thread I've gone with renaming the podcast to "LGTM: Shipit!" which will hopefully make it a little more discoverable. I don't expect as many people have the acronym for "Loo

> So let me ask ... when you're listening to podcasts, do you ever take anything away from them that is actionable? Do you take notes? Do you summarise? I can answer this a little from my perspective. There are three major inspirati

IIRC it was what you'd get to as an assistant headteacher with headteacher at just over 100k at the top of the scale. Though this was nearly 15 years ago so I could be misremembering

Not at all harsh! And super super valuable. So genuinely, thank you for this. SEO and discoverability are critical. It is abundantly clear to me that I've got to workshop the name. The categories are - "say-able" can a list

This is brilliant! Especially for those times when you have internet issues on one end or another. At the very least you don't lose your content.

Sorry you're getting downvoted on this post. I found your data point useful. Even though I disagree that there are enough podcasts serving the senior developer / corporate programmer niche, being made aware of the existence of &qu

You don't even know how valuable this is to me at this exact moment in time. My first interview is tomorrow night! Fortunately, it is with a friend and co-worker who has the hacker mindset and will be willing to work through hiccups in

Thank you! This is exactly the type of recommendation that I was hoping for. I'd have been happy with the mention even if it was an ad.

100% there are services! I believe that Azure ML/AI has a natural text transcription service. In theory I could try and tweet at Seth Juarez@microsoft to see if I can get a sweetheart deal. But the more I think about the previous post

I'll take that on board! Thanks. For Episode 0 I did post the full text of my script in the description, but I do think that for the actual interviews I won't be able to afford a transcription service for a while. For the last few

Thanks! I've been able to find it on a few platforms so far, but I'm distributing via anchor.fm https://anchor.fm/ship-it I'll have to find a way to differentiate my ship-it from others for people searching.

What's a funny coincidence is that I've been thinking about almost exactly this for a little while. Just in the last two weeks I decided to create a podcast where I interview the exact types of developers who optimize SQL inside b

I was a teacher in England in my 30's and my starting salary was something like £18k. £90k was something that you'd take 10 or 20 years to get to.

In terms of feedback on the title, I'm going to say that I feel really burned by the phrase "think globally, act locally" I was around 8 years old when I first heard the phrase (in the 80's) We've known for longer t

This would be my guess. There are a lot of things in CSS that need specialist knowledge.

It is a bit falicous to imply SQL is the same everywhere. If you move from postgres to sql server to mysql to oracle you'll see there are major differences in how things are done. Sure, your select and join is mostly the same, maybe wi

Just look at what the facebook algorithm is doing. By optimizing for engagement it is pushing outrage-generating content turning people against each other. 800,000 people in Myanmar have been displaced because they had to flee their countr

Other than Russia, does any other nation state have a major problem with NATO? Is there any reason to be opposed to the existence of NATO other than: "I'd really like to invade country X, but can't because it's mean reta

Do what you like. You’re the one who started with describing themselves as "extremely pissed" over the subtitle. I know you might not believe this, but women in some parts of the world are still treated as minorities in 2018. Po

by alexc05 8y ago
I think "extremely pissed" is either hyperbolic or histrionic in this case. The "without women" line is a micro-aggression at best. If that is actually rage-inducing, I’d suggest you’re probably spending too much time on

That sounds like the kind of Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt (FUD) that would be really easy for motivated parties to spread. If organizations like the Competitive Enterprise Institute & Heritage Foundation, are willing to produce videos w

Is this a plan to eliminate mosquitoes? Are there concerns about eliminating an entire tier of the food chain? Surely this would be bad for the things that eat mosquitoes. And the things that eat those things etc.
