Yay! Another Linux podcast. Maybe it's just me but I can't get into the ones that are out there. Too focused on news or not deep enough. So I tried to make a podcast that I'd want to listen to. One that goes deep and brings in an expert in

Maybe the nature of our conflicts is different. Resolving things at the end is rarely that big of a hassle for us. I'd rather do it all at once after I'm done the work than interrupt my train of thought to fix it at the time.

We get them regularly, maybe a couple a week. But for the most part you know what you are getting into. It usually comes up in code review that there's going to be a problem. What I don't get though is how a realtime notification would help
