606: Coder's Next Steps
A brief important update from Chris about some upcoming changes to the podcast.
605: The Democrats Behind DeepSeek
DeepSeek has everyone freaking out; we'll look at what's legitimately fascinating, what bits have been an overreaction, and the big mistake that made this all possible.
Plus, there's some bad news for Java fans.
604: The Startup Myth
We dig into the Rails 8 Solid Trifecta, our thoughts on why fewer developers are taking jobs at startups, and a new buzzphrase: Framework Fatigue.
603: COSMIC Defenders
The CEO who bet on SwiftUI—and lost their job. Then poke some fun at Rust stans, SalesForce claims they're not hiring any developers in 2025, and more!
602: Dude, You're Getting a Dell Pro Max Micro Plus!
CES 2025 Secrets Revealed: A developer’s dream or just more hype? Plus, NVIDIA flexes its AI muscles, and we're admittedly impressed. Then, our thoughts on Dell's historic rebrand.
601: The 10X Exec
Some debates never die, and this week, we’re reigniting one of our spiciest from the archives. Plus, our boldest 2025 predictions yet.
600: Mikestrodamus
We’re taking a victory lap down memory lane. From spooky-accurate predictions to "did we really say that?" moments, this one’s for the history books.
599: GPU Game Theory
Sam's Checkmate: How Open Source AI and Silicon Valley Kingmakers dethroned the OpenAI emperor! Plus, Tesla's API Apocalypse has arrived.
598: No Code is just Other People's Code
GitHub has done the research, brought the receipts, and knows just what to do to get more developers into the flow state. Is it legit or hype? We’ll dig in. Plus, making the case that Rails is better low code than low code, and we help someone go from Pizza to Rust.
597: Make Google Great Again
A survey found that nearly 10% of developers are ghosts doing nothing - our thoughts on that, AI Big Brother as a service comes to the workplace, OpenAI's NYT standoff, and Google's growing problem.
596: Chrome For Sale
We react to Microsoft's new vision for the desktop PC, discuss the realities of working with large dependency chains in your projects, and discuss Google selling off Chrome. Then, we read some spicy tech CEO emails!
595: Year of the Snake
Python's eating the world - and AI's helping it digest. A cheeky look at why this programming language is suddenly everywhere and the bizarre tale of how AI infiltrated the last place you'd expect.
594: Smart Contracts for Dumb People
Malicious NPM packages are sneaking into codebases while FFmpeg devs prove old-school assembly skills can still smoke the competition. Plus, a rare bee species takes on Zuck's AI dreams.
593: Bake Your Own Linux Cake
Mike reports in from the COSMIC frontier! Plus: Microsoft's juicy Google drama, GPU eye candy that'll make your wallet nervous, and the tea on why OpenAI's AGI Czar went full scorched-earth on his exit.
592: C++ Safety Dance
C++'s Borg-like mission continues, and some thoughts on Rails 8.1. Plus, there is a little trouble in Microsoft Paradise. And why Chris finally paid for an LLM.
591: FOSS does what Nintendont
We get frustrated with Nintendo. Then, dig into the 30-year-old backdoor that was recently exploited and the hard lesson we should learn from it. Then, we'll break down some "hot tips" that promise to make you the next DevRel star.
590: Google’s Loss is Our Win
Our reaction to Google's major legal blow, forcing them to open the Play Store wide, our thoughts on the world's lovefest with AI-generated podcasts, and the next tool Microsoft is porting over from Linux.
589: Blame the Tools using the Tools
Our thoughts on big tech firing up old nuclear reactors to satisfy the AI growth plans, Sam's big week, and debate if Meta just had their iPhone moment.
A Coder PSA
A quick update from Chris on where the show is at this week, and what to watch out for next week!
588: Hulk Smash “PUNY DEVS”
The insidious undercurrents threatening to crush open-source AI projects, plus our thoughts on Microsoft's "big changes" to Windows post-CrowdStrike.

We reflect on the rise of DevOps and the frustrating dynamics that led to it. Plus, tech's latest bright idea: Roombas with attitude.
584: Google’s Poisoned Apple
The walled garden wrecking ball is fueling up - where we think it strikes first. Plus, what was really behind the recent GitHub outage.
583: A Shekel for Every Click
Apple goes into full crackdown mode and begins to squeeze even more out of developers and creators. Plus, why tiny models are suddenly the rage.

We take a look at SeaweedFS, roast Apple Intelligence, and reveal the vendor that caught Intel's mess before it shipped.
581: Lunacy Lake
Why is Google feeling lucky, and the Intel situation slips into pure lunacy. Plus, thoughts on the C# Type Union proposal.
580: Error Lake
Our thoughts on the CrowdStrike outage and why Intel is in the hot seat with developers.
579: The Insufferable Small Business
Are small business owners just the worst? The rant that hits close to home. And how AI is looking more like a unicorn, not a horse, but big tech keeps trying to put a saddle on it.
578: Cancel the 100X
Apple finally stands down in its battle with Epic, and Google gets caught with its hand in the full access to everything jar.
577: Holy Order of the Admins
Why you shouldn't use AI to write your tests, and the crazy deals new AI companies are getting themselves into to access hardware.
