Episode 7: You Have Entered A Pants-free Workzone

TVBGone - 15

This week the gruesome twosome talk about working remotely:

  • the tools you need to make it work
  • the problems of being the Remote Guy when everyone else is local
  • techniques for staying focused
  • being a goddamn adult and GTTFD
  • why a company should invest the time in being remote-friendly

Chris also talks a bit about his new gig at Kaplan, where he’ll surely make grown men cry.

Episode 6: I Do Not Code With My Vagina

Ickey Woods

Suffragettes rejoice because we have our first female guest. Selena Deckelmann bullied her way onto the show to talk with us about Postgres, her lack of real Perl skills, Open Source Bridge and women in open source and technology in general. She also proved that cheap laughs are always possible by picking on Canadians. Also, how awesome it is that she shares a birthday with a famous NFL player.

Episode 5: The Hammer That is PHP

In our fifth episode we speak to our first ever guest Brian Moon, ancient PHP elder of dealnews and someone who has probably forgotten more about PHP than our two hosts will ever know. Chris admires his stamina for staying with the same employer for 14 years and counting.

In this episode we talk about dealnews, how they use PHP (and how they also use it in some interesting ways), and his thoughts on issues like concurrency and evented systems. We also cover features of PHP that allowed for some major changes and approaches they used in the code base for the site.
