Episode 15: Whack Job Central

Main Hall, Hellingly Asylum by howzey

On today’s Very Special Episode of /dev/hell, we talk about Ed’s struggles with depression and anxiety, and how it’s impacted him as a member of the open source community. Yeah, we know, total buzzkill, but this is important stuff. We hope that by talking about it, folks with similar issues will be more likely to seek help.

We’d really like to hear from you about this topic. You can leave us a comment, or send us a link & we’ll collect the responses.

Here’s your homework for this week, suckas:

Episode 14: The PHP Guy Is Sulking

Sulking Spiderman by kenjonbro

This week we’re joined by Justin Searls, JavaScript developer and JS testing EXPERT. We talk lots about building and testing “fat” browser apps, particularly about best practices and different testing approaches. After a while Chris felt bad and told us to shut up.

This was the first podcast we broadcast live while recording. Big ups to WonderNetwork for providing the streaming bandwidth, and Engine Yard for sponsoring the podcast. Keep an eye on the @dev_hell Twitter account for info on our next live stream.

Episode 13: #tek12 or something. I don’t know

Coding in the lobby by Michelangelo van Dam

This episode was recorded at the tek12 uncon in front of a live studio audience. We talk about pair programming, what we’d recommend to folks who want to start programming, the PHP-FIG & PSRs, and our favorite events from tek12. Also Chris punched Ed a couple times. It hurt.

Video hosting for this episode is provided by WonderNetwork, who generate some really cool ping data.

This was lots of fun, and we want to thank all the folks who came out and participated.

Extra special big thanks to Michelangelo Van Dam for lending us his audio recording hardware, and Cal Evans for recording the video!
