I now realize that simplification is not fundamentally a technical problem but rather a cultural one. Our nerd culture embraces inhuman levels of complexity. Mastering mind-boggling complexity is our mutant superpower. It is our tribal marker. Complexity is the air we breath, and so it is invisible to us. Simplification will only come from outside this culture. To disrupt programming I first have to reinvent it for a fresh audience of non-programmers.” 44:26 - Technical Matters vs ElitismAndreas Stefik Ruby Rogues Episode #184: We Actually Know About Software Development and Why We Believe It's True with Greg Wilson and Andreas Stefik47:57 - Making Programming Easier to Learn51:20 - Team Structures in Academia vs IndustryPicks git-standup (Coraline) Craft Conference (Jessica) UtahJS (Chuck) Zoom H6 (Chuck) Ian Leslie: The Sugar Conspiracy (Coraline) The sugar conspiracy (Neil) Treasure Islands: Tax Havens and the Men Who Stole the World by Nicholas Shaxson (Neil)Special Guest: Neil Brown.

Friday Afternoon Deploy: A Developer Podcast Lofty Labs Episodes and show notes available at friday.hirelofty.com. An unapologetic show about the culture and chaos of software engineering from the makers and breakers of digital products at Lofty Labs. We build software with Python and Django, Ruby and Rails, Golang, whatever frontend framework we're forced to use because it's popular this month, and anything else to get the job done right. Then on Friday afternoons we have a beer and talk about our regrets on this show. Explicit I Love My Baby, And... Erin Schlozman and Ruby Falk Motherhood is awesome. But not always. Holding space for the best parts of motherhood seems impossible when the challenging parts feel really heavy – and vice versa! Erin, licensed therapist, and Ruby, licensed therapist candidate, hold nothing back when talking about the dual realities associated with this chaotic, wonderful, hard, hilarious, sad, and undeniably happy part of life. This podcast is a place for community. Submit your thoughts, feelings, or wonderings to our voicemail box or email, and let’s talk about it! We can't wait to hear from you. Explicit
