Imagine Andreas going around making annoying electronic sounds all the time.Strike that. Andreas and Lars discuss using less power - less fancy abstractions - to make things easier to understand. Andreas likes to do a de-powering pass to code.A
How do people learn about licenses?If you entered into software in a certain way, it's easy to assume that everyone is a part-time license attorney. But how do other people pick up license knowledge? And what does one really need to know?Licens
Everyone's favorite idempotent podcast returns to discuss learning new languages and concepts. Can mixing and matching new concepts and syntax help or hinder language adoption? A new concept but a familiar syntax might make a language easier fo
Wherein the wonders of C are explored.But first, let Andreas tell you what's so great about Chalmers' approach to teaching computer engineering. Spoiler: starting with Haskell, close to math.The tooling around C: cultural mystery meat.Lars trie
What is functional programming?Andreas grabs his whiteboard and his Turing machine, and starts from laziness, while Lars thinks of immutability, functions, and data.Is syntax important for being functional or not?The functionalness of various l
Lars wants a less demanding way to prepare for giving talks, but he doesn't have the time right now.Andreas knows a cheat code for public speaking. Lars uses slides like a blunt instrument.How should you wield your slides? How do you weigh info
What are people talking about when they talk about developer experience? Pretty colors in the terminal?What is worth improving, what is not? Lars has thoughts about all of developer experience, not least the one of Nerves. How flaky do you acce
Andreas' place of work ceased to exist.It was mostly a relief.The main worry is about resting and recovering enough before whatever comes next begins. All the learnings about how not to do certain things live on.The right way of doing those thi
CRUD - a classic term among supposedly simple web apps. But, not always the right move? Not always all that mappable to the actual problem?Discussed: picking spicy architectures, non-CRUD data storage needs, slovely solutions, dirty refunds, an
Embedded is a weird thing. Lars is all Nerves and tries to explain and report from a world where people know part numbers off the top of their heads. The physical device missing is rarely a thing that happens in web development.Embedded-style w
Andreas is a man of many hobbies. Interviewing for example. But sometimes, you get strange questions from strange people, end up feeling scared, or start lying just a bit. Then, perhaps, you tell the story of a bug. Perhaps we shouldn't work du
Stories about Ecto quickly redeeming itself, and of what it takes to introduce foreign keys.Some of us are super comfortable referencing the ID. Lars dislikes that Ecto needs to be more complicated because of SQL, but the abstractions do hold.A
Fredrik wants to think about long-lived code. Lars is offended, Andreas only a little bit so.Are there other good software development practices out there? Other than the ones focusing on building something quickly? Practices for building softw
The Saint Valentine's peak passed without issue. Andreas had time for semlor.Lars has opinions on semlor, and can imagine many possible improvements. Like having an apple. Or a pizza.Lars has had a nice influx of work, including hardware work u
Andreas tells the story of a old system which suddenly exhibited a new and frightening bug. Lars shares similar experiences of things going wrong in new and novel ways.When things do go wrong, it is so nice to have supervision trees or other th
Lars dove into data pipelines, and emerged bearing arrows and wishing for a lot fewer copies.What is there to think about regarding data pipelines, what is interesting about them?Which tools are out there, and why might you want to use them?Why
GenServers are fun! Andreas gives all the context. Things were learned, knowledge was aquired. You can do so much with GenServers, but make sure you have a good reason.If you don't watch out, this is where concurrency goes to die.Dynamic superv
Every web app starts out fine, the tabula rasa of an unwritten BODY. But sooner or later you need users. And a million other things which live in trees.Also: email.And that layer between the controller and the database where things like fine-gr
The software development industry is very much built for code nerds. It shouldn’t be.Many of us know many people who are really into coding. Not every working developer can, or even should, be though. Doesn't that create kind of a weird gap bet
Data has moved to a real database. Next, there may be brave attempts to add actual structure. Working with a real database is nice, as is not losing data, and being able to restore.Not everything is ephemeral, after all.Database service provide
It seems a mingle is a thing, and not just in Swedish! But what do we want to get out of them, how do we go into them, and how do we create good ones?Do you want resonance or hole-poking when you tell people about your plan to arm toddlers with
Performance: we wish the incentives were there to focus on it more often.Lars would like more opportunities and incentives to focus on making things fast, rather than just making them not slow. Unfortunately, things tend to line up so that fast
CTOs want the ability to get prototypes built and out into production fast. Others preach the gospel of building things properly. How fast can you be? How much can you perpare before you hit the ice? And one you built and shipped that prototype
Did they do design, or did they just do a system?Distributed systems are hard in many ways. Andreas describes a system communicating between backends and mobile phones in exciting ways with many exciting possibilities for errors. Like data form
