Customer Reviews
Great content
Lots of great content delivered in a very professional way. Thanks for taking the time to do the podcast.
not for me
I only listened to the 14 August 2011 episode, so perhaps he was having an off day, but the host of this podcast comes across as cynical and, how should I put this, curmudgeonly. The episode was mainly a rant about Rails and how he is having trouble keeping up with changes in technology; nothing constructive was really said at all. I listen to tech podcasts so that i can learn and get excited about new technology -- it motivates me. But this podcast, I'm afraid, only accomplished the opposite.
