Hey from Cape Town, South Africa. I wanted to say a,very belated,happy 500! I’ve been listening for many years to all the JB shows and I still look forward to a new episode every week! (I do miss Mike destroying Macs tho.. he’s due another…).. on the dev side, I run a dev shop that focuses on .net core on all Linux servers(thanks to JBs influence!) and a little legacy Delphi…so,one for the .net folks out there! If any of u,or the crew,are in CPT, give me a shout, happy to host you! GREAT show!!!

I fell behind, but happy 500, happy new year, and everything else. Also Mike, I personally feel like incompetence is the rule of the day with literally almost anything. But you know what’s not incompetent? Jar Jar. Let’s get some!

Everyone wants to celebrate 500. Why not celebrate every episode? Happy episode 503!!!

I really enjoyed Chris's comment about finding a way to get out of our default problem solving mode & into creative mode on a regular basis to find enjoyment & fulfillment. I find visual diagramming during documentation can help a lot for this need. But totally a good non IT home project helps a lot too. Nothing like breaking down an old wall or standing up a new one, or making an old room look nice again. or wiring something up and not starting a fire. always a win. Thanks for the great show!

Quick question: where can we order the robe? or did I miss something?

This lawsuit situation annoys the hell out of me. I just listened to an episode of a show where they interviewed one of the SD lawsuit plaintiffs and she came across as completely clueless about how technology works or even what Stable Diffusion is.

Since I am a little late and anyone can wish you a happy 500, I, wish you a happy 502 episode

Have you looked into the pipewire raop module? it allows you to send an audio stream from your pipewire instance to an airplay speaker, including HomePods. unfortunately, it doesn’t (yet?) work with grouped speakers. https://docs.pipewire.org/page_module_raop_discover.html

Thank you Mike and Chris for all the hard work! Just started using fountain and congrats on the 500 episode, looking forward to the 550!

With the current massive state of layoffs, i too wonder if i should even begin pursuing tech. Just as in the aircraft industry, there are ebbs and flows and i domt want to get too caught up in the tide! ps-got my coder fix in just before my headset died. Great show as always!

very good channel i enyoid it to listen

Around the pandemic and things got dicey at my company I decided that I would take my box of things home. After that I never left anything personal at the office I wasn’t ready to leave behind. It was freeing.
