That's something we've been considering! Right now I'm wrapping up my masters degree and will finish in April (fingers crossed). Once I have more free time, we're going to look at …

I'm one of the creators of the podcast. We do what we can, but this is very much a side project for us. We're both full-time SDEs with day jobs.

I’m one of the creators of the podcast. Thanks for linking to the site! If you’re not familiar with the podcast, we read and discuss a new software engineering book each week. When…

It's definitely a bit of a melancholy read. Some of the people who invented Unix are long gone, and we probably don't have a lot of time left with the people who are still with us.…

Funny you would post this today! I actually just conducted an interview with John on A Philosophy of Software Design. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k0kTux_YNHw

You can argue that Shakespeare is comprehensible to a modern English speaker, but I don't think you can argue that it's modern English. The different "you" forms alone are enough t…

Great idea here. I wonder if there's potentially more demand for new programming languages now purely as benchmarks for LLMs, like you said?

Love it! It's not really Jeopardy without the buzzers, is it?

Super interested in this! I left a main comment in the thread about a potential promotional opportunity for you all, so let me know if you're interested!

I love it! One of my big hesitations in using LLMs in any projects is the inherent instability of it, so I'm excited to see some concrete strategies on how to mitigate that. Actual…

Agreed. Reading books is great if it's replacing Twitter and Reddit time. It's not great if it's replacing coding time.

One of the great things about The Practice of Programming is how much it references other non-coding works. You can tell Kernighan draws his knowledge from many sources, not just t…

Thanks for the heads up on "The Unix Programming Environment!" I've been searching for a book with a concise explanation on how to write a compiler, and you can't go wrong with one…

Added to the backlog! As our audience grows, we've debated doing live backlog grooming on YouTube so that listeners have a chance to chime in and voice their opinions on what we sh…

Certainly successful intelligent people often excel in personalities. Hard to get places without playing nice with others to a degree.

They mention at one point that Java doesn't have a way to pass a function as a parameter to another function. That was added in Java 8 with lambdas. That's just one off the top of …

Good idea. Now that I think of it, I've seen other creators do something similar.

Yeah, someone on YouTube pointed out the same thing. D'oh. I wish Brian would have corrected us! We'd love to get Rob Pike on too! Currently working on it, although he's a little h…

That's been my experience so far, especially because the focus of the podcast is explicitly on the book. It's not, "Hey, come on my podcast to discuss the latest AI development and…

It's a rare combination to find someone both as intelligent and humble as he is. Truly a blessing to our industry.

It was an on-screen virtual interview, so while I believe they had scrubbed the Git history, you weren't allowed to look it up.
