#2Disclaimer: I posted this link -- and hosted the discussion!
To the best of my knowledge (and I would love to be proven wrong!), this is the first time an engineering team has gone on the record with their warts-and-all experience with electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and safety compliance testing. If you have never heard of compliance before or have no idea what any of this could possibly be about, you're guaranteed to learn something about the world of devices around you. And if you have dealt with EMC: you know how wild and unpredictable the process can be -- and I think you'll enjoy hearing some of our own harrowing details. Either way, this is a technically meaty discussion that I think the HN demographic will enjoy!

#3I felt a loss when the On the Metal podcast series wrapped up. I figured these Oxide guys now have too much real work to do, they won’t be able to keep up this podcast, even if it is the best tech podcast I’ve listened to. Bryan is an unbeatable host. If you love retro-computing or just the history of our industry in general, you will walk away learning something from anything he talks about. His quick wit and deep tech knowledge keeps you totally engaged, and gives you the feeling of living vicariously in the silicon valley that was about getting your hands dirty and building great tech products.
But now I can look forward to their leap over to “social audio”. First Twitter spaces (where I would sometimes chime in live) and now the Discord-hosted On the Metal.
Most podcasts are sports commentary. These guys are full-contact in the game. I love it. Keep it up Bryan!

Just FYI i can get the Oxide And Friends sessions in my podcast app (I use podcast addict on Android).

Wow, those are incredibly kind and inspiring words -- thank you! The good news is that these are all made available via RSS wherever you get podcasts.[0]
What I (we!) love about social audio is that it allows for many more voices -- both on the team here at Oxide and in the broader community. As a result, we've been able to get into some really deep detail with members of the team; I collected a few of my favorites in [1].
Thank you again for the kind words; I think you'll enjoy exploring the back catalog of Oxide and Friends!

Is there a summary I could read, or just some notes to help navigate the presentation? It sounds super interesting but the video is very long to commit to. Thanks!

Big same. I was so happy to find the Oxide and Friends podcast that I went through the entire backlog in the last couple months. It really helped solidify my thoughts on debug-ability as a first class property of a programming language/environment/system.
It's a great mix of tech history, personal accounts from industry, practical conversations about development and debugging and current industry happenings.
A few standout episodes:
Engineering Culture
Engineering Incentives... and Misincentives

Thanks for the links Bryan!
May I suggest a small teaser trailer post to the old “On the Metal” feed? I’m still subscribed there, but wasn’t aware of the new channels.
Those were some incredible interviews! I’ve listened to a few of the episodes twice.

I am glad to hear things are going well, though still disappointed there is no decentralized Discord.
