Is there supposed to be non-static video with this? I just see two still images over the course of the ~hour and forty minutes. The conversation goes along as if there's periodic pictures to be seen of what's being discussed. Yeah, just feeling grumpy about this not being a podcast like it used to be :)

They did throw photos in for their "weird boards" one, which was awesome (and really benefitted from it). Otherwise - it's a podcast, I suspect Youtube is just the easiest version to link to.

That episode was a bunch of work—glad to hear that it was beneficial! And, yes, YouTube is just convenient for posting recordings. We added the podcast in early 2022. There’s usually a delay between YouTube and the podcast in the hope that we get some show notes submissions (and to shake out the occasional audio screw up).

I had no idea my podcast client (overcast) could do chapter artwork. Chapters are still somewhat cutting-edge, let alone per-chapter metadata. That episode felt like you went nought to sixty real sharpish. Credit is well deserved.

Sorry to say when I watched this the first time I didn't see those "pictures" either. I thought it was my browser but restarting and playing on another device confirmed there were no images. Thought I must have missed something.

Hi Bryan, as a young developer I have found your content and work so inspiring. As others have alluded to, On the Metal and your talks are fantastic! Keep up the good work at Oxide!

That's very meaningful to hear -- thank you! Part of what we wanted to create with both "On the Metal" and especially with "Friends of Oxide" is something that we (Adam and I) both really appreciated as younger engineers: hanging around the (metaphorical) campfire, absorbing the wisdom of more senior engineers through their lived stories. On the one hand, we have lost a bit of that in that we (broadly) aren't in pers…

I completely agree, absorbing the wisdom of senior engineers is invaluable. Mentorship is especially important. In fact, it was a mentor of mine that introduced me to your podcasts and conversations. I have fond memories of us listening to your talks as we worked. I love the historical, philosophical, and ethical touch you add, and the conversations you've had are a legacy that will be remembered!

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.

So glad you enjoyed "On the Metal"! Your suggestion is a great one, and we'll work on this over the next few weeks; stay tuned, and in the meantime, enjoy the "Oxide and Friends" back catalog!

Second that! I was a big fan of "On the Metal", and was bummed when it ended. Stumbled upon "Oxide and Friends" almost by chance, and was happy to discover it kept the same style (and even better, with more voices).

You made my commute a lot more enjoyable. Still going through the old catalog -- the episode about NeXT and Objective-C (S1E8 July 5, 2021 [1]) was excellent.

Keep up the great work Bryan!

Those are always fun to watch. I've been wondering, what's the plan at Oxide with the recent announcement from Intel about moving away from the Intel Tofino business? Are you still going to be using tofino 2 chips for the network?
