Thanks for sharing that comment, it's excellent. I love the use of "midwife" in the last sentence. Claude would never!

Nadia is amazing! We had her on The Changelog last Feb and learned SO much by picking her brain.

Here's the link, in case you finish watching her talk and want an even deeper-dive: https://changelog.com/podcast/577

Wow! I'm putting together a podcast about emacs and I'd love to talk to you about your experience for it. Please contact jerod@changelog.com if you're interested.

If you haven't yet, please check out Changelog News which I ship out every Monday! It's a newsletter + podcast combo.

This is a phenomenon we see over and over with our "Unpopular Opinions" segment. The summary statement is often unpopular, but once you hear out the person's reasoning (unless it's about food or something purely subjective) most people end up agreeing with them.

It's been tough to get _truly_ unpopular opinions (as voted on by Twitter/Mastodon users) represented on the pods.

Thanks, these are good examples! I’m not going to disagree with you on the Silicon Valley references… ;)

We’re always trying to improve! Do you have any examples of us small talking about nothing? That’d be super helpful to know.

If you’re interested in software design please give us a listen!

Thanks for sharing the show! We’re working on a transcript, which should be posted in a day or two.

We're hard at work on the transcript for those of you who'd rather read than listen. It usually takes a couple days and there's a link at the bottom of the page you can click to be notified of when it's published.

Hope you enjoy the conversation, Brian does not disappoint!

Richard Hipp discussed this (alongside a deep-dive on the philosophies underpinning his Fossil SCM) when we had him back on The Changelog podcast recently:

"SQLite is likely used more than all other database engines combined"

So, like, even more popular than that?!

We discuss this in detail with Richard on next week's episode of The Changelog podcast.

Thanks for sharing and listening! We also publish transcripts[1] for every episode we produce, but it takes a few days so if you'd rather read than listen, stay tuned and we'll post the transcript soon. <3

The site does a lot more than merely hosting podcasts.

There’s a very active news feed with submissions, commenting, newsletter subscriptions and management, a blog, episode requests, live streams, etc.

Check out the source to see what all the app does:

This quote from Adam on our episode about the setup explains some of our motivations here:

> It’s worth noting that we don’t really need what we have around Kubernetes. This is for fun, to some degree. One, we love Linode, they’re a great partner… Two, we love you, Gerhard, and all the work you’ve done here… We don’t really need this setup. One, it’s about learning ourselves, but then also sharing that. Obviously, Changelog.com is open source, so if you’re curious how this is implemented, you can look in our codebase. But beyond that, I think it’s important to remind our audience that we don’t really need this; it’s fun to have, and actually a worthwhile investment for us, because this does cost us money (Gerhard does not work for free), and it’s part of this desire to learn for ourselves, and then also to share it with everyone else… So that’s fun. It’s fun to do.

Sorry for the hassle! We’ve been hit by lots of spammers lately so I battened down the hatches. Unfortunately this has the side effect of also blocking some legit humans as well. :(

Additional topics discussed in our just-released conversation[1] with GitLab and Element leads:

1. What happened to "ChatOps" and why is GitLab divesting in this space?

2. Who contacted whom? What are some details of the acquisition process and negotiations?

3. What does this mean at a practical sense for existing Gitter users?

4. What's going to happen in the next 6, 12, and 18 months?

Yes, we pay a human to transcribe each episode and then we open source the markdown on GitHub for community collaboration/improvement.

Yeah except that is a different podcast...

We used paged feeds[1] for our RSS, but not all podcast clients support it. I might end up going back to a full feed, but remove the show notes, etc from older episodes to keep the file size smaller...

We did a deep-dive on CS Unplugged with the program's creator, Tim Bell, on The Changelog last year.

Not really, it just feels longer.
