We walk through a high-level overview of about a dozen different tech-related job titles/roles. Are Scrum Masters overrated? Nathan thinks so. Are graphic designers underrated? Gyan might think so.

Tune in to find out for yourself.

In this episode, we struggle to imagine writing code without structural design patterns as we describe each one, based on a link that Gyan found before we started recording.

We also cover the usual span of interesting, fun, and frustrating things - this time, including researchers who taught crows about recursion.

Do we know what we're talking about in this one? You decide!

Nathan complains about Pulumi and makes progress on cleaning up a Postgres database.

Gyan knows some things about serverside rendering, including how to build a very slow app that increments numbers.

Talking about stuff we've been up to since we last recorded. Listen if you want to, I guess.

Want to actually crack the coding interview? Easy, just throw Redis at it.

If that's not enough detail for you, listen to our conversation about all things caching-related.

A Series of Unfortunate Events (on Netflix)

Infrastructure as Code is pretty neat, and now there are abstractions that make your life even easier (or not...). In this episode, Gyan continues to be an AWS shill, and Nathan probably gets himself fired. Tune in to learn how!
