Inebriated again this week, is it becoming a pattern? Only you can find out by tuning in again this week to the Talking Tech while Poking Smot podcast featuring your host, chad_$yntax. This week we discuss dependencies, and when I say discuss I mean waste the first 5 minutes ranting about some bullshit that I can't even remember. I do eventually start talking about dependencies. How they are important, annoying, somehow complicated and potential vulnerable. We then pivot to retreading some ground from last week about docker, kubernetes and environment variables. Then we quickly move on to a question about "web dev basics" which really sounded like "dev ops basics" to me. We end on a question about databases which I give somewhat of an answer to. I'm not entirely sure I answered the question, but to be fair I am also not entirely sure what the question is asking. Who is to say. Not me. See you next week!

Another week with ya boi chad_$yntax bringing you the best software podcast available in a format of exactly 31:33 seconds. No one else can top me at that. I would like to see them try. Other than that, we talked about making bots. Chat bots, twitter bots, discord bots, whatever. It's all about the learning experience. It's good practice and not a bad idea for a side project. Some bots can even make money, like moderation tools or bots with integrations. We then move onto a full-stack question about downloading xcel spreadsheets and the ways in which you can accomplish that. After that thrill ride we move onto an abridged "day in the life" of programming. If I made one of those cringe youtube videos all those other software engineers make it would be boring as hell. People who post those kinds of videos are trying to highlight their neat-o office and social life. All that time you spent recording videos of your snacks at the office could have been spent un-fucking your MR I have to review you fucking dipshit. Enjoy your fucking corn flakes, you better be able to deploy and chew at the same time. Otherwise your shortfall becomes my responsibility, and I fucking hate that. Fucking guy. Where was I... Oh right I have meetings and code every day, see episode 2 for the nitty gritty on scrum and tickets. We then move onto the final boss: koo-burr-net-eez. I kinda stumbled through this one ngl, but I think my general advice still stands. As I'm writing this I'm thinking of better answers. I guess I'll handle my own shortfall next week and re-answer it. Fucking guy.

See you next week!

It's me again, Chad $yntax, back again for some good ol' rootin' tootin' SOFTWARE_ENGINEERING. This episode we discuss GraphQL and it's pros and cons. After going over time like usual, we quickly segue gracefully to the modern junior dev stack. What you need to know as a full-stack engineer is usually database, back-end language, back-end framework, front-end language, front-end framework. We then go over some example of such. We then somehow spend the rest of our time talking about front-end performance again. I like front-end performance. I like seeing the little checkmark in the lighthouse be green. I like fast loading pages. I like optimizing. Maybe that's why we talked about it too much this week. There's always next week for more coherent answers!
