Coder Radio

Mike's got a Greenfield project he’s fired up & a tale of woes to go along with it. Chris inspires a mini-revolt over the weekend & both the guys have some remarks for the week’s Hoopla.

A special live on location edition of the show, we talk new gear, workflows & how developers can turn a bad situation around.

Mike and Chris review predictions from years past & check on how well they’ve aged. Plus we take a look at Microsoft’s big picture strategy with .Net & now PowerShell for every system.

Code linting is a way to increase code quality & Mike’s standardized his team on one tool. He shares what they’re doing, why they're doing it & the impact it has made. Plus the brutal life cycle of JavaScript, the exaggerated death of microservices & more!

After a great batch of feedback we make some bold predictions for 2018, and it’s not your dad’s crystal ball this year.

Mike lays it all out for 2017 and makes the case that the small independent development model is fundamentally doomed. We spend the last Coder of the year being very honest about what hasn't worked in our businesses, about the limitations that life and circumstances put on us all & how we try to make the very best of the hand we’re dealt. It’s not a typical end of year episode, but it might be the most important.

Mike’s spent a week with JavaScript, Apple has a big gift & that launching a new product glow. Plus Linux’s new fight, Amazon’s big wins & the things that have really gone to hell.

Microsoft makes one of their boldest moves into open source yet, Mike’s got new wheels and turns it into a chance to reflect on building for voice interfaces, Amazon’s got a new way for devs to make money & we continue to ponder the best ways to achieve CI bliss.

Mike shares some recent lessons he’s learned trying to scale his team, some tools they tried & the processes that have stuck. But first we kick it off with some of your feedback, a bit of Hoopla & wrap it up with a quick touch on hardware.

A new breed of platform wars is brewing, and developers and users are on the losing side more than ever. Plus Mike updates us on his recent NYC trip, a batch of your feedback, an app pick & more!
