A Junior, A Senior and I

A few days ago I was joined by Dave and Steven to discuss misunderstood concepts in tech. We strayed away from that so as a bonus you also get: - A comparison of the state of the car industry vs the tech industry 60 years in. - Thoughts about what the role of software developer should be. - And, thoughts on why so many concepts don't have a consensus understanding among tech professionals. ---find Dave at:- http://pragdave.me/- https://x.com/pragdavefind Steven at:- https://stevenrbaker.com/- https://x.com/srbaker - https://fosstodon.org/@srbaker
