427: Second-Class Desktop
Chris makes a big mistake on the road, and Mike drops some reality-based sage wisdom. But it's really all just a ruse to get you to email the show.
426: The Thoughtful Triangle
Is there a secret motive behind Apple's announced plans to scan iMessage and iCloud Photo Library content? Plus how using a common SDK just cost Zoom $85M.
425: Ruby in the Rough
Big promises are being made in Ruby land, Tech Crunch says Open Source is dead, and we have thoughts to share about both! We also discuss Google's Time Crystals. They have the power to fundamentally change our lives, but what the heck are they?
424: Denial of DOS
Mike shares his adventures coding while riding Amtrak, Chris is trying to get DOS running while he still can, and many of you wrote in sharing your concern for GNOME.
423: Dead Desktop Disco
Has Microsoft figured out a way to invalidate the GPL? We're skeptical. Plus, the Gnome project says the traditional desktop is dead, and extensions are niche. Do we agree?
422: Don't Code in Bed
It seems AI isn't replacing developers just yet, and why we think you shouldn’t get too comfortable. Plus the almost impossible story of how Mike defeated another laptop.

Has Google already started its decline? Our surprising take. Plus the trouble with Co-Pilot, and a lot more.
420: You Can't Sideload Happiness
Mike's got some strong feels about his new system, and Chris spent a week with Windows 11. And that's not even scratching the surface. It's a wild one, with some hard truths, so buckle up.
419: Authentication Timeout
Big Tech's punishment train has been en route for years, but now that it's almost arrived, are we getting onboard? Plus Mike's recent tech woes and Chris' special surprise waiting for him in the studio.
418: I'm a Teapot
We get a bit skeptical about Stripe Identity, how it works, and precisely why we don't like some of their privacy trade-offs. Plus, a tool we're calling "game-changing" that probably makes anyone a master developer.
417: Why Would Developers Care?
Our takes on the important bits from Apple's WWDC 2021 keynote and State of the Union. None of the fluff, just the stuff the mattered.
416: Strange Voltron of Hell
Mike's unique take on the bold promises made at MS Build this year, and the one item he REALLY wants announced at WWDC next week. Plus a batch of your emails, a little proxy war, and more!
415: Keyboard Kurious
We both fall for a new fancy keyboard; then we get philosophical about free software's never-ending quest to conquer mobile.
414: Google I/NO
After Chris gets a reality check from Mike, the guys answer some emails and admit a cold hard truth. Plus our reaction to the creation of a Linux Subsystem for Mac.
413: Painpoints to Profits
Chris struggles with his nature, while Mike shares some sage developer advice that everyone should hear before using a platform like AWS. Then we react, strongly, to Docker charging to skip updates.
