Coder Radio

Mike battles the onslaught of yet another bout with the plague. At the same time, we react live to Elon buying Twitter, Gitlab kicking off some free accounts, and we discover Google and Apple are working together again to pull the rug on app developers.

We get a bit gleeful over some choice tech monopoly hypocrisy and then spicy with our 18-month outlook.

We revel in the hypocrisy of big tech, share a few stories, and catch up with an old friend.

We crack open the time capsule and see how our spicy takes hold up.

We just watched Revolution OS before the show, so we reflect on the audacity of their vision and the new revolution we see brewing.

Apple enters full panic mode over sideloading, and our plan to push back against industry-wide consolidation kicks off.

Our take on big tech's return to office, AT&T's RCS boondoggle, and the concerning territory tech is racing towards.

We revisit one of the core theses of the show and expand on it in a new way, leading us to ponder just what a wild ride the next eight years are going to be.

Mike and Chris eat some crow as they change their tune on a recent spicy take. Plus, new details about Microsoft's acquisition of Activision Blizzard are just too juicy to ignore.

Mike has some huge news and busted wifi, Chris spent a weekend in the Metaverse, and why Microsoft has us both upset.

After reminiscing about .Net's 20th birthday, Mike and Chris air IBM's hypocritically dirty laundry and marvel at Microsoft's 3D chess moves.

Mike makes a shocking admission, and Chris wishes he had a time machine.

Microsoft's cold war with Apple is revealed in court filings this week, and Google thinks they've got the next hit on their hands, which sounds a lot like the old hit.

The audience hits us in the face with some hard truths, and then we dig into Microsoft's fox-like moves to snatch up Activision Blizzard on "the cheap."

Emboldened by his success, Mike takes a victory lap. Little does he know it's all virtual.

Was he justified? Our thoughts on the dev who corrupted libraries in NPM for millions of users with his political statement about free software. Plus how Google blew a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to control mobile messaging.

Mike has a significant moment of clarity and sets out on a new path for 2022. Meanwhile, Chris is just happy to be out of the woods.

Mike finds a new normal and doubles down on what works. Chris meanwhile is stranded in the woods and is having a bit of a panic.

We're both impressed by Rails 7 and how an old foe got us down again.

The broader software problem the Log4Shell vulnerability reveals, and the story of how Chris lit his Coder robe on fire... While wearing it.
