Had this thought earlier this week when I was listening to one of their episodes this week, enjoy how humble they are about what they know and what they do not. They makes it possible for me to believe I can be as good as them. My favourite Developer podcast by far.

Thanks for sharing. I'm not a big fan of podcasts, mostly because I ended up listening to boring stuff (or people).

Looking around to try a podcast for developers I ended up here. I'm happy I did.

Right. These guys are anything but boring in my opinion. I hope you enjoy listening as much as I do.
