Mery Spolsky - wokalistka, artystka muzyczna i autorka tekstów gości w specjalnej serii MIĘDZY SŁOWAMI. Literatura na żywo prosto z Big Book Cafe! O sile języka, emocjonalnym ładunku zaklętym w słowach oraz o tym, jak określa nas język, rozmawiamy z artystami różnych dyscyplin. Mery Spolsky w rozmowie z Anną Król mówi m.in. o tym, jak powstają słowa jej piosenek, jakie słowa lubi najbardziej, jakich nadużywa i jakie leksykalne starocie sprawiają jej największą przyjemność. MIĘDZY SŁOWAMI to seria rozmów, w której artyści wielu dyscyplin pokazują, jak ważną częścią tożsamości, intymności i naszej relacji ze światem stają się słowa, których używamy. Gośćmi tej serii byli m.in.: Maria Peszek, Natalia Przybysz, Leski, Pablopavo czy Organek. Więcej tych rozmów znajdziecie we wcześniejszych odcinkach naszego podcastu w serii LITERATURA NA ŻYWO.

Sometimes, it feels like the best way forward on a project is to throw everything out & start over from scratch, but Joel Spolsky is adamant that this is a terrible idea, & there's decent evidence that he's right.

Podcast sponsorowany. Kampania BBC Lifestyle z udziałem Zofii Zborowskiej, Joanny Koroniewskiej i Mery Spolsky promuje trzyczęściowy dokument „Spice Girls: rewolucja Girl Power”, którego premiera odbędzie się na kanale BBC Lifestyle w piątek, 14 stycznia o godz. 21:00.

W czerwcu ukazała się debiutancka książka Mery Spolsky pt. "Jestem Marysia i chyba się zabiję dzisiaj". Dziś artystka rozszerza ten projekt - stworzyła audiobook w kilku wersjach, w jednej z nich nie brakuje gości. O szczegółach opowiada w rozmowie z Damianem Sikorskim. 

Mery Spolsky w Magazynie Muzycznym Bezkompromisowa i lekko szalona tak można szybko opisać Mery Spolsky. Artystka ma na swoim koncie już dwie płyty, książkę i właśnie wydała audiobook. Jak to często bywa w przypadku tej artystki nie jest to po prostu czytanie książki „Jestem Marysia i chyba się zabije dzisiaj”. Mery przygotowała dla słuchaczy dwie wersje audiobooka oraz serię liveactów. Co ciekawe jedna z wersji audiobooka „Jestem Marysia i chyba się zabije dzisiaj” to pierwszy w Polsce audiobook muzyczny. Wokalistka wraz z producentem No Echos stworzyła kilka numerów na potrzeby audiobooka oraz zaprosiła gości. Całe lato siedziałem w szafie i nagrywałam, nie mogę się więc doczekać szalonych liveactów, które nie będą ani koncertami ani spektaklem, ani też spotkaniem autorskim. W rozmowie z Kasią Rodek Marysia Żak mówi także o kręceniu klipów i swoim tacie.

Cześć Papierki! Mamy dla Was dzisiaj nie lada gratkę - Wywiad, a właściwie luźną rozmowę o pączkach wyglądających jak sami wiecie, o randkach i o dawaniu swojego CV w piosenkach z Mery Spolsky!

Są takie rzeczy, które popełniamy wszyscy, a jednak mini ciarki lęku o to, że zostaniemy z tego powodu osądzeni potrafią nas napadaść. To powrót z imprezy późną nocą, niepewność co do swojego wyglądu, umiejętności, przyszłość. I chociaż lubimy myśleć, że jesteśmy wyjątkowi, to wszyscy jednakowo bardzo bywamy zagubieni w poszukiwaniu swojej drogi. A ona tę drogę znajduje w opowiadaniu o tym, że dobra droga biegnie przez różne wyboje i przeboje, ale bycie sobie samemu najlepszym kompanem podróży sprawia, że nie jest ona nam straszna. Tańczy, śpiewa, inspiruje. Poszła do psychologa raz i zraziła się do niego skutecznie. Nie powstrzymało jej to jednak w szukaniu drogi pomiędzy Mery a Marysią. Naszym zdaniem, udało jej się wybudować nie tylko drogę, a wręcz autostradę. Niedawno wydała książkę, której tytuł wzbudził kontrowersje, ale nauczone tym, że książki nie należy oceniać po okładce, postanowiłyśmy porozmawiać z Mery Spolsky m.in. o tym, dlaczego się na taki właśnie tytuł zdecydowała. Będzie dużo o twórczości, czerpaniu z wiary w siebie, budowaniu samoakceptacji i spełnianiu marzeń. Będzie dobrze, więc posłuchajcie.

Mery Spolsky właśnie napisała książkę "Jestem Marysia i chyba się zabiję dzisiaj". Tytuł nie nastraja optymistycznie, ale tylko na pierwszy rzut oka. Tak naprawdę w przewrotny sposób ma zachęcić do wiary w siebie i własne marzenia. Artystka motywuje do codziennego treningu samoakceptacji i wyzwolenia się z uzależnienia od oceny innych. Otwarcie mówi o tym, że również miewa gorsze dni, ale dąży do tego, by każdego dnia móc do siebie powiedzieć "Mery, kocham Cię! Jesteś wyjątkowa". Jak polubić siebie? Dlaczego ważne jest by mówić nie? Na czym polega siła siostrzeństwa? I co takiego mają w sobie okulary kupione przy plaży? O tym w rozmowie z Kariną Terzoni.

Mery odwiedziła dzisiaj nasze mieszkanie, czego efektem jest ta rozmowa. A jest to rozmowa dwóch kobiet, które dzieli kilka lat, kolor włosów, a łączy cała reszta. Zapraszam!Książkę Mery kupicie: https://www.empik.com/jestem-marysia-i-chyba-sie-zabije-dzisiaj-mery-spolsky,p1271105159,ksiazka-p

Bohaterką odcinka jest Mery Spolsky. Wokalistka, autorka tekstów, kompozytorka, producentka muzyczna oraz projektantka ubrań. 16 czerwca wydała debiutancką książkę “Jestem Marysia i chyba się zabiję dzisiaj”. Czy napisała o sobie? Jaką rolę odegrała mama w jej życiu? Czy w końcu zaakceptowała siebie? Bohaterkami niezależnej serii rozmów "Polki" są kobiety żyjące tu i teraz, których historie pokazują, że polska społeczność kobiet jest bardzo różnorodna i warta odkrycia na nowo, ponad podziałami.

Mery Spolsky w rozmowie z Kasią Dydo opowiada o swoim debiucie literackim. Książka "Jestem Marysia i chyba się zabiję dzisiaj” to historia dwudziestoparoletniej Marysi. „Autorka pisze o chłopcach, których kiedyś kochała. Dziewczynach, które były jej przyjaciółkami. Rodzicach, którzy byli i są jeszcze kimś więcej. Oraz o tej najważniejszej relacji – z samą sobą, bo to przede wszystkim opowieści o świadomym wyznaczaniu własnych granic. O naginaniu zasad.”

„Jestem Marysia i chyba się zabije dzisiaj” to nowa, słodko-gorzka książka Mery Spolsky. Wypowiada na głos myśli, które wielu z nas zostawia dla siebie. Jest to też pretekst naszego spotkania. Rozmawialiśmy o kulisach jej powstania, o tym, czy każdy jest nienormalny, o asertywności i granicach. Całość w duchu lekkości, ale nie banalności.

Jak poezja i literatura ukształtowały teksty Mery? Czy wychowanie w artystycznym domu przygotowało ją do występów scenicznych? Dlaczego skrzypce nie są jej ukochanym instrumentem? I skąd w niej przekonanie, że każda dziewczyna ma wierzyć w siebie? Porozmawiałam z jedną z najciekawszych postaci na polskiej, młodej scenie muzycznej, czyli z Mery Spolsky, wokalistką, autorką tekstów, kompozytorką, projektantką ubrań i absolutnie pełnokrwistą artystką. Mery ma w sobie ciepło i życzliwość, które na wstępie skracają dystans (co na pewno usłyszycie w tej rozmowie!). Opowiedziała mi o tym, jak korzysta z poezji w procesie pisania tekstów, dlaczego moda jest dla niej ważną formą ekspresji, czy doświadczenie 12 lat szkoły muzycznej ograniczyło jej kreatywność i jaki pomysł na serial wymyśliła w ramach zaliczenia studiów scenopisarskich? To była jedna z najbardziej swobodnych i pełnych przepływu rozmów, jakie miałam okazję ostatnio przeprowadzić. Mery jest niezwykle inspirująca i otwarta na tematy związane z kulturą, sztuką, ale też samoakceptacją, relacją z ciałem i z samą sobą. Jeżeli tak jak mnie intryguje Was jej proces twórczy i wrażliwość, to ta rozmowa wciągnie Was na przysłowiowy amen! Zapraszam!

Dave Thomas and Andy Hunt on The Changelog, Stacey Barr on Coaching For Leaders, Nic Sementa on Drunken PM, Christopher Avery on Agile Uprising, and Steve Poling on Maintainable. I’d love for you to email me with any comments about the show or any suggestions for podcasts I might want to feature. Email podcast@thekguy.com. This episode covers the five podcast episodes I found most interesting and wanted to share links to during the two week period starting August 5, 2019. These podcast episodes may have been released much earlier, but this was the fortnight when I started sharing links to them to my social network followers. DAVE THOMAS AND ANDY HUNT ON THE CHANGELOG The Changelog podcast featured Dave Thomas and Andy Hunt with host Adam Stacoviak. Dave and Andy were on the show to talk about the 20th anniversary of the book The Pragmatic Programmer and its new edition. Adam asked how the book remains relevant given the short half-lives of most technology books. Dave clarified that the book is not really a technology book but a book about people and people haven’t changed that much. The biggest updates to the book were not due to changes in technology but due to changes in the authors’ experience and their discovery of better ways of explaining things. One example was the DRY principle that has come to mean, “Don’t cut and paste,” while its original meaning was not about code at all but had to do with knowledge. Andy was surprised upon revising the book to realize how much the world has changed in twenty years. Twenty years ago, he says, AOL was carpet-bombing people with CDs, very few of us had to worry about security as it was a struggle enough to get your code to work at all, and unit testing wasn’t commonly practiced. Andy said that they originally had intended to write a little whitepaper describing what they observed going from client to client and seeing the same classes of mistakes over and over. They came up with a set of stories, anecdotes, and metaphors to explain the concepts like “tracer bullet”. They intended to hand out this little whitepaper at clients but it just kept growing until it was a book. Adam asked what has changed in the last twenty years. Andy noticed on reviewing that he found the book more object-oriented than he thought it was. Dave says that people haven’t changed, but people’s sensibilities have: with the pervasive impact of computer technology on our lives, the responsibility being put on developers to behave ethically has increased dramatically. In his experience, twenty years ago, you wrote boring code that did some business function. Today, we’re writing code that can change people’s lives. We need to think a lot harder about the impact of the code we write. Adam asked how we can institutionalize the passing on of knowledge by those who came before. Andy wishes that academia had a greater interest in teaching the history of computing. Dave says this doesn’t need to be a separate class. If you want to become an author, you do a lot of reading. Instead of reading books, he says, developers should be reading code and reading a great variety of code. Teaching, he says, should involve learning how people did things in the past, reading their code, and then discussing why they made the choices they did. He gave the example of the C increment and decrement operators. In Bell Labs, the machines had seven addressing modes and two of them were pre- and post- increment address dereference. So the C operators mapped directly to the hardware. Another example is the famous paper, “GOTO Considered Harmful.” Entire languages have been written without GOTO based on the title of that paper. The original letter that the paper came from did not even have this title. The letter was about program-proving and the editors gave a “sexier” title. We carry around these things we have received based on headlines like “GOTO Considered Harmful” and we don’t even know why we do it. Adam asked how the next generation is going to gain a reverence for computing history. Andy suggested that mentors could instill this. Dave pointed out that we now live in an age when you can experience the history first hand. Today, you can emulate a PDP-11/70 in a browser. If you want to look at what Turing did at Bletchley Park, it’s there and you can play with it, but people don’t. Dave continued on to compare software development to jazz and talked about the importance of knowing the theory Apple Podcasts link: https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-pragmatic-programmers/id341623264?i=1000444208385 Website link: https://changelog.com/podcast/352 STACEY BARR ON COACHING FOR LEADERS The Coaching For Leaders podcast featured Stacey Barr with host Dave Stachowiak. Stacey spoke about performance measurement in business and I wish more people understood the things she had to say. Stacey says that humans are not particularly good at judging how things change through time, but performance metrics can do that for us. Performance metric numbers also help us make comparisons a lot more reliably than we can without them. Measurement is about filling the gap in human perception so that we can know with a lot more certainty what’s really happening with the results we’re trying to achieve in our business. Dave asked what kinds of mistakes people make around performance measurement. Stacey says that there are a few and the first place you’ll see them is in the KPI column of a corporate plan. A common one is initiatives. An initiative usually describes an action or a project that has been chosen to improve performance. For example, if your goal is to improve customer loyalty, you may have an initiative to implement a customer relationship management system. That’s not a measure. An initiative is not evidence that you’ve changed anything for the better. Next, she talked about milestones. She says that a milestone is about getting something done by a particular point in time. A milestone might be, “We want to meet the medical council requirements for re-accreditation by June of next year.” These are commonly mistaken for performance measures but she asks, “Would the achievement of this milestone really change anything?” A whole lot of things may have gotten in the way that made that date no longer an appropriate date or that action no longer an appropriate action. A milestone as performance measure focuses us too much on ticking boxes and expending effort, and that takes us away from what we really need to focus on, which is to influence something to make it better. When a milestone is the performance measure, we’re not checking whether the activities are the right activities or the best activities.  She then spoke about customer surveys. A common problem she says is that many will create a customer survey without thinking about the performance measures they need that survey to supply the data for.  She also talked about “management speak” or “business jargon” and mentioned Don Watson’s book Death Sentences (https://www.amazon.com/Death-Sentences-Management-Speak-Strangling-Language/dp/1592401406) where he calls these words “weasel words.” She says these words sound important, sophisticated, and meaningful, but they are empty of meaning. She went on to give examples: holistic, effective, efficient, accountable, reliable, quality, impact, and sustainability. When you see these weasel words in the names of measures, you’ve identified a mistake because people won’t know what the weasel word truly means, they won’t know how to quantify it, and they won’t know what data to go after. She also made a great point about the value of ensuring that we are measuring certain metrics frequently enough. Measuring frequently enough is important because it allows us to distinguish between a pattern of natural variability and changes to that pattern. Finally, she told a story about presenting some research she was proud of to a committee and not getting the result she expected. I found this story extremely relatable.

Nic is an Agilist whose expertise is in dynamic funnel development (understanding the pieces that make up marketing and sales funnels) and the psychology of the sale. He and his business partner speak about Agile marketing, the conscious communication code, and personal agility. Dave asked Nic how he learned about the language of persuasion. Nic says he’s a firm believer in building on your strengths and considers talking one of his strengths and says his talking skills have gotten him out of fist fights. He talked about subtly taking control of conversation using “pace, pace, lead.” He says we’re hardwired to either run away or attack back when conflict starts, but what you should do instead is run with your opponent. He says it is like a conversational rope-a-dope. You agree with them, you gain control of the conversation by matching the other person’s speed, and then you lead. If they come in fast and fired up, you agree with them while also being fast and fired up, then once they start agreeing with you, you slow down and lead the pace of the conversation. Dave asked how you avoid getting swept up in your own flight-or-fight reflex. Nic says you have to not take anything personally, not even a personal attack. As soon as you take something personally, you lose your ability to act. Instead, he says, you want to suck all the emotions out of the conversation and deal only with objectivity. He says that once you take away the emotions most people become quite rational. You’re not trying to take control of the other person, just their emotions. Dave asked Nic how he developed these skills and Nic explained that it was part of his upbringing to need to develop these skills. Nic described his childhood family life as a place where “Easter egg hunts can turn into knife fights,” so dealing with conflict came naturally to him. Dave asked what he can teach the rest of us who don’t have as much experience with conflict. He says you have to remind yourself that you are not a moral authority and therefore your opinion isn’t what matters; the objective situation is what matters. We’re trained that when something happens, we assume that that something is happening to us. For example, when a TV is louder than we like, we assume that the TV is too loud. He says we should remind ourselves we are not a moral authority with the simple phrase, “than I would like.” For example, when you’re perceiving a conflict and you are thinking, “Man, this guy is angry and he is loud and the situation is horrible,” instead think, “This guy is angrier than I would like, and louder than I would like, and the situation is worse than I would like, but what actually is going on?” Dave asked about non-violent communication. Nic described it as coming from the writings of Dr. Marshall Rosenberg about people’s natural tendency to speak in a way that implies a high level of moral authority, disconnects them from what is actually going on, and puts them in a position where they are judging others on a consistent basis and taking everything personally. Dr. Rosenberg wrote a curriculum to give people tools to combat this tendency. Nic used these tools to deal with the complicated situations in his personal and professional life without changing his own personality. He says you don’t have to be an nth-degree yogi who doesn’t eat dairy, meat, or sugar and meditates fourteen hours a day to use non-violent communication. You can be a hard-nosed sales dog and use the same tools without dropping your tone to a position of weakness. Nic says his own epiphany moment for non-violent communication was realizing that it was designed to give you power with people instead of power over people. This connects strongly with the notion of deconstructive criticism in How The Way We Talk Can Change The Way We Work (https://www.amazon.com/How-Talk-Change-Work-Transformation/dp/078796378X) by Kegan and Lahey. Dave asked Nic how he avoids thinking that he knows what people need. Nic says being objective helps and so does thinking, “Just because you can doesn’t mean you should.” Nic related a story of a business partner that used to ask Nic everyday, “What is one less thing we could do and still make the same money?” Most people are focused instead on doing more, Nic says, because most people forget the Pareto Principle or 80/20 rule. They also forget the Peter Principle and put themselves above their level of competency. They ended the conversation with Dave asking Nic for some final tips on communication. Nic says that being able to truly communicate well with your team comes from you understanding that, in addition to the conversations that you have with everybody else, you have another that happens with yourself. One of the most important benefits of telling the people around you why you care about them, why you appreciate them, and what their strengths are, is that, by doing so, you remind yourself.

Christopher says that he has been fascinated with the psychology of cause and effect for the past thirty years. That interest produced a pattern called the Responsibility Process that is about processing thoughts about taking and avoiding ownership. We tend to like owning the stuff that we think we caused intentionally and is good and we tend to not like owning the stuff that we don’t like and we tend to think such things were caused, not by us, but by something external. Christopher says that the Responsibility Process is valuable for anyone who wants to live a happier life, be more emotionally free, experience the power of real choices in every situation, and be more effective and valuable. Christopher asks us to imagine a stack of words and phrases starting at the bottom with the phrase “lay blame,” then “justify,” “shame,” “obligation,” and finally, “responsibility.” Every time something goes wrong, even if you are just tripping over a crack in the sidewalk, it produces a little bit of angst or anxiety and our mind tries to help us cope by starting at the bottom of the stack and asking, “Who did this to me? Who caused this? Who put the crack in the sidewalk?” The lay blame state has its own cause-effect logic. It makes us think that we are experiencing the effect and the cause is coming from outside of us. For the anxiety to go away, somebody else has to change. By coincidence, this is practically the same topic that Nic Sementa delved into in the Drunken PM podcast I referenced earlier. If we recognize that we are in the lay blame state, we may graduate to the justify state. If we transcend that state, we graduate to the shame state where we don’t blame somebody else but blame ourselves. This state is full of self-punishment and self-loathing. If we realize that it is a choice we are making to stay in the shame state, we can graduate to the state of obligation. This is the state of feeling burdened in a process, a flow, or a promise. It is only when we refuse to feel trapped that we can enter the state of responsibility, where you are owning your ability and power to create, choose, and attract. Christopher says the state of responsibility is always accessible to us. If we practice the responsibility process, we can get to the responsibility state more quickly. Brad pointed out that the obligation state could easily be confused with the responsibility state. Christopher says this is exactly right and before we had the notion of these various states, the word responsibility was used to represent all of them. Christopher says that, for much of our lives, authorities have been reinforcing the idea that we should beat ourselves up when we make a mistake (shame) and do what we’re “supposed” to do even if we despise it (obligation). In obligation, we build up resentment against who or what has us trapped. We resent the mortgage, the kids, the needy elderly parents, and the boss. If you have been making decisions in your life for more than a few years, he says, then you are the architect of your own life and it is a product of your choices. From there Christopher goes on to say that your life is a product of your filters which may be caused by your environment, parents, church, schools, and neighborhoods. He then asks, “Do you want to defend those filters or examine them?” I see another connection here to the work of Robert Kegan and Lisa Lahey, this time in their book Immunity To Change (https://www.amazon.com/Immunity-Change-Potential-Organization-Leadership/dp/1422117367), which talks about examining the hidden assumptions that prevent us from changing things within ourselves even when we desperately want to change them.

Steve and Robby talked about technical debt. Steve says he’s been on projects where the tech debt got so bad that they engaged in rewrites, which he calls declaring bankruptcy. Steve suggests that the enduring popularity of technical debt as a metaphor is because it works to explain the tax on engineering velocity in terms that business people understand. It accumulates, it gets worse, and we want to pay it down. Robby asked about what processes Steve has used to keep on top of tech debt. Steve started by describing the anti-pattern from the quote above, which reminds me of the Joel Spolsky essay, Things You Should Never Do, Part 1, in which Spolsky spoke about the downsides of rewriting from scratch. Steve says he drank the test-driven development Kool-aid and he now believes that if you do the red-green-refactor of TDD, you can prevent the accumulation of tech debt. Without the refactor step, however, technical debt will continue to accumulate.

In this week’s frightening episode, Joel gets a visit from his very own Annie Wilkes, er, number one fan: Genius.com CEO Tom Lehman. Meanwhile, it wouldn’t be a Halloween show without something dying: This year, it’s the Experts Exchange paywall. Finally, David forgets to turn off his phone and gets called mid-recording by a recruiter, and we decide to tape their increasingly odd conversation so we can share it with you, our listeners.

Mary McGroarty, Northern Arizona University. Public lecture for 2009-10 series, The Pain of Language: Language and Migration. Recorded on February 12, 2010. In this presentation, Professor McGroarty considers the roles and perceptions of languages other than English and their influence on the present environments of language policy and pedagogy. Relevant frameworks include texts in language policy and planning (e.g Kaplan & Baldauf, 1997; Ricento, 2006; Spolsky, 2009) and the typology of orientations set out by Ruíz (1984). These foundations, along with concepts drawn from work on linguistic ideology (McGroarty, 2008; in press) and findings of sociolinguistic research, offer several insights into professional and public discussions of languages other than English in the U.S. and elsewhere. Regarding categorization and function of home languages, recent research (Blackledge & Creese, 2009; McKay & Bockhorst-Heng, 2008; Zentella, 1997) suggests that, in some circumstances, categories used by governments and educational institutions may not be sufficiently fine-grained to capture varieties of language use accurately. Because language choices are closely connected to individual and collective identity, the degree to which they might represent any form of resistance can only be determined situationally, taking local and national history, relevant power relationships, and communicative needs and goals into account (Blommaert, 2008; Hornberger, 2009). Finally, the extent to which bilingual or multilingual skills represent resources for individuals or groups is partly a function of their salience in varied and dynamic communicative environments, temporal and geographic, (Lo Bianco, 2008; Wiley, 2005; Wolfram, 2009) only some of which are predictable far enough in advance to guide educational choices. Contemporary scholarship thus raises challenges of definitions, means, and goals for applied linguistics research and practice. Introduction by Jane Zuengler (Department of English).

I spoke at the StackOverflow conference in San Francisco and Seattle this week (long week, let me tell you) and I got the opportunity to sit down with Jeff Atwood from CodingHorror and Joel Spolsky from Joel on Software, along with the man, the legend, Rory Blyth. The audio also appeared on the StackOverflow podcast in part, but here's the raw video from our backstage ramblings.Warning: extreme ramblosity ahead!Joel explains his Duct Tape Programmer post. Apparently DevDays is a duct tape conference, and this section of the recording is a duct tape podcast. Some discussion of the ubiquity of mobile code. Also, if you are nostalgic for the era “when development was hard”, the consensus is that you should be doing mobile development today on iPhone, Android, Windows Mobile, or Symbian. Rory elaborates on his experience with (and effusive opinions on) iPhone development to date. Is coding in Objective-C best accompanied by a flux capacitor, New Coke, and Max Headroom? Also, his excitement for MonoTouch. Joel and Scott put on their amateur language designer hats and have a spirited discussion of type inference and Fog Creek’s in-house DSL, Wasabi. Scott covers some of the highlights of new and shiny features coming in the Visual Studio 2010 IDE, the C# 4.0 language, and the ASP.NET MVC 2.0 web framework.

What do you get when you put Spolsky, Atwood, Blyth, and Hanselman in the same room? A crazy Content-Free podcast recorded backstage at the San Francisco DevDays conference. This episode runs a bit longer than usual and the sound quality isn't up to our usual standards. This is Scott's fault, not Lawrence's, our fantastic editor. :)
