  • How We Got Our First Dev Job (Lost Episode)

    How We Got Our First Dev Job (Lost Episode)
    Jun 11 2026
    We’re taking a trip down memory lane to discuss the milestone every developer remembers: landing that very first job. Whether it was through a standard application, a side project gone right, or just being in the right place at the right time, we break down our individual paths into the industry. We dive into the realities of the early dev grind, the skills that actually mattered vs. what we thought mattered, and how the landscape has shifted since we started. If you’re currently looking for your first role or just love a good origin story, this one's for you.

    Trash vs Linux
    May 29 2026
    Peep Trash’s Dotfiles: https://github.com/bautistaaa/dotfiles Trash takes us through his "hell on earth" first week switching from Mac to Linux. From battling Wi-Fi drivers on an ancient MacBook Air to discovering the aesthetic joy of Hyperland and custom dot files, this episode covers the highs and lows of the Linux desktop experience. We also dive into the messy definitions of AGI, the utility of efficiency cores in modern CPUs, and why everyone needs a dedicated snack officer. Thanks to this week's sponsor: Code Rabbit If you're tired of developers just replying with LGTM, then you NEED Code Rabbit.

    Bullsh*t Engineers Say Tier List (Lost Episode)
    May 15 2026

From the classic "It depends" to the controversial "Premature optimization is the root of all evil," the team ranks these common dev phrases on a tier list based on how much they actually hinder or help real problem-solving.

  • Casey VS Microsoft

    Casey VS Microsoft
    May 8 2026
    We dive deep into the recent Windows 11 update and Microsoft's claim of a "performance-first" rewrite for the Run dialogue. Is 94 milliseconds actually fast, or is it just "cope"? Casey breaks down why measuring UI responsiveness in FPS matters, the "racing the beam" philosophy, and why he’s officially done with Windows for good. We also get an update on Trash's "unethical" Pokémon card bot army, his Slack status management at Netflix, and why "Family Feud" on a floppy disk was the peak of gaming.
