I'm co-hosting a new podcast, Book Overflow
The premise is simple: two software engineers read one software engineering book per week and record a podcast about it.
Carter Morgan (Staff software engineer) and I (Staff Platform Engineer) have just finished recording our first three episodes on some software engineering classics.
- The Practice of Programming by Rob Pike and Brian W. Kernighan
- A Philosophy of Software Design by John Ousterhout
- Refactoring: Improving the Design of Existing Code by Martin Fowler
I found Carter when he posted on r/OMSCS that he was looking for a co-host for a new podcast. The concept sounded interesting (though admittedly, committing to reading one book per week also sounded a bit aggressive). It turns out that if I reign in consuming short-form content online, I have a lot of extra time in the mornings and evenings to allocate to reading all these great books. It’s just one more reminder of how mindless activities can creep into our lives, even if you get a lot of stuff done otherwise.
I hope you check it out. I’d love for you to learn and grow with us on our journey. Our podcast can be found on our Website, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and YouTube Channel.
