Friday Afternoon Deploy: A Developer Podcast

Blake is back! We cover a range of topics, including Alan's latest bash alias.

We're in Kansas City to celebrate Lofty Labs turning 5!

Pull Requests are our guest interview format, and for our first ever we've got Elissa Shevinsky (formerly of Geekcorps, Everyday Health, and Brave) and Brett Thomas (formerly of PGP, Vindicia) who are co-founders of Faster Than Light chatting with us about static analysis and devops.

Alex is a Rails developer who has come to build Django apps at Lofty. Alan is a Django developer who just inherited a Rails project for maintenance. Casey plays Dr. Phil and asks them to say nice things about the other's framework.

Alan, Casey, and Tyrel talk about web app builder tools like Anvil (which we were recently introduced to) and try to evaluate their usefulness and audience.

Seth Kaffka, Account Executive here at Lofty Labs joins us for the show where Alan and Casey quiz him on his programming knowledge.

Alex talks through his frustrations trying to add Django Channels to an existing Django project, we talk about the new hotness with Pipenv, and touch on the value of good code review etiquette.

We cover a lot of topics, including recent work on a Vue.js project, some drama in the Python community, whatever the hell Milkshaking is, and more.

Cath Thomas, developer of the Shadowlands Dapp platform for Etherium, joins us this week to talk, Python, cryptocurrencies, Etherium, and about his app Shadowlands.

Alex Williams is back with us this time as a Lofty Labs teammate and not a guest! Alex, Tyrel, Alan, and Casey talk about some of the movement towards AsyncIO in Django's roadmap most recently brought to attention by Tom Christie's keynote at DjangoCon Europe 2019.
