Fake job applicants? Vehicle accidents? Swedish death cleaning in software? The FAD crew muse about mortality, tech and more.

Big Chris, Tyrel, and Casey finally fit in the new sound booth - just in time to talk about pop culture, dogs, and the wild hiring season.

Sometimes, Casey and the FAD crew actually talk about coding, Javascript, Python, HMTX, and more. Who would have thought?

The team gets together to regale listeners about origin stories, SaaS fillers, and the adventures of having tech-savvy kids.

It’s Lab Day at Lofty! The crew get together to talk about demos, speculate on dropping tables, and enable custom Slack notifications. Hummus, anyone?

The FAD Crew gather around to share stories of their watch choices, subscription-only seat warmers, and the FCC's 'official observers'. Also, Kubernetes.

Blake rejoins Casey and Tyrel to regale them with tales of his new workplace. They discuss why the podcast is a great culture filter for Lofty, what databases shouldn’t be your primary persistent data store, and why it’s so hard to stay off Facebook. Get on the enterprise service bus - it’s time for Friday Afternoon Deploy.

“So we actually did lots of, like, unformalized pairing. And I think, in a remote situation you do kind of have to formalize some of that, because what you don't realize is how much domain knowledge gets lost or siloed really quickly that without being in a room together, just even hearing conversations and stuff like that. … Stuff organically percolates and expands when you're all in the same room.’”

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from the FAD Crew! We welcome back Meredydd, founder of Anvil, and talk the virtues of tv's as monitors, transatlantic cabling, and Lisp.

Tyrel and Casey are joined once more by Chris Allen (Big Chris) as they talk about being NFT-curious, why being software-aware in sales works, and where the idea of mallsoft meets HTMLX. Also, mayonnaise versus Miracle Whip.
