Grumpy old Coders

Thomas and David talk about complexity classes, book recommendations, the meaning of the number 37, far too many books, and other life complexities.

The March episode is about 'Agile Software Development'. We explore the history, discuss why 'agile' makes sense, and give a brief introduction into several methodologies. We are also getting a bit grumpy about the fact that 'agile' is sometimes mixed up with 'quick and dirty'.

Thomas and David chat about cryptocurrencies, blockchain and NFT-s. Do you want to know why we are all living in a big bubble? Then listen to this episode ;-) .

The 12th episode is called 'Just thingies'. Thomas and David are talking about a piece of art which got some human-machine interaction added with the help of the Arduino open-source electronic prototyping platform.

The 11th episode of the Grumpy old Coders podcast covers a more serious topic. Thomas and David discuss about the dark side of working in ever-changing and demanding work environment.

This is the ninth episode of the tech podcast ‘Grumpy old Coders’. David started to work a bit with Kotlin. So Thomas and David take a look at two of David’s toy projects which kicks off a vital discussion about coding with Kotlin and should give you a good first impression about this programming language. We are referring to some source code examples in this episode. They can be found under 'https://github.com/nosqlgeek/kEventLib' and 'https://github.com/nosqlgeek/kRTree'.

This is the eighth episode of the tech podcast ‘Grumpy old Coders’. We have two special guests this time.
