In this end of year episode / Xmas bumper our two aging heroes host the Grumpy Old Coders

once again. Apart from having lots of fun, our four eclectic panelists discuss the year in

review and some obscure predictions the Inlaws made at the end of last year in S01E20 to

see if these became true or not. Plus a seriously long commercial break on mainframes

done by our own Chris (Arvind / Jim / IBM: If you're listening: the sponsor mail address

is [email protected]). Plus some juicy competitive knowledge about some hyperscalers.

Beans spilled right from the inside... In addition to cloud nightmares. So if you're into

horror after never mind beyond Halloween this is your episode... There might be the odd open source

angle to this episode but we are not sure and this of course is purely by accident - just find out for yourself! :-)
