Fredrik talks VR with Azad Balabanian. Az is director of photogrammetry at Realities.io, likes flying cameras and hosts the excellent Research VR podcast. We cover how VR is coming along, how it has evolved since 2016, and what exciting things are happening right now. We also discuss how you might get started with VR, as a developer or otherwise, how Az and other do exciting work in VR, and some of the interesting ethical questions being raised. Hopefully we won’t make all the mistakes of social networks again in VR.

Fredrik talks to Dan Lebrero, long-time Java developer turned Clojure developer, REPL-user, efficiency-thinker and more.

We discuss the wonders of REPL-driven development, and how it works. Dan opens Fredrik’s eyes somewhat to the possibilities and how they happen. The REPL can complement TDD, and also probably kill test writing for those not completely test infected.

We also discuss finding good tools, learning them, and of course building your own tools. Have you learned Bash as well as it deserves?

Fredrik talks to Bartosz Milewski - programmer, writer and creator of mind-expanding presentations - about a wide range of things in the lands between mathematics and programming. Bartosz explains his increasing interest in mathematics, type and category theory and why he thinks mathematics and programming can and are coming closer together.

We eventually get to the topic of Bartosz' talk last year, and perhaps the only way humans can understand things and how that affects what we discover. Perhaps even what we are able to discover.

Recorded at Øredev 2017, Fredrik talks to Rikke Koblauch about social anxiety, turning a passion into a side project and possibly even a living eventually. One of Rikke’s examples is Steps - the service Rikke is creating to help overcome social anxiety. How can we make environments more inclusive in a world which seems very designed for extroverts? Healtcare and preventive tools - wouldn’t everything be better if we all could get help and tools easily before small health problems turn into big ones? Rikke has worked with the Danish mental health fund and shares some experience on getting support from and working with large government organizations. We also talk a bit about how to avoid burning out on passion projects should they become popular and generate excitement from others. Perhaps we need to manage our own expectations of ourselves better?

From Swampup 2018, Tobias and his colleague Tamás Szelei summarize the conference, their impressions and the talks. Liquid software, mentalists, talks way over your head and speakers who are an aquired taste.

Then, Tobias and Jerry Wiltse discuss Bincrafters and their work on creating packages for Conan. The quest to make Conan the NPM of C++.

Finally Tobias chats with Diego Rodriguez-Losada - who discussed Conan in episode 198 - about his experience of the conference and the Conan aspect and community in particular. Conan’s two user groups - the open source side who basically wants Conan to be the NPM of C++, and the enterprise side with people like Tobias, who are interested in controlling their whole stack without relying on external packages and want to control of the whole toolchain.

Tobias and Fredrik talk to Erez Zukerman, CEO and co-founder of Ergodox EZ, creators of the ergonomic mechanical keyboard of the same name. Tobias is a fan and user since a while back, and Erez tells us about why you decide to make a keyboard, how you manage to ship hardware on time the first time, how things are going and a little bit about what’s in store for the future of Ergodox EZ. We wrap up with a few listener questions. If you have more, just send them to Erez or us, we will grab any reasons to talk even more about keyboards! Thanks a lot for taking the time Erez!

Recorded at Øredev 2017, Fredrik talks to Marco Ceccione about the ZX Spectrum, positive hacking (the only kind there is!), the benefits of getting closer to the metal and finally balancing coding and management.

Marco is an engineering manager at Toptal. Before that, he worked at Stack overflow, where, among other things, he wrote object-oriented assembly to solve real-wold problems on a huge scale. Yes, that’s a real thing, discussion and links explains it all.

Fredrik chats with Steve Klabnik about Rust, why the lucky stiff, Closure and Webassembly.

What does Steve do, how is Rust coming along and how does the process work?

Who was why the lucky stiff and why does his publication later named Closure matter to people?

Finally: Webassembly, making the web good for applications in general and why Steve thinks it will be the biggest thing since Javascript was added to browsers.

Fredrik discusses VR with Noah Falstein of the Inspiracy (and previously companies such as Google and Lucasfilm games). We talk about where VR is today, which platforms are good today and what might happen going forward. VR might be on the verge of a big breakthrough but there is still a lot left to be discovered, from ways of controlling experiences to entire new genres.
