Tech, Bugs & Rock & Roll

Dylan is on an intergalactic cruise in his office, so Rendle is joined by the wonderful Eli Holderness to talk about whatever they've found interesting this week.

Mark is going to use Kotlin, Dylan is handling errors in Rockstar, and Bluesky is properly taking off at last.

Mark is in Malmö for Øredev, Dylan isn’t, stuff shall be discussed…

We both just got back from KanDDDinsky in Berlin and at least one of us is already checked in for their next flight... but hey, that's not until tomorrow, so let's do a podcast!

No idea what we're talking about in this one but I expect it will be the usual stream-of-bobbins that you know and love.

Mark and Dylan are both busy this week so here's one we made earlier, geeking out about games we like and stuff.

Dylan and Mark talk about the ongoing WP Engine vs WordPress saga; a variant on the Y2K bug; more unethical AI; and the mystery of the "mercurial cores".

WinAmp have released the source code for the legacy player but it's not exactly... open. Dylan and Mark about using AI to generate podcasts, and how AI coding assistants will be better when you can actually talk to them, the current fracas in the WordPress community, and how those "Star Wars in 1950s Panavision" videos you keep seeing on YouTube are made. Dylan uses a naughty word in this one.

Dylan's on another aeroplane so fellow Linebreaker Hannes joins Mark to talk about positive code reviews and the conversation just kind of rambles on from there really

NASA have decided that the transistors in the Europa Clipper are hardcore enough to survive Jupiter's radiation, plus whatever else we talked about, Spotify lost the upload originally and I can't remember.
