Mark's just finished 2 days of selecting and curating talks for NDC London 2025 and shares some tips for persuading committee members to pick you. Dylan's been making courses and trying to juggle 14 other balls at the same time.

CPH DevFest gave us a stage and an audience to record this week's podcast, so we repaid them by doing one of our usual random, meandering conversations.

It's Dylan's birthday and he's spending it doing homework for the Copenhagen Developers' Festival next week. Meanwhile Mark wants to know why developing for Apple hardware is so difficult.

32 episodes! Such a lovely round number that Mark slept through it and Dylan had to fill an hour of airtime on his own, which he does magnificently.

Dylan's on a train this week so the excellent Kevlin Henney joins Mark to talk about legacy code, bitrot, and the inevitable displacement of big, old companies by fast-moving start-ups.

WARNING: SPOILERS FOR DEADPOOL AND WOLVERINE

Well, gosh, we have absolutely NO IDEA what we might talk about this week in a weekly podcast about the week's events in the world of technology. Not a clue. Nope.

Dylan's been having huge amounts of fun with C#, WASM, Ruby and JavaScript - all at the same time! Mark's been building a new thing, playing with the Meta Quest 3 and finally watching the latest Indiana Jones movie, although not at the same time.

Dylan's been at home working on Rockstar 2 and enjoying Tidal's musical recommendations. Mark's been trying to work with an AMQP API using the wrong PDF document, wondering what a smart ring is, and Ford's turned the Capri into an electric SUV. And folding phones and AR headsets are like super-conducting hoverboards.

Oh no, I completely forgot to upload this episode last week. Sorry. Also the title is what we used on YouTube for the recording but I don't remember talking about Lezer Grammars or Democracy Sausages, although we definitely did talk about quantum crosswords, Arduinos and that scouse baby.
