Shooting the Breeze

On this weeks episode we are lucky to finally be in the same room recording the podcast in person, apologies for the low volume. We start off discussion with the Drobo, BeyondRAID, how hard giving estimates is, ‘bad’ code and impostor syndrome. Following on from this is a brief history behind the Mozilla name and Netscape, along with how bullish Microsoft was in the 90’s. This leads us on to talk about TDD coding katas, the current state of testing in JavaScript and Android fragmentation. Finally, we finish up the show with Hypermedia endpoints (HAL), and epic Microsoft Office - El Capitan bugs.
