Hello CoRecursive newsletter subscriber,

It's November now, and I have a new episode out here:

https://corecursive.com/leaving-debian/​

The episode is about Joey Hess and his time working on Debian. I've been a fan of Joey for some time, and when he commented on a recent episode on hacker news, I reached out to him to see if he might want to chat.

He lives off the grid in the hills of Tennessee, and it was that unusual setup that initially caught my attention. But as we talked, it turned out that the story of Debian and his involvement in that project was a story that needed to be shared.

When we talked back in August, Joey's home's off-the-grid nature changed one thing about the interview: instead of my usual video call, we spoke over the phone.

I'm happy the episode is out now! Let me know what you think of it (you can reply directly to this email)! I'll also be releasing some additional parts of my chat with Joey to my patreon supporters.​

Other Content:

I've written some career advice for software developers here and am working on the first part of a guide for using bash. The career advice article seems to have been well received except for the fact that I used Jeff Bezos as an example. Point taken, billionaires make for bad examples. I still think the advice is valuable but let me know what you think (did I mention you can reply to this email).

I've also released the first CoRecursive bonus episode. It's a continuation of my chat with Paul Lutus, and he shares his thoughts on modern software development and a couple of exciting stories about bears and sailing.
​

Thanks,

Adam
