One Hundred Episodes

Hello, CoRecursive newsletter subscriber,

It’s May now, and I have a new episode out. But it’s just not just any episode 100, and it’s something special. :

​https://corecursive.com/coding-machines-with-don-and-krystal/​

​
It's a story about debugging code, and I don't want to spoil it, but it blew my mind. It's about questioning the trust we put in our tools when building software. Also, Don and Krystal are back and sharing reflections on the 100th episode and the podcast.

Doing this episode was very energizing, and I think I needed that. Sometimes, getting the podcast done is just a lot of work, and with everything else going on in my life, it can wear me down a little bit.

At some point, I'd like to sit down and write down my thoughts on how far I've come with the podcast and discuss exciting things planned for the future. But for right now, I'm excited just to have executed a fiction episode. That's right, the hundredth episode is in part fictional yet very much in the podcast's theme.

Please give it a listen, and let me know what you think.

Thanks,

Adam
