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

Adam Gordon Bell April 2nd Hey! I have a new podcast episode out about this graph: I know that doesn't sound exciting, but it actually is! https://corecursive.com/briffa-sep98-e/ That is a famous climate change graph that caused a lot of controversy, with newspapers and news shows accusing scientists of fraud and deception. While scientists claimed they were victims of a targeted attack. I got a little obsessed with what actually happened. It happened 15 years ago, but the code is still out...

Adam Gordon Bell Oct 2nd Hey! I have a new podcast episode is out: https://corecursive.com/one-million-checkboxes-with-nolen-royalty/ It's at the intersection of coding, game building, art and online trolls. That is to say it's a super fun episode about building something and having it become really really huge and all the unexpected things that follow. But it's also about how the internet used to be more fun, and how Nolen Royalty is trying to bring us back to the era of Boaty McBoatface I...
