Episode 8: Fry Guy, Cleanup in Aisle App

First off, we now have a sponsor for the podcast: Engine Yard.
This is something they will surely regret after listening to this
episode.


We started off with the idea of talking about technologies we
wish we had time to play with. Ed was talking about his attempts
at exploring Clojure, and how it’s likely he’ll be using Python
for work in the near future. This leads into a discussion of what
attracts us to certain languages and technologies, and when to
try to work a personal interest in to your day job. Then Chris
talks about how he will likely mess around with evented stuff
like Node.js or Twisted for his next book about HTTP APIs or
whatever.


We also go off on a discussion about HTPC stuff. I can’t really
remember how we got there.


In reality we mostly bullshitted through the whole thing, and
made fun of Engine Yard a bunch. Hopefully they know that they
have awesome products and don’t hate us now.


Feel free to hit us up on Twitter at @dev_hell or harass Ed and
Chris directly.
