Wow! I'm putting together a podcast about emacs and I'd love to talk to you about your experience for it. Please contact [email protected] if you're interested.
This is a phenomenon we see over and over with our "Unpopular Opinions" segment. The summary statement is often unpopular, but once you hear out the person's reasoning (unless it's about food or something purely subjective) most people end up agreeing with them.
It's been tough to get _truly_ unpopular opinions (as voted on by Twitter/Mastodon users) represented on the pods.
We're hard at work on the transcript for those of you who'd rather read than listen. It usually takes a couple days and there's a link at the bottom of the page you can click to be notified of when it's published.
Hope you enjoy the conversation, Brian does not disappoint!
Richard Hipp discussed this (alongside a deep-dive on the philosophies underpinning his Fossil SCM) when we had him back on The Changelog podcast recently:
Thanks for sharing and listening! We also publish transcripts[1] for every episode we produce, but it takes a few days so if you'd rather read than listen, stay tuned and we'll post the transcript soon. <3
This quote from Adam on our episode about the setup explains some of our motivations here:
> It’s worth noting that we don’t really need what we have around Kubernetes. This is for fun, to some degree. One, we love Linode, they’re a great partner… Two, we love you, Gerhard, and all the work you’ve done here… We don’t really need this setup. One, it’s about learning ourselves, but then also sharing that. Obviously, Changelog.com is open source, so if you’re curious how this is implemented, you can look in our codebase. But beyond that, I think it’s important to remind our audience that we don’t really need this; it’s fun to have, and actually a worthwhile investment for us, because this does cost us money (Gerhard does not work for free), and it’s part of this desire to learn for ourselves, and then also to share it with everyone else… So that’s fun. It’s fun to do.
Sorry for the hassle! We’ve been hit by lots of spammers lately so I battened down the hatches. Unfortunately this has the side effect of also blocking some legit humans as well. :(
