Design Better
The Webby-nominated Design Better podcast was made to inspire better products, with insights from influential product designers worldwide.
Jim Tyrell, chief application services architect at Red Hat, says, "Design Better gathers the best thinkers and leaders in design thinking. The episodes are short interviews, perfect for your morning walk or commute, chock full of books I want to read and insights I've not heard anywhere else, that all inspire me to be a better software developer."
Maintainable
Hearing how other people solve problems is a great way to learn how to solve your own issues. The Maintainable podcast, hosted by Robby Russell, who created Oh My Zsh, features seasoned practitioners sharing lessons learned with technical debt and legacy code. They offer real-world approaches and tangible, actionable advice toward "the art of improving existing software" (which is the podcast's subtitle).
Evan Stoner, a senior specialist solutions architect at Red Hat, is a Maintainable fan. "While it's fun to build new things (we call those 'greenfield' projects), the job of an architect is filled with a lot of 'brownfield' too: projects that have been underway for years, or even decades, before we showed up," he says. "Learning how to approach, deconstruct, and improve such projects quickly becomes an invaluable skill in an architect's career. In this podcast, you learn how others have attacked technical debt and legacy code—and lived to tell the tale."
