Developers want to develop things
Nick Janetakis joins Jerod backstage to talk shop. We discuss how Nick is using the Changelog.com source code as a guide to build his video course platform, coding practices we’ve developed over the years, how to balance between shipping features and creating content, newsletters as the new social network, how Nick makes his videos, and a whole lot more.

Love the backstage format!! I always enjoy listening / watching episode one of content I really enjoy. I like to see how the content has progressed.

Jerod co-hosts The Changelog, crashes JS Party, and takes out the trash (his old code) once in awhile.

Happy to hear that you enjoyed it! You’re definitely not alone in going deep into podcast back catalogs…
The exception I referenced off-hand when qualifying my statement was The Incomparable. Since that show is about movies, tv shows, etc. I will sometimes go through their catalog and find older episodes where they discuss movies I’ve finally watched.

Good thing you linked that. After listening to the episode in its final form I thought to myself “I should have asked Jerod what his exception was”.
