3.1 - More of the Same, But Different

The cold and the rain have returned to Vancouver, so we've returned to the Dev Show. After the long break, we're calling it Season 3 - it's more of the same, but different (but still the same).


Gyan has been learning more about machine learning infrastructure, and Nathan has been mostly focused on SOC 2 and moving resources to private subnets.

In this episode, we struggle to imagine writing code without structural design patterns as we describe each one, based on a link that Gyan found before we started recording.


We also cover the usual span of interesting, fun, and frustrating things - this time, including researchers who taught crows about recursion.
