Friday Afternoon Deploy: A Developer Podcast
Lofty Labs
Episodes and show notes available at friday.hirelofty.com. An unapologetic show about the culture and chaos of software engineering from the makers and breakers of digital products at Lofty Labs. We build software with Python and Django, Ruby and Rails, Golang, whatever frontend framework we're forced to use because it's popular this month, and anything else to get the job done right. Then on Friday afternoons we have a beer and talk about our regrets on this show.

Episode Quote: “Being a commodity is not inherently a bad thing. It's just a reality. There are all kinds of commodities because there's rice and then there's gold. And, if you were to look at development labor as a commodity, it's definitely on the rare, expensive side of things that commands a high price. But anytime you have a short - and there'…
