      The One Where We Geek Out on Geeking Out with Scott Hanselman
      Jan 27 2026
      Key takeaways:Language models without context are meaningless.How Scott's son went on a smartphone detox by getting an Alcatel flip phone where he could swap SIM cards back and forth from his iPhone to his flip phone.Given enough experience with enough similar programming languages, you're able to transfer skills from one language to another, and even understand/write enough code in an unfamiliar language to be dangerous. 😜The line of dev and ops has been blurred.You should containerize an app once or twice so that you know what ops is doing. It makes you a true "full stack" developer, giving you an appreciation for various aspects of the SDLC, and it also gives you empathy for what folks in ops are doing. The same applies to testing.The amount of preparation for delivering a TED talk is a vastly different experience than preparing to deliver a talk at a conference.Most schools don't teach computer history and it's important to understand where the technology that we use comes from.About our guest:Scott Hanselman is a programmer, teacher, and speaker. He works out of his home office in Portland, Oregon for Microsoft as the Vice President of Developer Community. He works on .NET, Open Source, and the Azure Cloud Developer Experience. He blogs about technology, culture, gadgets, inclusion, code, the web, where we're going and where we've been. He's excited about community, social equity, media, entrepreneurship and above all, the open web.He has a number of fun podcasts and a YouTube channel.

      Key TakeawaysWe all experienced pregnancy differently, and it's okay to not love being pregnant while being in awe of the human being created inside of youTake some time off before you have your baby, because it just gets busy after thatMaternity leave varies from country.

    • The One Where We Geek Out on Saying, "I don't know" with Cortney Nickerson

      The One Where We Geek Out on Saying, "I don't know" with Cortney Nickerson
      Dec 2 2025
      Key takeaways:Humans are delightfully malleable! As a right-handed person being taught sports by a left-handed person, Cortney learned to play many sports left-handed!Devs who shifted into the ops space have a unique perspective because they have done it all - not just the dev work, but also the ops work.QAs bridge the gap for Dev and Ops, because they have had to make everybody communicate with each other and they feel everybody's pain.Admitting that you don't have all the answers and asking for help is a superpower, as it "liberates" others around you to ask questions.Being unafraid to ask questions and ask for clarifications is how Cortney was able to level up in tech, in spite of not having a technical background.People are willing to help you if you're willing to put in the effort and if you show them that you've been trying.The fact that tech constantly changes means that we have new opportunities to learn and gain expertise in new areas.When we're in the midst of feeling like we're not doing enough, sometimes we need others to remind us that yes, we ARE.We tend to be incredibly hard on ourselves. There are other people who see the effort that we make, and they appreciate what it is that we get done.Tech moves so quickly that whether you take a break for 6 weeks or 1 year, by the time you get back, things have changed.When you're raising a child and working, having a partner, spouse, or someone else you can lean on for support makes a huge difference. Support can be physical or emotional.We need to have conversations to normalize support for working moms.Once we have kids, people ask how our kids are doing, but now how we're doing. And yet, our kids' wellbeing depends on our wellbeing.Context is queen. We assume that people hold it together because they're just that good, but it reality, we don't realize that they have a whole village of people helping them out.About our guest:Cortney is Head of Community at Nirmata.

CORTNEY:At your own pace questions.ADRIANA:Yes, at your own pace questions. I like that okay. First question. Are you left handed or right handed?CORTNEY:Oh. Good question. Writing right handed. But batting in in softball. Left handed.ADRIANA:No way. That's so cool. CORTNEY:Yeah, yeah. ADRIANA:Does it throw people off? Like when you're batting left handed because, I mean, there's so ...
