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. Resources...

Don't call it a comeback; it was just the holiday season. We're back, and it's a new frickin' year, so we're going to need you to get all the way off our backs about not uploading for a few weeks.

Deciding whether to specialize in your developer skill set can be a difficult choice... or is it? In this episode, we hash out the final, correct answer to the question of whether or not specialization is, in fact, for insects (or just COBOL devs).
