“Maintainable has been the tech podcoast I have enjoyed the most in 2020.
It’s a simple format (how I like my code!) but mostly I enjoy listening to smart people talking about their experiences with big codebases.
It reminds me what it was like to have lunch with my colleagues.”

“I must have listened to at least 8 or 9 episodes so far and every one has been both enjoyable and informative. Robbys host style seems to bring out the best in his guests and the focus on maintainability (of code and of teams) is something I haven’t gotten so clearly from any other podcasts. If...”Read full review »

“Great content, just finished the latest two episodes.
Your guests explain a lot about how they got where they are now. It makes me feel my goals are not as far away as I thought they were.
I think you could improve on the quality of sound. I guess you record your voice with a proper microphone....”Read full review »
