Most episodes are not useful, with the occasional gem
I have really enjoyed some of the episodes, such as the CAP theorem from a few years ago, but most of the episodes are not useful for an experienced engineer because they stay at the introductory level for the topic. The interviewers often have zero experience with the topic, so their questions are not helpful. It’s common for an interviewer to spend 2/3 of the show stumbling through the background to try to understand what the topic is. This may be useful for brand new developers, but it’s frustrating for experienced developers who really want to learn about a topic from an expert. Even in the best episodes, the interviewers miss important questions. The show could be 10x better with some new interviewers who ask better questions, and think more critically rather than letting the show be a marketing platform for the guest.
