Stroustrup, Recht, ADA, de Moura, etc. That's already a really solid list. Thanks so much for making both the interviews and transcripts available for everyone. Oh, and the thoughtful questions too, of course!

I really enjoy your podcast. Keep up the great work! If you're ever in the Seattle area give me a shout, and we can grab a coffee or a bite.

I've been a fan of your content ever since you were The Developing Dev and I'm impressed that your content has been such high-quality while you've resisted monetizing for so long. I've also loved the different directions your work has gone in. You're both an excellent writer and interviewer.

You deserve to be paid and I'm glad you're taking steps to do so! Looking forward to this next phase of your creator journey.

Long time fan of your substack & podcast and I have always appreciated the time and effort you put into each of your creations. One suggestion which I think could help your podcast reach more people: as a GenZ Asian woman, I couldn't help but notice that most of your guests share a similar demographic profile -- older white men. Their career stories are fascinating but they are not extremely relevant to the universe that I am navigating. I would love to hear from guests from different career stages, different backgrounds, and especially different genders.

Appreciate the suggestion I'll keep it in mind! It is likely a byproduct of CS being male dominated and even more so in the past

For instance, Barbara Liskov wasn't even allowed to study CS because she was a girl (episode here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T9CGjbPZeaM)
