Am biased in both cases, but would recommend https://softwareengineeringdaily.com/ for topics across the field, https://generallyintelligent.com/podcast/ for (focused) interviews with (mostly) ML researchers. SED has multiple hosts now on top of broad subject matter but I'd recommend the George Hotz (self driving cars) or Dmitri Maslov (quantum computing) episodes.
Disclaimer: I'm affiliated with the former and work for the latter

[0] The Jordan Harbinger Show - Jordan has some amazing guests, is charismatic, and a pleasure to listen to (twice a week)
[1] No Such Thing as a Fish - Dan, James, Andrew and #GetAnnaOnTwitter deliver interesting facts with great humour (weekly)
[2] Techmeme Ride Home - Brian gives a great brief breakdown of tech news (daily)
[3] Software Engineering Daily - Mostly interesting deep dives, when it's not a promotional piece by a company. Better when Jeff hosts (insanely: daily)

HN is a great resource with plenty of important news posted, along with the HighScalability blog [1] and SoftwareEngineeringDaily podcast [2].
1. http://highscalability.com/
2. https://softwareengineeringdaily.com/
Other than that, reading the blogs of the various vendors is how I keep up (using Feedly with RSS). The modern projects are Redshift, BigQuery, Snowflake, Azure DW, MemSQL, Clickhouse, YellowBrick with older projects being Vertica, Teradata, Greenplum. It's also useful to follow the "new" distributed SQL projects like CockroachDB, Citus, TiDB, Vitess, Yugabyte.

Awesome product. I love that podcasts are getting more attention, with companies creating discovery platforms like http://producthunt.com/podcasts.
One suggestion - would be really nice to have categories for podcasts. Much like movies, it is difficult for niche/indie movies to compete with the super well funded hollywood productions. For example, we produce a software podcast (http://softwareengineeringdaily.com) and it would be a huge benefit to be able to search for Tech specific shows and see what's relevant to you.
Keep up the good work!

btw, there is a recent interview with an Asani dev focusing on GPUs, worth a listen for those interested in linux on apple silicon. The reverse engineering effort required to pin down the GPU hardware was one of the main topics.

SE Daily podcast episode "CAP Theorem 23 Years Later with Eric Brewer" touches on it a bit. On the whole an excellent episode.

https://softwareengineeringdaily.com/ has quite a backlog of good episodes but during covid the show kinda got off track.

I also love their encrypted git, teams, and file system. I think it’s a fantastic service.
This interview with Software Engineering Daily gave me a lot of insight into the company. I think most of the hot takes in this thread miss their deal.

For those who liked the podcast, I would also recommend this one:

Dr. Richard Hipp is truly an inspiration.

There's a great podcast that covers it:

Even the ethical questions about working at facebook aside, as an engineering environment fb doesn't seem like that great of a place. Kent Beck was fired from fb, he worked there for a few years and shared his experience of the culture there https://softwareengineeringdaily.com/2020/12/10/facebook-engineering-p… It doesn't sound like a place I'd want to work at.
Edit: Updated the link to the right podcast.

If you're an analyst, I second the recommendation for dbt. Here's a podcast interview with the CEO of the company behind dbt that explains a lot of the philosophy, and I think will help you even if you don't end up using dbt: https://softwareengineeringdaily.com/2020/03/09/dbt-data-build-tool-wi…

OSM is a really cool idea, and a fantastic dataset! For people curious about what it's like to use OSM in a huge company, a couple engineers from facebook were recently on a podcast discussing it: https://softwareengineeringdaily.com/2020/04/17/facebook-openstreetmap…
Some interesting tidbits: FB are hyper-conscious of "graffiti-edits" that can sometimes sneak into OSM, so they built a system to self-host the OSM data, which periodically and selectively merges chunks of data from upstream, using fancy algorithms to flag "suspicious" edits upstream.

Sinking a lot of time into Netflix and YouTube lately.
For a more productive downtime, I like going through...
- https://www.joelonsoftware.com/
- https://www.heavybit.com/library/
- https://softwareengineeringdaily.com
Sometimes I find myself day-dreaming, jotting down ideas in my notebook (read: Sublime text) for future projects and things I wanna do.
PS: Hello ex-APIMatician.

Link to podcast for the lazy https://lexfridman.com/ai/.
Looks good, thanks for sharing! I've had a hard time finding podcasts that have a conversational style that I enjoy; so far I like only https://softwareengineeringdaily.com/, but this one looks really promising.
imglorp · 2019-09-24
I'd like to give a shout out to one pod caster in particular that might be of interest to this audience: https://softwareengineeringdaily.com
There are ads, but they are spoken by the host in his normal tone. No loudness tricks, just one minute reading the copy. I suppose OP's tool won't detect this unless a human tags all the spots.
Second, the ads are focused to the audience and may actually be useful sometimes: hosting companies, SAS tools, etc.
parthdesai · 2019-05-29
If you are interested in something like that, i would recommend you to listen to this podcast [0]. One of the stories from what i remember is that someone had run a `delete table` command but it turned out that processor had a bit off which mapped `create table` command to `delete table`. It's really really interesting.

Great paper, I've only gone through about 10% of it, but it offers a lot that the vendor docs and industry talks don't.
Btw, this is David Patterson one of the inventors of RISC fame. Great podcast with him here (mostly about new Tensorflow chip and history): https://softwareengineeringdaily.com/2018/11/07/computer-architecture-…
Worth noting that he's at Google, but it looks like he had AWS reviewers.
JustMatthew · 2018-08-06
Although it isn't a blog in the traditional sense - so forgive me if this doesn't hit your brief - the Software Engineering Daily Podcast (https://softwareengineeringdaily.com/category/podcast/) is a fantastic resource that offers an immense amount of information for a lot of different people, including those setting out to build business applications.
Each episode is accompanied by super detailed show-notes that summarize the episode nicely, so you can see if the episode has what you think you may be looking for.
Cheers and good luck.
mycelium · 2018-08-02
Thanks to both of you for your time doing that discussion!
@slap_shot and anyone else — I'm curious if you have thoughts on, or even have heard of the Ballerina language? It's a programming language for doing data integration work, built by the ESB/integration consultancy WSO2. It seems to have a lot of eng resources sunk into it but surprisingly little fanfare.
The CEO's interview with the Software Engineering Daily podcast was great: https://softwareengineeringdaily.com/2018/07/12/ballerina-language-wit…
The language site tends toward buzzword-salad, but clearly has had a lot of love and thought put into it: https://ballerina.io/philosophy/

Web3 with Fabian Vogelsteller by Software Engineering Daily
https://softwareengineeringdaily.com/
Releases episodes 5 days a week, 40-60mins long, all related to software engineering but range from business development to blockchain backend.
The episodes are very structured which I really like but some interesting subjects are cut short to maintain the intended structure.
cynwoody · 2018-03-13
It appears the old site is https://softwareengineeringdaily.com/, and the new site ("in early beta") is https://softwaredaily.com/. The two sites appear to contain the same set of podcasts.
You can find an RSS feed at:
https://softwareengineeringdaily.com/feed/podcast
Somewhat confusingly, the new site has a navigation link, labeled "Feed", at the top of the page. But it's not an RSS feed. Rather, it leads to a compendium of links to interesting articles on software engineering from around the web. It looks like the plan is to implement voting for the articles (there is a vote count, but it's empty).
randomsofr · 2018-03-12
The site feels so buggy to me, that weird css load and the logo carousel behaves so odd (not to mention the wrong hover on the left/right arrows), i just can't stand it.

It’s not the same as the paper for performance reasons. This is noted in the github README. Martin said on Software Engineering Daily late last year that Automerge was three orders of magnitude faster than his published version of the JSON CRDT.
This is my second time highly recommending a Software Engineering Daily podcast with Martin Kleppman on it. He is really smart and able to break down really complex topics in a way that's easy to understand. If you've never heard of CRDTs before, have a listen - https://softwareengineeringdaily.com/2017/12/08/decentralized-objects-…
wenc · 2018-02-05
Worth noting is the fact that this does not require a central transformation server unlike Google Docs' OT approach.
This means you can sync peer-to-peer without an Internet connection if say you have a Bluetooth connection between your phone and your laptop on an airplane.
Martin Kleppmann explains CRDT in detail in an episode of Software Engineering Daily.

As a person who would love more freelancing opportunities, the market is littered with sketchy proposals, undercut / underpaid projects, and just a bad experience.
Software Engineering Daily had a episode[1] on Gigster that seems to be trying to solve this, but I have no experience with that. They also tout only hiring "1% of all developers who apply," which doesn't really solve the other 99% of freelancer's problems.
