Who are some great interviewers / podcasters for technical coding topics; like Joe is for MMA? Or Machine Learning Street Talk is for ML, etc.<p>I'd love to hear in depth interviews with people like:<p>- Video game lead engineer
- SpaceX flight systems engineer
- DeepMind infra. engineer
- HFT firm engineer
- etc. etc.
The closest I know of is Lex Friedman, but when he still gets technical guests on his show it's usually more about high level topics around AI and tech rather than the specifics about code or ML, although that sometimes happens. It's a great show to check out regardless.
I find Changelog podcasts (<a href="https://changelog.com/podcasts" rel="nofollow">https://changelog.com/podcasts</a>) very high quality.<p>Some examples:<p>- Richard Hipp (SQLite creator) (<a href="https://changelog.com/podcast/454" rel="nofollow">https://changelog.com/podcast/454</a>)<p>- Co-founder of Cockroach Labs (Massive scale and ultra-resilience)
Shawn Swyx Wang has been doing some fantastic interviews with various web dev engineers in his "Swyx Mixtape Podcast" series:<p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/c/swyxTV/featured" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/c/swyxTV/featured</a>
This doesn't really answer the question, but if you touch on PHP the PHP Internals podcast can be very informative. A lot of interviews of the people writing the RFCs for the next versions. And the host is the creator/maintainer of XDebug.<p><a href="https://phpinternals.news/" rel="nofollow">https://phpinternals.news/</a>
Lex Fridman. At first I thought, who is this unheralded plebe and how is he
getting famous people to talk to him? Turns out he's thoughtful, oddly
charismatic, sufficiently smart, and most importantly, non-cringey.
