What podcasts do you listen to?

Having some truly inspiring web development podcasts in your bookmarks is a great way to learn. DEV.to has an awesome list of DEV podcasts, too.

Some of my favorites include Syntax, Full Stack Radio, Coding Blocks, Merge Conflict, Developer Tea and DevDiscuss.

What are your favorites to listen to?

Sure thing, it's always a great practice to listen to something non-tech as well. For example, I've listened to some Soft Skills Engineering episodes and they are awesome from a different perspective. 💯
I believe softs skills are heavily underrated in today's market. ☹

Soft skills are very important!
But also just some random stories make you relax, it’s ok to not be a dev 100% of the time.
Something many people expect or think sometimes

I see where you are going. Sometimes I like to take at least a couple days off and switch to something like hiking, biking, etc, where I can fully relax the mind. 🏞
It works wonders, as you come back fully energized and you can find solutions to stuff that didn't click for weeks at daily routine. ✨🧙‍♂️

I always wondered do they translate technical terms like containers, cache, hoisting, etc in non-English languages?? 👀

Hey, Basically no, we almost always say the technical terms in English, for example: "Hay que borrar la cache del navegador" o "Necesitamos un hosting para nuestra aplicacion" xD

Hahah, yeah I guess trying to translate particular terms might sound awkward 😂
At the end of the day, the key point is to understand the context 😉

Yes, in the end it is to understand the context

Python:

Tech/Software Development:

  • The Changelog - Conversations with the hackers, the leaders, and the innovators of software development.
  • DevNews Podcast (DEV.to) - The Podcast made by the People running this community ^^.
  • Software Defined Talk - Kubernetes, serverless, cloud, DevOps, & coding. Get the lazy WTF each week, mostly.
  • Practical Operations Podcast - A pragmatic podcast discussing Systems, Operations and Scaling with a focus on real world use cases and solutions to common problems.

Not Tech:

  • 99% invisible - 99% Invisible is a weekly exploration of the process and power of design and architecture.
  • Zeitsprung - German History Podcast. (dringende Empfehlung 😉 )

And some more, but those are the ones that came to mind immediately, and my phone is in another room right now... Maybe I will expand with another comment later. 🤷 😉

Changelog and DevNews were the only ones I've came across, but I assume the rest is 🔥🔥 too 😉

Coding Blocks is really good! I also really like the Ladybug Podcast - they always have some really insightful yet down-to-earth things to talk about in web dev.

Chats with Kent C. Dodds
The Polyglot Developer
The Stack Overflow Podcast

Only Syntax and DevNews. I try to limit the amount of podcasts I listen to otherwise the episodes can start to build up and it becomes a game of cat and mouse trying to listen to them all 😅

Corecursive is by far the best podcast I listen to. Every episode has at least one spicy take that challenges me and my assumptions about what "good code" is.
