\\n\\nYOUR 2016 PHP PODCAST OF THE YEAR from simpleprogrammer.com
\\n\\nWelcome to the very first episode of 2017! We’re back after a nice break for the holidays and ready to get back to being insightful and unfiltered.
\\n\\nIn this episode we talked about the concept of “programming as craft” with Chris and Ed having a great discussion about what should follow after the phrase “programmers need to learn empathy.”
\\n\\nEd also released some music, and is donating all the proceeds to OSMI. Chris was sad that he did not get the opportunity to re-record the vocal tracks from some of Ed’s older material in his own signature vocal style.
\\n\\nChris also talked (not so briefly) about the new laptop he bought and the security measures he decided to take with it.
