Published: July 5, 2019, 4 p.m.

b'UNLOCKED! Terry Davis was a schizophrenic programmer who wrote an operating system to communicate with God. We examine both Temple OS and his turbulent life \\u2014 which became intertwined with forum culture & the chans. We then interview Jeff Atwood, the co-founder of Stack Overflow and Discourse. He talks to us about building less shitty online communities, why programmers can be pedantic, and how in 1988 he built a "war dialer" to better network with other teens in the "Warez" scene.\\n\\nFollow Jeff Atwood: twitter.com/codinghorror\\n\\nVisit patreon.com/qanonanonymous to support the podcast.\\nFor 5 bucks a month, get a premium episode every week, plus access to the back catalogue.'
