Hello and welcome. Today we’re diving into Emily Bache’s talk on “The Last Remaining Good Idea in Software Craftsmanship.” She points out that practices like TDD, pair programming and code katas have all been absorbed into mainstream engineering. Yet one core idea still shines: the commitment to continuous improvement and mentorship. As Emily reminds us, “Software craftsmanship is about writing code you’re proud of—and helping others do the same.” It’s not just a set of techniques; it’s a

2025/05/28

Welcome to The Daily Brief. Japan’s government debt has swelled to nearly nine trillion dollars—more than twice the size of its economy—and now even low interest rates can’t hide the strain. For years, Tokyo fueled public works, pandemic relief and social security for an aging population by borrowing at rock-bottom rates. But as the Bank of Japan moves away from negative interest rates, bond yields have spiked to multi-year highs. Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba warned of the “terror” of

Today on our show, Elon Musk takes aim at President Trump’s new Republican domestic policy bill. In a recent CBS interview, Musk criticized the “One Big Beautiful Bill” for adding $3.8 trillion to the national debt over the next decade. “I was disappointed to see the massive spending bill, frankly, which increases the budget deficit, not just decreases it, and undermines the work that the DOGE team is doing,” he said. Musk also quipped, “I think a bill can be big or it could be beautiful

Welcome to Tech Bytes. Today we’re talking about a new browser called Deta Surf that “clicked” for Fast Company reporter Jared Newman the moment he saw its screenshot-to-pinboard feature. Imagine taking a snapshot of any web page, saving it to a “My Stuff” menu, and then instantly jumping back to the live page—all with full-text search across pages, screenshots, PDFs, and even your own notes. Newman says it feels “as if a browser was built around the idea of bookmarking, instead of the

2025/05/28

Welcome back to the Future Perfect podcast. Today we’re talking about how America is squandering its two greatest privileges. First, the dollar’s “exorbitant privilege,” a term coined in 1965 by France’s Valéry Giscard d’Estaing. Because the dollar dominates global trade, the U.S. can borrow cheaply and live beyond its means. But with annual deficits near 6 percent of GDP and rising interest rates, that privilege is eroding. Second, our world-leading universities have long been magnets for

Hello and welcome to Today at Work. If you’ve ever worn burnout like a badge of honor, you’re not alone. In a new Fast Company article, one writer reflects on her twenties, when “my identity was stitched to my output,” answering emails at 11 p.m. and treating every ping like an emergency. Parenthood forced her to break that invisible contract and start living out loud. She calls it “loud living”—not doing less, but showing up better, with boundaries that aren’t padded with apologies. She

Hello, and welcome to the C++ Basics podcast. I’m your host, and today we’re diving into name lookup—how the compiler finds symbols in your code. First up, Qualified Name Lookup.

It does not search enclosing or outer scopes.” So when you write a::b::x, the compiler only looks inside a::b. Next, Unqualified Name Lookup applies when you refer to a symbol without qualification
