This is going to happen for real! I already reached out to some amazing researchers and I started to read some papers. Also, I found an amazing name for the podcast (the hardest part... 😂 )!
So, few more things to iron out, but get ready because it will be amazing! 🚀

I am going to start a new podcast project, and I am looking for researchers (in academia or industry) that are doing research in any Computer Science "branch".

A lot of 💩 on Netflix for the issues with the streaming of the live event, but folks, there were like 60 million users watching at the same time… Customers had all the rights to be upset, but anyway kudos to @netflixeng.bsky.social. 🫡

I love chatting with folks, though it's sometimes hard to find time. I have also been wanting to do something even more broadly impactful.
So I'm trying something new: if you donate to one of these education charities, I will go out of my way to speak with you.

I kind of miss the days when I was coding with a programming language and enjoying it. The language itself, few libraries, and that's it.
Now we have much more libraries/frameworks/abstractions, and it is great. Everything feels "magic".
But I had much more fun before... Is it just me?
