I once asked, over on Mastodon, whether it was time to move off of LibSyn, and @james.crid.land mentioned that it wasn't something to be too worried about.
But with LibSyn closing their own podcast (The Feed) without much fanfare, it might be time to migrate The Modern .NET Show.

Do you know what I really dislike about SOME (heavy emphasis on the SOME part) of the tech community?
"I learned the hardest, so you have to too."
Can that attitude please go die in a dumpster fire? The reason we've made things easier is not to dumb them down, but to lower the barrier to entry.

💡 Rules of Programming Part 3: "Everyone writes better code if they know someone is going to look at it." Code reviews' primary benefit isn't bug hunting—it's social. Knowing review is coming changes behavior for the better.

💡 Uncomfortable truth: Software upgrades require continuous learning. If your team doesn't know what's new in dependencies, they can't plan upgrades effectively. Most disasters stem from knowledge gaps, not technical complexity.
