The Beer Driven Devs
The Beer Driven DevsDeep Focus, Blurred Values, and the Interruption TaxMatt was sick this week but showed up anyway, apologies for the slightly croaky voice! 🤒 This week marks our two-year anniversary of the podcast. 52 episodes. 2 × 26. No one’s birthday, but a milestone worth ranting about. So naturally, we mark the occasion with… a proper Matt rant. But beneath the theatrics, there’s a serious thread: this is our take on the maker vs manager schedule conflict, but expanded. We dig into the cost of fractured mornings, the deep work tax of standups and “quick” questions, and the way leadership roles often expect you to be perpetua...

The Beer Driven DevsEstimation lies we tell ourselvesTime to talk estimates. Again. In this episode, Matt and Liam circle back to one of software’s perennial pain points: estimation. But rather than rehashing the usual agile clichés, we dig into the psychology behind why we get it wrong so consistently, and so confidently. We explore: Planning fallacies and optimism bias Why developers often estimate based on their “best case scenario” flow state How familiarity skews our sense of effort The real-world difference between experienced devs and juniors (and why it’s not what you think) What makes some tasks “heavier” than others...

From the IdentityServer “rug pull” to Jimmy Bogard’s recent move to commercialise Automapper and MediatR, we explore what it means when open-source maintainers shift to paid models, and how the community responds.

The traditional path - junior, mid, senior, team lead, manager - suggests an inevitable trajectory, but is it really the only way? Matt and Liam dive into the realities of career growth, exploring why leadership and management are not the same thing and why moving “back” to an engineering role isn’t necessarily a step down.

The Beer Driven DevsHas JavaScript outstayed its welcome?In this episode, Matt rants about JavaScript—the language we all use, but few truly love. Is JavaScript objectively bad? Not necessarily.

We discuss: Why JavaScript was never meant for modern web applications The lowest-common-denominator problem and how it stifles progress How React, TypeScript, Next.js, and other frameworks exist just to fix JavaScript’s shortcomings The death of plugins (Silverlight, Flash, Java Applets) and how it forced JavaScript dominance What could finally break Java...

Filled with pure anger, Duffy writes what would end up becoming The Boondock Saints, a bullet riddled action drama about two brothers looking to seek vengeance against the scourge of society. Handing his draft over to a low rung staffer at New Line, the script changed hands between studios and producers. After a grueling bidding war, Harvey Weinstein and Miramax scored the rights to Duffy's draft, granting the first time screenwriter $450,000 and the ability to direct his magnum opus.
