Podcast gem from Uncle Bob
As I’ve mentioned I listen to different podcasts every now and then. Some provide useful information, some inspire me, some give food for thought and some are just simply funny (the dull ones I usually rewind). Before Christmas I have found one recording (not among the usual suspects) that looked interesting. I got to it yesterday.
The podcast came from the SE Radio show and is available at the following address:

So now you know - It’s an interview with Uncle Bob - a very clever guy whom I respect, admire and who is a 100% guarantee it will be worth listening two. As always I wasn’t disappointed - but this was probably the most comprehensive and interesting interview with Uncle Bob I have listened to also one that every developer should listen to as you will find out:
- who is Uncle Bob
- all about software craftsmanship
- career paths for developers
- past, present and future of computer languages
- static v.s. dynamic languages debate
- why developers are like lawyers or doctors
- and why we should never stop learning
