I'm Matt, and I'm the Founder / Creator of all the content you see from us - I also run a podcast called The Learning Developers Podcast that we've...

Glad you like it Richard - and awesome!! It seems that you use a similar stack to us.

When I get 5 minutes I’ll drop you a DM and we can organise something! Can’t wait :D

I have no podcasting experience at all, but I'd really like to try it out. Looks like nice opportunity to get started with podcasting.

I have some topics, that might be interesting and I'd like to talk about, e.g.:

  • We've built our own UI Framework on top of Angular and Bootstrap. I could share some thoughts about why and how we did it, and when somebody should do that or definitely should not.
  • I am responsible for most of our development infrastructure, so there are a lot of things I could share, from self-hosting several services companies might need in their own network up to creating specific infrastructure for very specific needs and how to maintain that. Also some security insights in that context might be interesting.
  • I work partly remote/from home because I want to spend as much time as possible with my family. Remote-work is a really new concept to our company, so I could share some insights on how we switch from a "in-office-only" to a "everyone-can-work-remotely" culture for ~30 devs in less than two years without any productivity issues at all.

Richard - from all the points you laid out here, we'd love to have you on our podcast as we know your personal experience and expertise can provide so much value to beginners.

Can you drop us a message on DEV Connect (via our Profile)? Then we can get the ball rolling. We'd message you but we forgot it requires a mutual follow :)

Brownie points if you can help us get the Podcast feed on DEV.to... We've seen a few others do it but haven't managed to do it ourselves yet.

Hi Matt! We got our show (Public Function) listed by emailing yo@dev.to . Michael helped us out there.

Would love to be on the show. Definitely DM me!

Thanks for the insight Albert, super appreciated! Will be pinging an email over to them shortly.

Would you mind DM'ing us via our profile with a quick hello? We can't send you a message without a mutual follow, but our DM's are always open so if you pop a message in there then we can get the ball rolling :)

Maybe we can get you + Greg on at the same time! That'd be cool! Always happy to be a guest on yours if it makes any sense too.

I found your guys' dev course the other day and saw it was very beginner-friendly. I'll get a listen to the podcast maybe on Spotify and see what's all about.
Cheers!

Sweet Juan, glad you think it's beginner friendly. Please give us any criticism too as we're trying to ensure it's the best totally-free frontend crash course out there. Not because we're competitive, just because we want to help!

If you want more general tips on career, mindset, productivity in regards to being and becoming a developer, there's a lot of value you can get from our podcast and the guests we've had on. We've got another 13 lined up now too so there's sure to be some interesting conversations coming up!

Thanks for consuming our content :)

Yeah, I feel like it's a course I'd wanted to find out when I first started learning frontend couple of years ago. And like I said, I'll give a listen to some episodes to see what's all about and maybe later I could apply to be in it. That sounds like it could be really fun!

I have a pod over at dev.to/publicfunction drop me a DM. I’d like to chat!

My compadre does all the production work. I believe he is going to ping you about how we got listed.

Chat soon!

Thanks Greg - tu compadre Albert has kindly pointed us in the right direction. Thanks a bunch!

We'd love to have you on - if you could DM us that would be great as we can't do it without a mutual follow. Or if you and Albert both want to come on, maybe I can talk to just one of you or we can hop on a discord. I'm good either way.

Thanks for responding!
