<img width="150" height="99" src="https://www.codingblocks.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/Episode121.jpg" class="webfeedsFeaturedVisual wp-post-image" alt="" style="display: block; margin-bottom: 5px; clear:both;max-width: 100%;" link_thumbnail="" decoding="async" loading="lazy" /><img width="150" height="99" src="https://www.codingblocks.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/Episode121.jpg" class="attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="" style="float:left; margin:0 15px 15px 0;" decoding="async" loading="lazy" />We continue to study the teachings of Designing Data-Intensive Applications, while Michael's favorite book series might be the Twilight series, Joe blames his squeak toy chewing habit on his dogs, and Allen might be a Belieber.

<img width="150" height="99" src="https://www.codingblocks.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/Episode120.jpg" class="webfeedsFeaturedVisual wp-post-image" alt="" style="display: block; margin-bottom: 5px; clear:both;max-width: 100%;" link_thumbnail="" decoding="async" loading="lazy" /><img width="150" height="99" src="https://www.codingblocks.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/Episode120.jpg" class="attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="" style="float:left; margin:0 15px 15px 0;" decoding="async" loading="lazy" />We start our deep dive into Joe's favorite new book, Designing Data-Intensive Applications as Joe can't be stopped while running downhill, Michael might have a new spin on #fartgate, and Allen doesn't quite have a dozen tips this episode.

<img width="150" height="99" src="https://www.codingblocks.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/Episode119.jpg" class="webfeedsFeaturedVisual wp-post-image" alt="" style="display: block; margin-bottom: 5px; clear:both;max-width: 100%;" link_thumbnail="" decoding="async" loading="lazy" /><img width="150" height="99" src="https://www.codingblocks.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/Episode119.jpg" class="attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="" style="float:left; margin:0 15px 15px 0;" decoding="async" loading="lazy" />We discuss this year's shopping spree only to learn that Michael spent too much, Allen spent too much, and Joe spent too much.

<img width="150" height="99" src="https://www.codingblocks.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/Episode117.jpg" class="webfeedsFeaturedVisual wp-post-image" alt="" style="display: block; margin-bottom: 5px; clear:both;max-width: 100%;" link_thumbnail="" decoding="async" loading="lazy" /><img width="150" height="99" src="https://www.codingblocks.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/Episode117.jpg" class="attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="" style="float:left; margin:0 15px 15px 0;" decoding="async" loading="lazy" />We take an introspective look into what's wrong with Michael's life, Allen keeps taking us down random tangents, and Joe misses the chance for the perfect joke as we wrap up our deep dive into Hasura's 3factor app architecture pattern.

<img width="150" height="99" src="https://www.codingblocks.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/Episode116.jpg" class="webfeedsFeaturedVisual wp-post-image" alt="" style="display: block; margin-bottom: 5px; clear:both;max-width: 100%;" link_thumbnail="" decoding="async" loading="lazy" /><img width="150" height="99" src="https://www.codingblocks.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/Episode116.jpg" class="attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="" style="float:left; margin:0 15px 15px 0;" decoding="async" loading="lazy" />We discuss the second factor of Hasura's 3factor app, Reliable Eventing, as Allen says he still _surfs_ the Internet (but really, does he?), it's never too late for pizza according to Joe, and Michael wants to un-hear things.

<img width="150" height="99" src="https://www.codingblocks.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/Episode115.jpg" class="webfeedsFeaturedVisual wp-post-image" alt="" style="display: block; margin-bottom: 5px; clear:both;max-width: 100%;" link_thumbnail="" decoding="async" loading="lazy" /><img width="150" height="99" src="https://www.codingblocks.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/Episode115.jpg" class="attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="" style="float:left; margin:0 15px 15px 0;" decoding="async" loading="lazy" />We begin to twitch as we review the first factor of Hasura's 3factor app, Realtime GraphQL, while Allen gets distrac ... SQUIRREL!, Michael might own some bell bottoms, and Joe is stuck with cobalt.

<img width="150" height="99" src="https://www.codingblocks.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/Episode114.jpg" class="webfeedsFeaturedVisual wp-post-image" alt="" style="display: block; margin-bottom: 5px; clear:both;max-width: 100%;" link_thumbnail="" decoding="async" loading="lazy" /><img width="150" height="99" src="https://www.codingblocks.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/Episode114.jpg" class="attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="" style="float:left; margin:0 15px 15px 0;" decoding="async" loading="lazy" />We learn how to apply the concepts of The Pragmatic Programmer to teams while Michael uses his advertisement voice, Joe has a list, and Allen doesn't want anyone up in his Wheaties.

<img width="150" height="99" src="https://www.codingblocks.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/Episode113.jpg" class="webfeedsFeaturedVisual wp-post-image" alt="" style="display: block; margin-bottom: 5px; clear:both;max-width: 100%;" link_thumbnail="" decoding="async" loading="lazy" /><img width="150" height="99" src="https://www.codingblocks.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/Episode113.jpg" class="attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="" style="float:left; margin:0 15px 15px 0;" decoding="async" loading="lazy" />After 112 episodes, Michael can't introduce the show, Allen pronounces it "ma-meee", and don't make Joe run your janky tests as The Pragmatic Programmer teaches us how we should use exceptions and program deliberately.

<img width="150" height="99" src="https://www.codingblocks.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/Episode112.jpg" class="webfeedsFeaturedVisual wp-post-image" alt="" style="display: block; margin-bottom: 5px; clear:both;max-width: 100%;" link_thumbnail="" decoding="async" loading="lazy" /><img width="150" height="99" src="https://www.codingblocks.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/Episode112.jpg" class="attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="" style="float:left; margin:0 15px 15px 0;" decoding="async" loading="lazy" />We continue our dive into The Pragmatic Programmer and debate when is it text manipulation vs code generation as Joe can't read his bill, Michael makes a painful recommendation, and Allen's gaming lives up to Southern expectations.

<img width="150" height="99" src="https://www.codingblocks.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Episode111.jpg" class="webfeedsFeaturedVisual wp-post-image" alt="" style="display: block; margin-bottom: 5px; clear:both;max-width: 100%;" link_thumbnail="" decoding="async" loading="lazy" /><img width="150" height="99" src="https://www.codingblocks.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Episode111.jpg" class="attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="" style="float:left; margin:0 15px 15px 0;" decoding="async" loading="lazy" />It's about time we finally learn how to debug by taking take a page from The Pragmatic Programmer playbook, while Michael replaces a developer's cheat sheet, Joe judges the H-O-R-S-E competition for VI, and Allen stabs you in the front.

<img width="150" height="99" src="https://www.codingblocks.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Episode110.jpg" class="webfeedsFeaturedVisual wp-post-image" alt="" style="display: block; margin-bottom: 5px; clear:both;max-width: 100%;" link_thumbnail="" decoding="async" loading="lazy" /><img width="150" height="99" src="https://www.codingblocks.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Episode110.jpg" class="attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="" style="float:left; margin:0 15px 15px 0;" decoding="async" loading="lazy" />We dig into the details of the basic tools while continuing our journey into The Pragmatic Programmer while Joe programs by coincidence, Michael can't pronounce numbers, and Allen makes a point.
