Thank you to everyone who has been listening to us work out our own issues with the technologies that help shovel money into our bank accounts.</p> <p>In this episode Ed talked about his experiences at CodeConnex, Chris tried to goad Ed into further ranting and arguments about the latest round of push-backs against the microframework manifesto and people crying about other people crying about dependencies in their code.</p> <p>The show then ended with Ed speaking about the very real challenge of creating awesome infinite scrolling experiences, which made Chris realize he is better off learning Javascript just to use Node and avoid the mess that is the DOM.</p> <p>As always, thank you to our awesome sponsors at <a href="http://engineyard.com">Engine Yard</a> and <a href="http://wondernetworks.com">Wonder Network</a> for providing cashmoney and bandwidth for our live stream, respectively.</p> <h3>Listen</h3> <iframe frameborder='0' height='200px' scrolling='no' seamless src='https://embed.simplecast.com/35283?color=f5f5f5' width='100%'></iframe> <p><a href="http://audio.simplecast.com/35283.mp3" rel="enclosure">Download now (MP3, 34MB, 1:15:58)</a></p> <h2>Links and Notes</h2> <ul> <li><a href="http://api.whereisitup.com">Where Is It Up API</a></li> <li><a href="http://codeconnex.org">CodeConnex</a></li> <li><a href="http://phpmentoring.org">PHP Mentoring</a></li> <li><a href="http://auraphp.github.com">Aura Framework</a></li> <li>Pretty much anything Paul Motherfucking Jones <a href="http://paul-m-jones.com">has written about programming</a></li> <li>Air BnB’s <a href="http://airbnb.github.com/infinity/">infinite scrolling library</a></li> <li>Palm’s <a href="https://developer.palm.com/content/api/reference/mojo/widgets/list.html">Mojo widget library</a></li> <li>HP’s <a href="https://github.com/enyojs/enyo/wiki/Lists">Enyo list widgets</a></li> <li><a href="https://github.com/mleibman/SlickGrid">SlickGrid</a></li> <li><a href="http://addepar.github.com/ember-table">Ember Table</a></li> </ul>

Jim is the author of Clean Ruby, the upcoming book that applies “Data, Context and Interaction” (DCI) concepts to Ruby and Rails development. Jim is clearly much smarter than us, so we took this opportunity to attack him mercilessly as a representative of the sexist Ruby community. Jim also shares his experiences as a self-published author. In addition, we talk about how True North PHP planning is going for Chris, and Ed’s experiences at Brooklyn Beta.</p> <p>If you’re a true believer, you’ll do these things:</p> <ul> <li>Check out our sponsors <a href="https://wondernetwork.com/">WonderNetwork</a></li> <li>Follow us on Twitter <a href="https://twitter.com/dev_hell">here</a>.</li> <li>Rate us on iTunes <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/dev-hell/id489840699">here</a></li> </ul> <h3>Listen</h3> <iframe frameborder='0' height='200px' scrolling='no' seamless src='https://embed.simplecast.com/35279?color=f5f5f5' width='100%'></iframe> <p><a href="http://audio.simplecast.com/35279.mp3" rel="enclosure">Download now (MP3, 33.1MB, 1:14:41)</a></p> <h3>Links and Notes</h3> <ul> <li><a href="http://twitter.com/saturnflyer">Jim Gay</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.clean-ruby.com/">Clean Ruby</a></li> <li><a href="http://brooklynbeta.org">Brooklyn Beta</a></li> <li><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cory_Booker">Cory Booker</a></li> <li><a href="http://truenorthphp.ca">True North PHP</a></li> <li><a href="http://twitter.com/pinboard">Maciej “Pinboard guy” Ceglowski</a></li> <li><a href="http://twitter.com/pieratt">Ben Pieratt</a></li> <li><a href="http://codeconnexx.com">Codeconnexx</a></li> <li><a href="http://unicornfree.com/30x500">30x500</a></li> <li><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data,_Context,_and_Interaction">DCI on Wikipedia</a></li> <li><a href="http://fulloo.info/">DCI web site</a></li> <li><a href="http://geekfeminism.wikia.com/wiki/CouchDB_talk">GeekFeminism Wiki article on CouchDB talk at the 2009 Golden Gate Ruby Conference</a></li> <li><a href="http://confreaks.com/videos/1089-madisonruby2012-anti-opression-101">Anti-Oppression 101</a></li> </ul>

She talks to us about Codeconnexx, an open source tech and life skills conference in Indianapolis Nov 8-9. We also talked a lot about getting women to submit talks to conferences, including the success that Jan Lehnardt has had in this area with JSConfEU.

Our 20th show goes out to all the haters. IN YOUR FACE HATERS.</p> <p>This week we talk about how Chris sucks at cooking food, which segues nicely into a discussion of the True North PHP conference that he’s co-organizing in Toronto in November. Thankfully he will not be catering the event himself.

Joining us is Chris Shiflett, PHP fellow and security expert. They talk about how we interact with non-techie members of dev teams, what they’re doing with Node, the state of the Canadian soccer program, heavy vs lightweight frameworks, tribalism in programming communities, and the importance of balancing work with life. We also talk to Chris Shiflett about his role as co-founder of Brooklyn Beta, and what they’re trying to accomplish with the conference.</p> <p>If you’re more animal than man, you’ll do these things:</p> <ul> <li>Check out our sponsors, <a href="http://www.engineyard.com/">Engine Yard</a> and <a href="https://wondernetwork.com/">WonderNetwork</a></li> <li>Follow us on Twitter <a href="https://twitter.com/dev_hell">here</a>.</li> <li>Rate us on iTunes <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/dev-hell/id489840699">here</a></li> </ul> <h3>Listen</h3> <iframe frameborder='0' height='200px' scrolling='no' seamless src='https://embed.simplecast.com/35276?color=f5f5f5' width='100%'></iframe> <p><a href="http://audio.simplecast.com/35276.mp3" rel="enclosure">Download now (MP3, 42.1MB, 1:37:04)</a></p> <h3>Links and Notes</h3> <blockquote><p>“A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly.

Chris discusses his experiences taking a young up-and-comer under his wing, and we talk about the PHP Mentoring project. Then we babble about Aspen, an interesting, non-traditional Python web framework. Good and bad stuff in PHP gets knocked around again.

We kick off with alittle followup on the <a href="http://devhell.info/post/2012-06-18/whack-job-central/">previous episode on mental illness</a>, but decide to quit bumming everybody out by moving on to cool tech stuff. Ed talks a little about Reaper, a new digital audio workstation he’s using to do production on the podcast. Then we chat about remote pair programming with browser-based editors like Cloud9. Finally we cover Chris' experiences at Lonestar PHP, and what each of us gets out of speaking at conferences.</p> <p>If you care about us, you’ll do these things:</p> <ul> <li>Check out our sponsors, <a href="http://www.engineyard.com/">Engine Yard</a> and <a href="https://wondernetwork.com/">WonderNetwork</a></li> <li>Follow us on Twitter <a href="https://twitter.com/dev_hell">here</a>.</li> <li>Rate us on iTunes <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/dev-hell/id489840699">here</a></li> </ul> <h3>Listen</h3> <iframe frameborder='0' height='200px' scrolling='no' seamless src='https://embed.simplecast.com/35273?color=f5f5f5' width='100%'></iframe> <p><a href="http://audio.simplecast.com/35273.mp3" rel="enclosure">Download now (MP3, 26.6MB, 58:17)</a></p> <h3>Links</h3> <ul> <li><a href="http://www.reaper.fm/">Reaper</a></li> <li><a href="http://c9.io/">Cloud9</a></li> <li><a href="https://github.com/enyojs/ares-project">Ares</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.codingmonkeys.de/subethaedit/">SubEthaEdit</a></li> <li><a href="http://lonestarphp.com/">Lonestar PHP</a></li> </ul>

This is something they will surely regret after listening to this episode.</p> <p>We started off with the idea of talking about technologies we wish we had time to play with. Ed was talking about his attempts at exploring Clojure, and how it’s likely he’ll be using Python for work in the near future. This leads into a discussion of what attracts us to certain languages and technologies, and when to try to work a personal interest in to your day job. Then Chris talks about how he will likely mess around with evented stuff like Node.js or Twisted for his next book about HTTP APIs or whatever.</p> <p>We also go off on a discussion about HTPC stuff. I can’t really remember how we got there.</p> <p>In reality we mostly bullshitted through the whole thing, and made fun of Engine Yard a bunch.

Chris admires his stamina for staying with the same employer for 14 years and counting.</p> <p>In this episode we talk about dealnews, how they use PHP (and how they also use it in some interesting ways), and his thoughts on issues like concurrency and evented systems. We also cover features of PHP that allowed for some major changes and approaches they used in the code base for the site.</p> <p>Feel free to hit us up on <a href="https://twitter.com/dev_hell">Twitter</a> or harras <a href="https://twitter.com/funkatron">Ed</a> and <a href="https://twitter.com/grmpyprogrammer">Chris</a> directly.</p> <iframe frameborder='0' height='200px' scrolling='no' seamless src='https://embed.simplecast.com/35262?color=f5f5f5' width='100%'></iframe> <p><a href="http://audio.simplecast.com/35262.mp3" rel="enclosure">Download now (MP3, 41MB, 1:14:37)</a></p> <h3>Links</h3> <ul> <li><a href="https://nodejs.org">Node.js</a></li> <li><a href="http://toys.lerdorf.com/archives/57-ZeroMQ-+-libevent-in-PHP.html">Evented programming in PHP</a></li> <li><a href="http://gearman.org/">Gearman</a></li> <li><a href="https://github.com/brianlmoon/net_gearman">Brian’s customized native Gearman library</a></li> <li><a href="https://github.com/brianlmoon/GearmanManager">Brian’s Gearman Manager</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.squid-cache.org/">Squid</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.varnish-cache.org/">Varnish</a></li> <li><a href="http://devzone.zend.com/303/extension-writing-part-i-introduction-to-php-and-zend/">Building PHP extension</a></li> </ul>

<p><em><strong>Update:</strong> Our first posting of this episode had a glitch in it around 14:50. It should be fixed now. If you already have the episode, you should <a href="http://audio.simplecast.com/35261.mp3">re-download it</a>.</em></p> <p>Our fourth episode is all ready for your listening pleasure. In this exciting episode we focus on “The Conference Experience” and discuss why programming conferences are so important to developers. Chris talks about why <a href="http://codemash.org">CodeMash</a> was so awesome and the awesome talks full of awesomeness that he attended. Ed talks about his own experiences with speaking and attending conferences, complete with a total derail by Chris on why a certain conference rubbed him the wrong way.</p> <p>Oh yeah, you also find out our opinions on what constitutes a “well-written PHP application”. I’m sure you will be surprised by our answers.</p> <p>As always, we welcome your feedback.

<p>Fresh off our holiday break, we’re back with our longest show yet. We talk about Chris' new book <a href="http://leanpub.com/grumpy-testing"><em>The Grumpy Programmer’s Guide To Building Testable PHP Applications</em></a>, including his experiences self-publishing with <a href="http://leanpub.com/grumpy-testing">Leanpub</a>. Chris also explains how he fears no precipitation on his excursions to the Codemash conference in Ohio. Then Ed talks about the thought process that lead to his latest shit-stirring blog post “<a href="http://funkatron.com/posts/the-microphp-manifesto.html">The MicroPHP Manifesto</a>.” Ed may or may not begin crying openly. Finally, we discuss when it might be necessary to trash your existing application and rewrite it.</p> <iframe frameborder='0' height='200px' scrolling='no' seamless src='https://embed.simplecast.com/35260?color=f5f5f5' width='100%'></iframe> <p><a href="http://audio.simplecast.com/35260.mp3" rel="enclosure">Download now (MP3, 60MB, 1:40:33)</a></p> <h3>Links</h3> <ul> <li><a href="http://leanpub.com/grumpy-testing">The Grumpy Programmer’s Guide To Building Testable PHP Applications</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.wjgilmore.com/books/read/refactoring_legacy_applications_using_cakephp">Refactoring Legacy Applications Using CakePHP</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.codemash.org/">The Codemash Conference</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.dells.com/">Wisconsin Dells</a></li> <li><a href="http://funkatron.com/posts/the-microphp-manifesto.html">The MicroPHP Manifesto</a> – <a href="http://microphp.org/">web site</a></li> <li><a href="http://slimframework.com">Slim</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.moontoast.com/">Moontoast</a></li> <li><a href="http://fictivekin.com/">FictiveKin</a></li> </ul>

<p>Doing something the second time is always the toughest, but we somehow managed to get our act together for a second episode of “Development Hell”.</p> <p>Our hosts <a href="http://twitter.com/chartjes">Chris</a> and <a href="http://twitter.com/funkatron">Ed</a> got together and discussed whatever was on their minds that night. Thanks to Ed for doing a masterful job of editing the results of using my crappy headset for the conversation.</p> <p>Summary of the show:</p> <ul> <li>Git and git workflows</li> <li>Node.js vs. Twisted/Tornado</li> <li>How being opinionated and objective about a topic is impossible</li> <li>Building your online brand</li> </ul> <iframe frameborder='0' height='200px' scrolling='no' seamless src='https://embed.simplecast.com/35259?color=f5f5f5' width='100%'></iframe> <p><a href="http://audio.simplecast.com/35259.mp3" rel="enclosure">Download now (MP3, 40MB, 1:12:50)</a></p> <h3>Links</h3> <ul> <li>The <a href="http://nvie.com/posts/a-successful-git-branching-model/">Git branching workflow</a> that Chris uses at work</li> <li>Before the rise of Github you could <a href="http://gitorious.com/local_install">host your own Git repos</a></li> <li>Some <a href="http://journal.paul.querna.org/articles/2011/12/18/the-switch-python-to-node-js/">thoughts</a> on Node.js vs. Twister/Tornado</li> </ul>
