Customer Reviews
Simply awesome
Full disclosure: I was a guest in episode 11, but the podcast is awesome. Package managers are kind of a black art -- everyone uses them but there isn't nearly enough material that goes into detail about how they work. This podcast fills that gap. If you're vaguely interested in the state of package management and the problems implementors face, this is the podcast for you. Also, Andrew and Alex do a great job of editing -- it's not just great material, it sounds great too.
