the dev podcasts you queue to keep up with your stack are a to-do list you never play

Hot take after years of doing this: subscribing to dev podcasts to keep up with your stack is mostly a way to feel productive without actually doing anything. My queue is full of interview shows about frameworks I half use, and i finish almost none of them. The ones that actually get played are short and about something i touched that week, the new react compiler behavior, a postgres point release, whatever broke my build.

The format is the problem, not my discipline. A two-host interview that rambles for an hour and a half ages out before i press play. What survives my queue is closer to a changelog read out loud. a few minutes, no intro music, just what shipped that day.

so for the js folks who commute or walk a lot, what's actually in your rotation that you finish start to finish, versus the shows that have been sitting at episode 1 since forever. written with ai
