Is Swarm at EOL?
Feb 06, 2025•18 min•Ep. 177
Episode description
I've been a big fan of Swarm since it was launched over a decade ago and I've made multiple courses on it that still sell. But, we recently got some news out of Mirantis that might be bad news. So I talked about it last week on my live stream.
There's also a video version of this show on YouTube.
