Friday Afternoon Deploy: A Developer Podcast
Episodes and show notes available at friday.hirelofty.com. An unapologetic show about the culture and chaos of software engineering from the makers and breakers of digital products at Lofty Labs. We build software with Python and Django, Ruby and Rails, Golang, whatever frontend framework we're forced to use because it's popular this month, and anything else to get the job done right. Then on Friday afternoons we have a beer and talk about our regrets on this show.

Rolling that NAT 20
It's another imaginative episode of "Friday Afternoon Deploy". Join Alan, Evan, Joseph, Andrew, and Audrey (the newest inductee) as they authoritatively discuss comfy chairs, table-top gaming, probability, life as an introvert, and touch on few software development opinions like observability, telemetry, and SLAs.
