Episode description
Initially tonight’s episode was going to be called “The Patch Is All” (guess whose been enjoying the new season of Killjoys?) — with a discussion about pre code-review practises, however with Peter’s absence, the discussion centred mostly around the 2017 Java Language Summit which was taking place around the recording period.
