A podcast about learning full-stack development, getting healthier, and building a better life — one honest, slightly-caffeinated conversation at a time.

Better habits, more movement, less burnout — beer optional, honesty mandatory.

Learning to code at 38, with a toddler. Not easy. Doing it anyway.
