Are you a professional developer, or do you want to be? Worried that your computer science theory is not enough, or is outdated? We'll talk about which parts are useful, which aren't, and why/where. Every week you'll get an informed opinion from a professional developer about a specific part of computer science and when/where/whether it's useful. We cover algorithms, analysis, data structures and all sorts of theory, here on Comp Sci: Just the Useful Bits.

With Andrew Owen: the Culture of Programming -- If You're Raised by Missionaries (01:37:44)
I barely know how to summarise this one. It's one of my favourites. Andrew is from dot-NET rather than Ruby. He was raised by missionaries, and is thus extremely literate about cultures and how to int...
With Andrew Mason: I Expected College to be Basically Boot Camp (01:33:48)
Andrew is the founder of the Remote Ruby Podcast (now a lot more prominent than when we talked!), RubyBlend and CodeFund. We talk about the prison and court systems, why FTP is a terrible protocol, re...

With Ernesto Tagwerker: Learning Programming, Business and Management (00:57:28)
Ernesto and I talk about how he learned software development, but also some business and management in his competitive public university in Argentina. We talk group projects, learning well and trying ...
With John Pavan: Coming to Programming from Nuclear Physics (00:59:28)
I met John Pavan early in his career, after he'd just made the transition from nuclear physics to full-time computer programming. We caught up on how C++ is doing and how he's doing in it. We also tal...
With Chris Seaton: On Ph.Ds and Software Apprenticeships (01:01:39)
Chris Seaton, founder of TruffleRuby, talks with me about getting a computer science Ph.D, how learning compilers is necessarily like an old-style apprenticeship, and a near-the-metal view of complex ...
With Michael Dominick: Your Duck Was the Only Thing That Company Had Going For It! (01:07:10)
Michael Dominick, of the Mike Dominick Show, talks to me about patterns in software, the Pokemon API, what he looks for when hiring developers and how he's pretty sure the universe is POSIX compliant....
With George Sheppard: On Security, UML and What's More Important than Money (01:05:45)
George and I talk about how he learned to do what we do. He loved his classes on security, and I'm envious. He doesn't remember his classes on mathematics — I might envy that, too. We talk about...
With Jared White: the Trip from PHP to Ruby and Beyond (01:25:02)
Jared and I talk about his journey through all sorts of programming platforms, from the Commodore 128, through PHP to Ruby and onward. He talks about Object Oriented programming, Rails service objects...
With Chris Oliver: The Black Magic of Video Game Timing (02:07:08)

With Swizec Teller: The Value of Theory and Why Not to Build an Analytics Service (00:58:30)
Swizec and I talk about his theory-heavy education in Slovenia and how extremely useful it's been to him. We also talk about educational overengineering, automata theory, why NoSQL is usually a mistak...
With Alain Mauri: to be a Great Developer, Learn Sport Instead of Computer Science (00:50:26)
Alain and I talk about the old days; about jumping into a first job in PHP because Commodore 64 coding was probably close enough; about how, to be really great on a development team you can skip most ...
With Jake Yesbeck: On Getting Lucky, Mastery and the Fundamentals (00:54:57)
Jake and I talk about basically just getting lucky... And also about mastery and understanding the fundamentals of computer science. We talk about university and how it works well for some things (the...
With Mike Perham: Sidekiq and Whitepapers, and What Success is For (00:36:06)
