  • Kodsnack 703 - The subset needs to fit you, with Harald Achitz

    Kodsnack 703 - The subset needs to fit you, with Harald Achitz
    2026/05/19
    Fredrik chats to Harald Achitz about freelancing, C++ 26, and ten years of running the Swedencpp meetup. Harald discusses the various oddities of the Swedish consultant and software market, both before but especially in the current environment. Consultants don’t cost what you expect them to when compared to employees, and a strange previous focus on headcount has not helped either. We then talk about the standardization process for C++ and about new things in C++ 26. Harald discusses the issues of adding new things which are good in themselves, but perhaps don’t fit into a bigger picture, take a lot of focus and energy which in turn means many other things do not get considered which may be smaller and more widely and immediately useful. Also: once something is in the standard library, it’s eternal. And there is still no real ecosystem around C++. Infrastructure is a hard thing. And Rust is out there. Finally, we talk about Harald’s experience of running the Swedencpp meetup for ten years. What does it mean to run something for so long? Technology, talks, locations, providing a space for presentations, and trying to keep things evolving are all discussed. Thank you Cloudnet for sponsoring our VPS! Comments, questions or tips?

    2026/04/21
    Fredrik chats to Shawn Wildermuth about evolving in the world of software development, small changes adding up, developer hiring, not chasing the new thing, and quite a bit more. Fredrik is still hoping for the last episode of Shawn’s old podcast. Making sure you use your time in a way that’s right for you.

  • Kodsnack 694 - Dark patterns … to rule them all, with Sergès Goma

    Kodsnack 694 - Dark patterns … to rule them all, with Sergès Goma
    2026/03/17

    Fredrik chats to Sergès Goma about dark patterns and her Øredev presentation on them.

    We start off by talking about giving presentations and the background to the dark patterns talk. All the great versions of a talk - you never know what’s going to happen. Dark patterns and ethics in software development are topics people like to share their experiences of. And it’s easy to get caught in the pull between protecting your user and finishing your tickets. We as developers do have a lot of power, but we also have a job to do.

    Making (good) ethical decisions business decisions instead can suddenly get them budget and priority. Laws are good at creating such pressures sometimes.

    Toward the end, we discuss falling behind in tech, and Sergès gets Fredrik to make some predictions about the AI bubble before wrapping up on a positive note.

    Recorded during Øredev 2025.

    Kodsnack 681 - German ortography, with Dylan Beattie
    2025/12/16
    Fredrik chats to Dylan Beattie about Rockstar, esoteric programming languages (Perl in latin, anyone?), and what might happen after the AI bubble. AI will ruin jokes, they can’t do things just right. But some things hiding under the label are actually useful as well. Have we been in any similarly strange bubbles before, and what might be left that’s useful after it? Also evolution, revolution, and strange Scrabble facts. Recorded during Øredev 2025.

    Kodsnack 679 - Educational electronics, with David J. Cuartielles Ruiz
    2025/12/04

    Recorded on-stage at Øredev 2025, Fredrik talks to David J. Cuartielles Ruiz about the birth and growth of Arduino. It’s fantastic when an idea comes alive and starts growing. We talk about how Arduino began, how it started to grow, how you find parts and get things manufactured in northern Italy, and of course a bit about the magical logistics king.

    Many thanks to Øredev for inviting Kodsnack again, they paid for the trip and the editing time of these keynote recordings, but have no say about the content of these or any other episodes.

    2025/12/04

    Recorded on-stage at Øredev 2025, Fredrik talks to Natalia Chepiga about quantum computing and where you, personally, might see it first. We need classical computers to make quantum computers better. Natalia also tells us of the very natural way she got into quantum research, and encourages us to help make the future we want!
