Living in the Tech Avalanche Generation

One thing I often remark is my preference for developers who exhibit habits that identify them as being ‘invested in their careers’. One such habit (in my humble opinion) is regular listening to pod casts however I should say that if a developer doesn’t listen to pod casts does not mean that they are not invested, perhaps they have other such ‘invested’ habits. Anyway, this post wasn’t meant to be a discussion of what are and aren’t the habits but rather a list of pod casts that I listen to and think are worth checking out if you weren’t aware of them previously.

THE LIST:

• Alt.Net Podcast
• .Net Rocks
• Deep Fried Bytes
• Hanselminutes
• Herding Code
• Polymorphic Podcast
• Rubiverse (seems to have gone quiet)
• SE Radio
• Spaghetti Code from Jeff Brand
• The Thirsty Developer
• Ask Udi (Dr Dobbs sponsored and by Udi Dahan)

There was a compiled list of pod casts knocking around recently that is more complete (I will post a link when I can find it) but these are the ones I listen too regularly.
