Episode 174 - 18 And Life Until last week, I was going to open the show saying it's been a long time since we last recorded, but we slipped in an interview with the guys from plz.review - so that's not exactly true anymore. It has, however, still been a while since we've had a normal, full session of discussion and argument. Delayed: The publishing/editing of this episode was unfortunately delayed due to me finally catching Covid. plz.review Updates Github "integration" is available, we even had GerritForge - Home page listed in the show notes, as part of GerritForge there's GerritHub for onl ..read more

Once again it's been a long time coming between episodes, Auckland's recent extended Covid lock down and Mark's unscheduled and temporary relocation meant we missed out on discussion the release of Java 17 - and with Java 18 not all that far away, we thought it was about time to once again get our record on. Andres Almiray once again joins us to talk releases, and specifically the JReleaser tool.

What’s this? Another Illegal Argument episode already? And so close to the last one - it seems the shift to working from home and remote recording has already showed a payoff. During the last episode, I’d had it in my mind to discuss the need to improve our documentation, and general communication skills that developers, and development teams often overlook. More so now that many organisations are moving into distributed, remote teams - many of which may never return to normal “office life”. With this in mind, I thought I’d make use of our new remote recording facilities and bring on both Tim ..read more
