What is Effective Philosophy? Juan and I simplify hard to grasp concepts into pragmatic takeaways that can be applied to every day life (fitness, goal setting, work, parenting, travel, hobbies, finances, etc.,). 2 x episodes a week. We go live every Wednesday with our meanderings, plus an extra as a more casual conversation with a guest or between ourselves.

Programming Vs Human Languages | Are They Comparable?
Is learning coding the same thing as learning Spanish or German?
In Episode #386 of 'Musings', I discuss: my recent chat with Dave Jones, how I learnt Spanish/German but failed with Python, why I believe that the differences between the languages are greater than the similarities, human-human communication vs human-computer, some helpful tips to think about whilst learning them and why Chat GPT is diminishing the need to learn a programming language.
Huge support from McIntosh, Cole McCormick, Adam Curry, Petar & some anonymous boosters. Also a make good is needed as I missed Dave Jones & Chad F's boostagrams. Might be our most varied list ever, amazing!
