Software Engineering Daily

Software Engineering Daily has been around for almost two years. In this episode Pranay Mohan and Erika Hokanson join me for a reflection on where we have been and where we are going. Pranay was the producer of Software Engineering Daily for the first year, after which he left and went to work at Snapchat. Erika joined the show 9 months ago to work on operations, ad sales, and expansion plans.

The thesis of Software Engineering Daily has always been that serious, in-depth material about software provides value. Right now we are a podcast about software engineering. We are planning expansion into a larger media company with video, a mobile app, a desktop platform, more podcasts, and more journalism. Pranay, Erika, and I have crafted the vision for Software Engineering Daily.

We want serious, inspiring, technical content to be more widespread. We know that you do too. If you have any suggestions you would like to see from us, you can always email me: jeff@softwareengineeringdaily.com.

It’s already been 500 episodes and I am even more excited about Software Engineering Daily than I was when I began–looking forward to episode 1000.
