Transitions in life comes in many forms, work, relationships, gadgets. How we deal with the process of transition is key & why we shouldn't be anxious about a transition, even if it’s a difficult one. Plus a bit about GitHub’s ongoing DDoS, switching from PHP to Ruby & a new contender for the perfect Linux dev rig.

It’s a special open mic edition of Coder Radio. We discuss the complex reasons behind Microsoft’s choice to open source MSBuild, the quest for the perfect Linux laptop continues & why, oh why, oh why HTML5 has a place. Plus emails & more!

The guys picture working a 9-5 job. If the security of a 9-5 paycheck is a myth, is it really just not having to worry about all the little things that's so appealing? Plus how merit based hiring could get out of control & making documentation a bit less evil.

Join us as we hop in our time machine and revisit some past topics on the coder radio program.

Can’t we all just settle down & focus? Mike’s just about had it with javascript framework madness. Plus could Microsoft be uniquely positioned to take advantage of the eventual die off of some frameworks?
