Shay Banon, the creator of Elasticsearch, joins us to discuss pulling off a reverse rug pull. Yes, Elasticsearch is open source, again!

This week we're going back in time to one of our top performing shows of all time where we talk with Matt Rickard about his blog post Reflections on 10,000 Hours of Programming. These reflections are about deliberately writing code for 10,000 hours. Most don't apply to beginners. He was clear to mention that these reflections are purely about coding, not career advice or soft skills. If you count the reflections we cover on the show and be the first to comment the amount of reflections on this thread in Zulip, we'll give you a coupon code to use for a 100% free t-shirt from the merch store. Good luck...

Jerod is joined by the co-hosts of core.py , Pablo Galindo & Łukasz Langa, a podcast about Python internals by people who work on Python internals.

Software development is a very labor intensive process. This is where the testing process comes in handy if you want to end up with a good product. Moreover, testing should be carried out in the early stages of development. You can find more useful information about the difficulties with test automation here https://zapple.tech/blog/types-of-automation-testing/challenges-in-automation-testing/
loving these short news episodes...keep up the great work Changelog team
