This episode is host to the Grumpy Old Coders (GoCs) once again. This dynamic duo consisting of David Meier and Thomas Glaser has made appearances in the past, but this instalment is the one to rule them. You want move this to the very top of your podcatcher's playlist for some serious discussion about the world in general (especially Redis :-), free software in particular and some very dark, ie. really black, humour. Plus bonus content. For example, who's the active one between the two of them. And thoughts about the ultimate monetisation strategy.
