Here we go.

Hello, Adam and Jared.

It's Brett Cannon calling for that annual tradition to see whether I can read dates appropriately while I tell you about my favorite episodes that I got to listen to this year.

So I'm going to start off with The Power of the Button, which you actually recorded in 2024 but didn't publish until 2025, so I'm safe.

I found that episode kind of fun just to have that twist on it of talking about the physicality of the world and just how that kind of ties into technology and just kind of the different approach of just seeing how things tie in both sides of both the physical and the software for all of us.

The next episode I liked a lot was the 1,000 Times Faster Financial Database with Joran from Tiger Beetle.

I just thought that was a really cool chat to show that sometimes, you know what, you don't have to take the journal solution.

Sometimes it's okay to actually build something from scratch if it leads to a simple solution that really gets you what you're after.

I also really enjoyed the chat with Bert Huber, build software that lasts.

Just a lot of good advice that I think a lot of us could stand to listen to consistently.

And then finally, the WSL.exe dash dash cat hello dot CS episode, I liked a lot for two reasons.

One, Adam's total infatuation with WSL was rather infectious and great to hear.

And also, I wanted to give a letter of recommendation for Mads.

He is an awesome person.

And with that, to give Breakmaster Cylinder something to work with, Andrea did not listen to any of these episodes, so she loves them all equally, as does our kiddo.

Thanks.
