A podcast about topics developers obsess over.

What is the one thing you would happily commit all your working (or waking, even) hours to? The topic you think about in the shower, study profusely, cannot shut up about? And, how does it relate to the person you are?

Fork Pull Merge Push is a podcast about topics developers obsess over. From solving unsolvable problems to making coding in the everyday easier, Esko Lahti talks to engineers around the world about the topics that have sent them down to their deepest, most mind-bending rabbit holes.

This biweekly show is the audible equivalent of a Proggit thread – expect animated discussion, unapologetically nerdy monologues and a healthy dose of self-deprecating humor.
