What are your favorite podcasts and what are they each about?
Which one suits you best?
- Spying with coding - Spying while coding - Spying the coding - Coding with spying - Coding while spying - Coding the spying

Why do you participate in this community? What keeps you here?
I participate because I am not currently employed and have nobody else in the dev space to interact with, and even though this place is pretty parasocial, I still like it.

It is very minimalist, yes
How much industry experience do you actually have and, with that in mind, do you regularly make opinionated comments authoritatively and beyond your expertise?
I am still in school, so I have no "industry experience" but have been programming text-based languages (so not Scratch) since 11.
