We talked about AI, Machine learning, music, sample RNN and where to get started and how you can help the cause. The drive that these fellows have is very inspiring.

#10 - Software, it's not always what you see with Joe Zack
Today we have a lot of 3rd party libraries and toolkits that would help us launch an entire website in a matter of minutes. That makes our software development life easier but it feels like it created a gap between front end and backend development. With the pace of new technologies it makes it harder to keep up with everything. Joe and me are trying to address that problem.

#9 - Design Patterns: Introduction
This week I am starting a new series called Design Patterns. It is one of those things that you probably used a lot of times but were never aware of it. There isn't a job interview that goes without asking questions about design patterns  and it's always the one you forgot to read about. This episode is more of an introduction to design patterns where we tried to answer the following questions: What are they? How are they classified? How are they describing the problems?
