(New intro music is “Amiable Boy” by Savium.  “Savium is a self-indulgent instrumental one-man band who persistently and consciously performs speechless music. Savium has no particular intention of making this project successful,  the music is merely presented freely for the liberated minds that crave more than just one listen.”)

Devcasting #5, Part 1 - Less is More (So Much More That We Had to Split This Into Two Parts)

This episode took longer than usual to edit and the holidays got in the way but it’s finally ready.  Mike and Derek had a good talk with Dan Martell about the notion of “Less is More” in software development.  The conversation was a long one so the show is split into two MP3 files.

Here are the links from the show:
