Self-Directed Research

The hosts: Amos Wenger & James Munns
Amos (they/them) is known online as @fasterthanlime. After years working as a software engineer at companies in music, indie gaming and web infrastructure, they've now made "being nerd-sniped" their full-time job, writing long-form technial blog posts and videos.

James (he/him) is an independent researcher and full-time consultant. He founded OneVariable, where he works on Rust, embedded systems, and convincing computers to talk to each other.

We’re doing this because we spend a lot of time figuring things out, and it’s frustrating to do that solo a lot of the time. Researching is fun, but not having anyone to talk to about it is demoralizing.

Sometimes you spend way too much time learning about something, and have to share it.
