Coding After Work Podcast: Recent Episodes
Coding After Work
We met Tim Corey at Microsoft Build, surrounded by people throwing around acronyms like MCP and pretending we all knew what it meant. Turns out, we weren't alone.
In this episode, we talk about the gaps in learning that nobody tells you about, the power of teaching what you just figured out, and how showing your mistakes can be the best way to teach. Tim shares his journey from recording rough YouTube videos for his students to becoming one of the most trusted developer educators on the web.
We also dive into why acronyms can make people feel left out, what it's really like to balance paid and free content, and how he accidentally built a thriving community by simply trying to help others not hit the same walls he did.
And yes, we talk about imposter syndrome, AI acting like an overconfident junior dev, and why debugging on camera might be the most honest kind of teaching there is. Links: https://www.iamtimcorey.com/ https://www.youtube.com/IAmTimCorey
The first version of Visual Studio 2026 Insiders is here! We sat down with Mads Kristensen to explore what’s new:
- Monthly update cadence (faster features, fewer waits)
- Deeper Copilot integration, including the new Profiler Agent
- Major performance boosts across startup, large solutions, and RDP/DevBox
- A modern UI refresh with new themes and cleaner settings
- Near-seamless extension compatibility from 2022 to 2026
We also talk about bug reports as “gifts,” why developer happiness matters more than raw productivity, and Mads’ favorite hidden gems in the IDE.
This episode is packed with stories, insight, and more than a few unexpected turns – and our guest is no exception. We’re joined by the always-curious, always-creating John Galloway, who shares his remarkable journey from submarine officer to dev community builder at Microsoft.
Whether it’s live-streaming labs, shipping AI-powered productivity tools, or winning a car on The Price Is Right (yes, really), John brings heart, humor, and a whole lot of dev wisdom. We talk Blazor, .NET Aspire, the evolution of vibe coding, the reality of building meaningful content, and how AI is changing the way we build and communicate.
Plus, you'll hear about the VR boxing obsession, accessibility from a broader lens, and how subtle Superman shoulder moves might be the key to cinematic greatness. Buckle up for a vibrant episode full of laughs, insight, and genuine developer love.
