A Farewell To Our Fans

A Farewell To Our Fans

Author: BJ Burns and Will Gant July 20, 2023 Duration: 1:01:10

Podcasting has definitely been a journey for both of us. When we started BJ wasn't even a developer and Will was working for himself. Now 8 years later BJ is leading a team of developers and Will is back working for himself. It has been an amazing journey with you all this past years. We have both learned a lot about ourselves, programming, leadership, and audio engineering (well Beej learned about audio).

However, like all things, it can't last forever. Sometimes you just hit a point where you realize that you can go on, but your heart really isn't in it any more. That's kind of where we both are. We've enjoyed our time podcasting and it's been a very memorable eight years. The podcast has changed us both a lot, and that's the real reason we are stepping away from it. We've both gained many new skills, and more comfort with more difficult tasks. And now we both have goals of our own that don't really mesh well with the podcast.

BJ Burns and Will Gant host the Complete Developer Podcast, a conversation that goes far beyond just writing code. These two seasoned developers built this show from a simple idea: that a career in tech is about more than the latest framework or language syntax. It's about the entire ecosystem you navigate, from the logic on your screen to the dynamics of the business meetings and the long-term path of your career. Each episode feels like pulling up a chair in the break room with colleagues who get it, discussing the real, often unspoken, parts of the job. You'll hear them tackle the intersection of technology, business strategy, and professional growth, making sense of how these pieces fit together in a practical, everyday way. This podcast digs into the questions that don't always have a clear answer in a manual-how to communicate effectively with non-technical teams, ways to approach career advancement, or how to balance deep technical work with the broader goals of a company. It's a resource for anyone who writes code but lives in a much bigger world, offering perspective and discussion that aims to make the whole journey a bit more comprehensible and a lot more manageable. Tune in for thoughtful, grounded talks that treat development as the multifaceted profession it truly is.
