Linux Dev Time

Author: The Late Night Linux Family Language: English Episodes: 100
Tune in to Linux Dev Time, a conversation from the team behind Late Night Linux that gets into the practical realities of building software in this ecosystem. Instead of high-level theory, you’ll hear professional developers Amolith and Kevin alongside host Joe, diving into the tools, challenges, and workflows they use every day. Episodes often feature guests who bring their own perspectives, making for a roundtable discussion that covers everything from kernel nuances and containerization to debugging headaches and the merits of different programming languages. This podcast is built on the premise that development for Linux is a distinct craft, and the dialogue reflects that-it’s technical, often opinionated, and grounded in real-world experience. Whether you’re a seasoned systems programmer or someone curious about the engineering behind the platform, these conversations offer a genuine look at the process. The Late Night Linux Family brings a familiar, collaborative tone to each session, making complex topics accessible without sacrificing depth. You’ll come away with practical insights, a few laughs, and perhaps a new tool or approach to try in your own work.
