The Code Kitchen

The kitchen is the place to talk about all things code.

About the show

Every Episode, Software Professionals Divan Visagie and Simon Hornby chat about the latest developments and issues in the software industry. From hot new technologies and best practices to interviews with businesses in the software world, we bring you the world of software untainted by the kind of sponsor revenue that causes people to forget that Digital Ocean existed and pretend it was Linode the whole time.
