Episode 5: Pull requests with Ben Lomax

Ben Lomax is a lead software engineer at Kraken Technologies, and is passionate about creating high-quality, meaningful software. The inspiration for today’s show comes from Ben’s talk at EuroPython 2024, titled ‘The Art of the Pull Request’. In this episode, we chat about PRs, code reviews, and crafting the ultimate review experience. Also joining us is Brandon Walts, a fellow software engineer at SciBite, who brings a wealth of software development experience to the conversation.

In this episode, I am bringing together some highlights of EuroPython 2025.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
