Late-night conversations with the people who keep the internet running while you sleep: the founders, the maintainers, the on-call engineers, and the friends-of-friends with one truly weird production story.
Nick Laporte is the founder, host, and chaos coordinator of Developers:After Dark. When he's not convincing developers to open up about their fears on a podcast, he's building things out of PVC pipe and buying domain names no one asked for. He considers the show "more than 1s and 0s," which is either very profound or a cry for help. Probably both.
Dennis Edson co-hosts, edits, and somehow keeps Developers:After Dark from sounding like a conference call gone wrong. Armed with a license to create awesome things, Dennis is the quiet backbone of the operation, the kind of person who writes "very clear notes" in the comments of a budget doc while everyone else is panicking. He is the show's signal-to-noise ratio.
A.J. LaPorte is the producer and co-host of Developers:After Dark, which means he's the one making sure things actually happen while Nick talks and Dennis edits. Part of the legendary LaPorte duo on the show, A.J. brings the structure to the storytelling, the kind of behind-the-scenes energy that makes everyone else look organized. He has not yet bought a domain name for this.
We're not interested in the polished version. We want the part you usually leave out: the bug that took two months, the bet that didn't pay off, the late-night decision that turned into a company.
We'll read your pitch this week and write back from a real inbox, not a bot. Save us a seat at the late-night table.
