Episode 28 of our technology podcast @RuntimeArguments (http://RuntimeArguments.fm). This one's called "Don't Let the Language Be the Problem, Let the Problem Be the Problem".

Wolf @YesJustWolf makes the case for boring language choices and drags resume-driven development into the open while Jim @jammcq brings the infrastructure angle on Go's DevOps takeover, COBOL's $3 trillion secret life, and whether "boring" is engineering wisdom or just inertia dressed up nicely.

As always, we want to know what you think:

To fellow #linguist s: this is about a new research project on #languageChoice s in conversation with #nonnativeSpeaker s. Why do Finns automatically switch to English at the slightest sign of (assumed) non-nativeness? How to promote a more #tolerant and #inclusive communication culture? How to fight the myths of Finnish as an impossibly difficult language?
