@kosmikus I hope you’ll give it a try, I just got back from #pyconau2023, where all the talks were half an hour long. My colleagues and I all agreed that the biggest problem with the conference was the talk length, so many topics took 10-20 minutes to introduce, and were then cut short just as they got to the interesting bit. 45 minutes with 15 for questions is probably sufficient to satisfy the curiosity of more experienced developers like me, and I’ve always found that as a beginner, talks which push beyond my current understanding were the most useful and gave me ideas to remember and come back to later in my career. (I’ll never forget @kmett’s talk on discrimination, where most of the audience got lost by the depth of the topic, but those of us who paid attention got the amazing take away that most Haskell data types can be sorted in linear time 🤯). I know it takes more of yours and Edsko’s time to do, so it is a big ask, but I feel the community will benefit.
I’d also love a schedule that meant that I could just the live stream, but I know that’s definitely asking too much!
Regardless, I really love you work Andres, on the Unfoldr and the podcast (and everywhere else!), so a big thanks from me.
@Axman6 Thanks again, we're certainly going to discuss episode length internally.
As to schedule: we've had one episode earlier in our days which might mean you could perhaps have joined in Australia. But that episode had the lowest live attendance of them all, so it's unlikely to become a regular time slot right now. Personally, I'd love to rotate a bit. But we also have our personal constraints factoring into this, and having a somewhat regular slot makes many aspects easier.
