Lessons learned in a year:

  • Has anything happened "exactly as expected"?
  • Do users behave better/worse/weirder than expected?
  • Any technical lessons learned?
  • What would you have done differently if you'd started again?
  • What do you expect for the next year?

EDIT: As per Kyle's suggestion, I've recorded this and sent it in. We'll see whether it gets in the 'cast :)

  • +1 for "what would you do differently." I always wondered.

    You should definitely record this and send it in as a listener question.

    I seriously think they should have Jon Skeet on the show.

I would like for them to discuss the possibility of partnering up with http://thedailywtf.com/. You have to admit, between SO, Meta, SF, and SU...there is no shortage of content which could be used for an entire series of TDWTF articles.

    Oooh! And there could be a "Belongs on TDWTF" close option!

  • Shog9: I actually suggested the exact same thing to Pesto in IRC less than an hour ago.

    I would be so happy if I could close questions (or, more appropriately, answers) and have them automatically submitted to Alex to include on the front page of TDWTF.

    I'm a lazy waste of many things, TheTXI. Don't sell me short!

  • I have to sell you short because you don't fetch a good price on the open market.

    Be careful with links. That URL points to a spam site. Maybe you meant thedailywtf.com

Since it'll be close to the anniversary mark, I say try and get some of the top users together for a pow wow to discuss the dynamic of how they do SO. They're at the top for a reason, and have a lot of respect with the SO community, so hearing from them would be valuable.

    We don't respect them. We just keep up a respectful facade because we live in fear of being smited by the vengeful gods that they are.

They should start a timer and spend like 5 solid minutes on every show specifically not talking about a programming topic. These guys love and live programming so much, I bet that would be difficult for them to pull off and possibly funny to listen to.

Some ideas:

  • Films or DVDs or TV shows recently watched
  • Sporting events
  • personal stuff, family life
  • etc.

  • They've talked about playing video games on a podcast a while back, and I remember it was the funniest bit i had heard in a while.
