About this episode

The episode features a festive blend of humor and technology discussions with familiar characters, including hosts Martin and Chris, and explores various topics related to the season.

As 'tis the season, we have a combined Xmas and New Year's episode for you. And what a blast this is! The usual suspects will make an appearance - all those characters which you have known for years and probably already taken a shine to. Yes, this does include the Grumpies (the Grumpy Old Coders) for the uninitiated, our beloved countess Vladessa and of course our two hosts Martin and Chris. This time (as it has been a tradition for the last two year by now) impersonated by two lovely large language models (LLMs). Which goes to show that - in contrast to popular belief - LLMs DO have humour and CAN make jokes. If so forced into this... For a laughter or two and a bit of fun, don't miss this episode. Plus bonus content: The real truth behind the Redis / Valkey split, how to pack a swimming pool, sauna and much more all into one motorcycle and what this has to do with FLOSS. Or not.
