NotTheCode
NotTheCode is a narration-style podcast that explores the human side of software development—one story at a time.
Each episode is a deep, voice-narrated dive into a key idea from the blog, unpacking what really makes tech projects succeed: trust, communication, design thinking, leadership, and growth. Less syntax, more substance. It’s not about frameworks or languages—it’s about the people, the process, and the purpose behind great software.
Perfect for developers, PMs, designers, and tech leads who know that building great products starts with understanding the humans behind them.
