Job interviews and coding tests are daunting. But most of us have to go through them at least once in our lives. Like Mike Mroczka, my guest, who is a software engineer. To share his experiences and help others he wrote a book how to get on top of coding interviews: "Beyond Cracking the Coding Interview". I met with Mike to discuss how interviewing and testing coding skills have changed, what the common pitfalls are that candidates should look out for and what it is we can do to prepare ourse...

This year's RSE (research software engineering) workshop at the International Supercomputing Conference (ISC) in Hamburg, Germany, focused on one theme: continuous benchmarking for high performance computing. Organisers Rene Kaspart and Robert Speck tell us how it all went, while keynote speakers Michele Mesiti and Jayesh Badwaik give us concrete examples of how they go about continuous benchmarking - and why.

English Edition: Meet Phil Reed from the University of Manchester and SSI fellow. In my chat with Phil we touch on a number of themes, like how to boost digital skills for people outside the research software domain, like librarians. And look out for Phil's other endeavours (hint: towards the end of the episode).

English Edition: My guest Bill Kurth and I will go on a space exploration of a special kind: the Voyager probes. Launched in 1977 just a few weeks apart they have now reached interstellar space. Some of the data they send back to Earth are audio - which can tell us a lot about the outer planets like Jupiter or indeed interstellar space, where both Voyagers are now.

Meet Christian Gutschow, particle physicist and research software engineer at UCL (University College London, UK). Christian is one of the scientists working on the ATLAS experiment at CERN. And together we try to give you a glimpse of what is going on in this massive experiment that tries to unlock the secrets of matter. Software plays a crucial part in this - and at all levels.
