I spend more time than I’d like to on the New York City subway. It’s mostly boring, punctuated by occasional dramatic failures, where getting to your destination seems almost impossible. In any case, I find that my time on the subway needs to be put to use with some productive activity, or I would totally waste it, probably by staring into space.

Like many others, I find solace in podcasts. The ones that I always keep returning to are programming podcasts: Talk Python to Me and Programming Throwdown, among others. They’re both amazing. Having these to listen to on my commute keeps me occupied and keeps my technical faculties active, even during weeks when I’m not writing any code. It’s nice to learn productive stuff during an otherwise wasted part of my day.
