Hype Check

Hype Check: Mostly real

Hey, welcome!

This is the very first episode of Chats with My Tech Friends. If you're here, you're probably curious about what's actually happening in tech — beyond the press releases and LinkedIn hot takes.

What is this podcast?

This is a podcast about real conversations with real tech people. Not interviews. Not panels. Just two people sitting down and talking about what's actually going on.

We'll talk about:

  • The stuff that matters — AI, infrastructure, product, design, security, open source
  • The stuff nobody talks about — career pivots, burnout, imposter syndrome, the weird parts of tech culture
  • The stuff that's fun — side projects, hot takes, what everyone's actually excited about

Who is this for?

Everyone. Seriously. Whether you're a senior engineer, a career switcher, a student, or someone who's just curious about tech — this is for you. We keep it approachable. No gatekeeping.

Dori's Take

I've been wanting to do this for a long time. The best conversations in tech happen off-stage — at the bar after the conference, on a random Tuesday night FaceTime, in a group chat that's way too active. This podcast is my way of letting you in on those conversations. Let's go.
