Changing of the guards: one co-host departs, and a new one enters

The Stack Overflow Podcast

Paul is stepping away down as CEO of Postlight to focus more on understanding climate change and how we can address it. The science hurts his brain.

Cassidy Williams, currently at Netlify, has published articles on our blog and provides links in our newsletter.

This week's Lifeboat badge goes to Suren Raj for his answer to Java convert bytes[] to File.
