Check out what goes into our editing process: A Letter From The Editor Takeaways: Sam: You can use your ego and your attachment to the code, but make it not about yourself. Instead, try to focus on what your code is bringing to other people and maybe that can help you try to figure out how to make it better without getting stuck. Coraline: We got to see a glimpse into the whole person behind a persona. Even heroes are people with vulnerability, human flaws, anxieties, and weaknesses. Astrid: Bring your whole self to everything. Jessica: What we show matters. Jay: Don’t be too quick to compare yourself to others. David: Put your ideas out there and get them in front of other people. That is how you manufacture authority. Avdi: Hidden Figures Transcript: SAM:  Hello and welcome to Episode 2 of 'The Meta Four'. I'm Sam Livingston-Gray, and I am -- CORALINE:  No, no, no. Sam, we've talked about this. The name of the show is Greater Than Code. Everyone was very quick to correct me last week and now, I, Coraline Ada Ehmke, have to play the role of corrector to you. Is that how it's going to be today? SAM:  I guess, that is how it's going to be, and I guess, it's just as well that that's not the name because there are greater than four of us here. CORALINE:  That's true. I'm really excited about we have a brand new panelist today: Astrid Countee. ASTRID:  Hi. I'm super excited to be here, and we also have David Brady. DAVID:  Good morning and I'm excited to second to what Jessica said last week, which is that Jay Bobo from Columbus is better at me than everything. [Laughter] DAVID:  For example, introducing himself on the show. JAY:  Good afternoon. I'm here in lovely Central Ohio, eating the world's best chicken wrap right now, and I'm heading this off to Jessica Kerr. JESSICA:  Good morning. I am happy to be on Greater Than Code again and I am even happier because we have one of my favorite programmers in the whole world as a guest today. You might know him by his silky smooth voice, or possibly by his amazing trademark hair. But if you don't already know him, you should check RubyTapas where Chef Avdi Grimm serves up short videos twice a week that will teach you something new and interesting about programming. Avdi, what's interesting today? AVDI:  That's a high bar. You all are interesting. Let's just talk about you today. CORALINE:  Awww, group hug. AVDI:  Enough about you. Let's talk about us.
