Dreamer or Finisher?

Sort of Resurrecting an Old Podcast
by
So I used to record tutorials and publish under ‘The nth Guides’. I felt that title would let me talk about whatever I wanted in programming. The short version is, I got lazy and we only had a few episodes. Well I’m bringing it back, sort of. I’ll be publishing episodes under the same feed,…
