About
Software Engineering Daily
Software Engineering Daily was founded in 2015 by Jeff Meyerson with the mission to cover the world through the lens of software. Since that time, SED has grown into one of the most trusted and widely listened to technology podcasts in the world.
We believe the most important stories in technology require more than surface-level coverage. Our interviews go deep, exploring the architecture decisions, the tradeoffs, the failures, and the ideas shaping how software is built and how it is changing the world. We cover everything from distributed systems and AI infrastructure to the geopolitics of technology, the economics of open source, and the human stories behind the software industry.
Our guests have included engineers, researchers, founders, and executives from organizations including OpenAI, NVIDIA, Google, Amazon, and Netflix, as well as investors from a16z, Google Ventures, Redpoint, and CRV. We have featured multiple Turing Award winners, leading journalists from The New York Times, The Atlantic, and The Verge, and some of the most influential thinkers across the technology world.
We take editorial independence seriously and every episode is produced with the goal of genuinely informing our audience, which is why the people who build and shape the technology industry have made Software Engineering Daily a regular part of how they stay informed.
“When I started listening to Software Engineering Radio in college, I understood 5% of every episode, but I found the personalities compelling and my understanding of software improved gradually every time I listened. Oftentimes I would listen to an episode during my work commute, and learn more from that episode than I would at work.
At the gym or on your commute, you can listen to long-form interviews about software engineering.
After every episode, you should feel like you are 1% better at understanding how software works.
If you are a software engineer, and you are not listening to Software Engineering Daily, I want to know why.”
