No startup theater, no corporate speak
thistbh brings together three voices from the open source community for weekly conversations about technology, infrastructure, and the culture surrounding both. We cut through the hype to talk about what's actually working, what's broken, and why it matters.
Expect technical deep dives, industry critiques, and the occasional rant about why everything is on fire. This isn't another generic tech podcast—it's real talk from people building and fixing the systems that power everything else.
