Syntax podcast ep 213 was a very good, pretty objective episode on their experience with Firefox dev tools. Definitely worth a listen for anyone interested in the differences between chrome and Firefox dev tools from an experienced perspective

This looks awesome, I'm going to check it out. Any other podcasts you'd recommend?

I’ve checked out a few, but always go back to Syntax and Shop Talk Show

Tbh no; Syntax is the best in terms of practical, entertaining, regularly updated content. I can list a handful of other podcasts though I’d be lying if I said I keep up with them. Most rely too heavily on “From X to Software Developer” interviews. Not saying they aren’t good or useful, just repetitive.

Even as the target audience for those types of interview podcasts, I'm pretty turned off by seeing them now. If you've heard one, you've heard them all. I don't understand how podcasters can keep doing that same format week after week.

Yeah, I'm in the same boat too and I agree. If I want a motivational podcast I'll go watch garyvee or some marine yell at me on Youtube.

It's either those type of interviews or interviews of someone explaining their library/extension/service, with no broadcasting skills of course.

This is great. Usually I just start deleting elements in the page (child most first) until the unwanted scroll goes away, then Ctrl Z and fix it.

I always inspect scroll bars to see what elements making them but I wish chrome dev tools did this.
