• Deep dives into programming language concepts (type systems, compilers, reactivity, signals)
• Explanations of design patterns and OOP principles (decorator pattern, dependency injection, four pillars of OOP)
• Short-form episodes, often under 20 minutes, aimed at interview prep and practical understanding
