In recent episodes, we've alluded to a possible Very Special 70th Episode.

Everything came together for that episode, and we're happy to announce that we're gonna do a live show at WWDC. We're spending the last of our Patreon money to fly ourselves out there, and we've booked a small venue for the show.

Because WWDC is wall to wall with podcasts (Monday is ATP, Tuesday is The Talk Show, and Wednesday is the Relay festival), we're going to do our show late Tuesday evening after The Talk Show.

We have 40 spots available. It's free for anyone who's subscribed to our Patreon (at the $5+ level) as of June 1.

If you want to come, subscribe to our Patreon, leave a comment on this Patreon post, and we'll put you on the list. If it turns out you can't come, reply to your own comment on that post and we'll free up your spot.

This week, Chris and Soroush talk about something engineers are stereotypically bad at: negotiating.

In particular, we really recommend setting aside half an hour to read the first link in the show notes:

• Patrick McKenzie: Salary Negotiation: Make More Money, Be More Valued
• Stephanie Hurlburt: “Just a PSA, I know of many people (Exact #? Hm. Over a hundred?) who are programmers making high six figures a year. …”
