Yet another tech podcast you didn’t ask for, but might actually enjoy. Named after the fine-structure constant (137) in physics, which no one fully understands — just like us & the tech world. We're Anton and Dima. And here, we talk to people we’d like to talk to. Turns out, it's a mix of tech talks & good vibes about the industry, engineering, and AI. – Because let’s face it. No tech podcast is complete without a bit of AI. The podcast is brought to you by On The Spot Development, a software development company, which Anton founded. They build R&D teams for startups and tech companies.
