There are constantly new technologies coming out on the market. While this might seem like a great thing, there are some darker sides to it that no one seems to talk about.

The second episode of the Developer’s Notebook Podcast will look at whether or not software as a service is a really good idea. I have already written about this topic on Developer’s Notebook, but in this podcast episode, I will strike a more conversational tone and go into a bit more depth than in the article.

Whether you like it or not, software as a service (SaaS) has become extremely popular amongst both individuals and companies. But how good of an idea is it?

In this post, I talk about which productivity tools I use for my work as a developer, my personal development projects and my personal life.
