Documentation Not Included

Chris and Josey discuss all things that capture the attention of these two jaded hosts.

About the show

DNIStream produces podcasts headed by Chris and Josey who connected through development, gaming, the world wide web, and a mutual love of gabbing while running wildly off on tangents.

The current iteration of Documentation Not Included focuses on discussing all things that capture the attention of the two jaded hosts. Previous iterations focused on being a live knowledge reposity for software professionals and included Development Not Included (Live streamed development on Monday at 7PM GMT).
