About the show

Compose is an interview podcast for software developers using the Rust programming language to build a better planet. As software’s impact on our society grows, we explore how to pull things apart and put them back together.

Each episode features interviews with open-source maintainers, startup founders, industry leaders, and critics, discussing themes like software engineering pressures, security, open-source technology, and the growth of Rust.

Hosted by Tim Clicks (Tim McNamara), a passionate Rust advocate, the show starts with tech discussions or recent events, followed by a deep dive into the guest’s background and influences.
