Hi. I'm here to talk about Plain Text Programs, what they are, what they do, why they're good, and why they're not for everything. Right up front I'm requesting feedback on what I have to say. I'm on Mastodon and I'll start a thread for each podcast or you can reach me by email.

My Mastodon address is
@hairylarry@gamerplus.org

My profile is at

And my email is
hairylarry@deltaboogie.com

Also you can Network With Hairy Larry at

In the future I plan on doing podcasts on specific Plain Text Programs, some that I wrote and some that were written by others. Any program that I will discuss will be licensed with a free culture license.

The first thing I want to emphasize about Plain Text Programs is that there's no database like SQL or LLM. All text data is written in plain text files stored on a file system.
