Dev Podcasts Nov 25 - Dec 2

Exciting news (for me anyway), these podcasts were auto-tagged this week. That means less work for me, although the results are far from perfect.

I'm not proud of the code I wrote to get there, very much "protoduction" style.

To get the list of tags, I...

1. started with the tags from StackOverflow, 5000+
2. joined the synonyms (probably incorrectly) in an attempt to get rid of tags that were too specific, 2700+
3. Ran all 2700+ terms through qit and threw away any that had less than 3 results - 800+
4. Manually read through the list and removed ambiguous or uninteresting terms (like "product" or "text") and added them to a blacklist file - 259 tags
5. Added a few terms that were missing - 262 tags!

It's still more than I want, but there's room for a lot of polish and it's easy to add synonyms once I refactor this into a better spot.

The code is all up on github, though it's poorly factored at the moment. (remember, "protoduction")

Next week I'm hoping to focus on clean-up, iterating on the tags, and finally getting back to qit.

n-e-wayz, here's the list for this week:
