Eric Simons - StackBlitz

devtools.fm: Developer Tools, Open Source, Software Development

This week we're joined by Eric Simons, CEO of StackBlitz. StackBlitz is an online IDE for web applications, powered by a new web standard called WebContainers. Web container allow you to run code much closer to the OS, and StackBlitz uses this to run NodeJS and NPM in the browser. We also talk about Eric's time living in AOL's headquarters, and how that led eventually to the creation of StackBlitz.
