On June 25th 2025, in collaboration with Open Folk, we presented our first ever live interview event in Los Angeles. As Open Folk put it: "In These Lines is a live event where three artists each bring one song — not just to perform, but to explore. They sit down with Sofia Loporcaro, host of Before The Chorus, to talk about where the song came from, what it meant to write it, and what it still holds. Then they play it. Just the song, and the truth behind it."

Before a song is released, a record is produced, or a chorus is written, the musicians that write them think. A lot. They live. A lot. And they feel. A LOT. Hosted by award-winning interviewer Sofia Loporcaro, Before the Chorus explores the genuine human experiences behind the music. Sofia’s deep knowledge of music and personal journey with mental health help her connect with artists on a meaningful level. This is a space where fans connect with artists, and listeners from all walks of life feel seen through the stories that shape the music we love. About the host: Sofia Loporcaro is an award-winning interviewer and radio host who’s spent over 8 years helping musicians share their stories. She’s hosted shows for Amazing Radio, and Transmission Roundhouse. Now on Before the Chorus, she’s had the chance to host guests like Glass Animals, Feist, Madison Cunningham, Mick Jenkins, & Ru Paul's Drag Race winner Shea Couleé. Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode of Whiskey Web and Whatnot, Robbie and Chuck talk with Carson Gross about his journey in web development, including the creation of htmx and its predecessor, intercooler.js. They touch on the differences between front-end libraries, the importance of timing in tech adoption, and the relevance of older technologies. Carson also talks about his love for baseball, retro software, and the potential for a return to simpler and more varied tech tools and hardware. In this episode: (00:00) - Intro (01:39) - Meet Carson Gross (03:25) - Whiskey tasting: Bullet Rye 12 Year (11:45) - Hot takes (21:32) - htmx vs intercooler.js (24:04) - Meme culture (31:43) - Open source and community engagement (36:14) - Pick the tech stack you like (42:15) - Teaching cloud computing (48:01) - Carson’s non-tech career (58:43) - Retro tech Quotes “Intercooler vs htmx. They're the same thing. One of my takeaways from that is that timing is really, really important. Intercooler was too early. And we've seen that before in tech. If timing is what matters then the longer you can hang around, the more likely you are to catch that timing at some point.” ~ Carson Gross “As I've gotten older, I've stopped looking for the one true programming language and the one true way to do X or Y or Z. There's a lot of different ways to get stuff done. And I like that there are people doing them different ways and that they've got their different take on things.” ~ Carson Gross Links Montana State University: https://www.montana.edu Jameson: https://www.jamesonwhiskey.com Bulleit 12 Year Rye: https://www.bulleit.com/whiskey/bulleit-12-year-old-rye Stagg JR: https://www.buffalotracedistillery.com/brands/stagg-jr Maker’s Mark: https://www.makersmark.com Redbreast: https://www.redbreastwhiskey.com OCaml: https://ocaml.org HyperCard Programmer: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HyperCard Vercel: https://vercel.com Thinking in Java: https://www.amazon.com/Thinking-Java-4th-Bruce-Eckel/dp/0131872486 JetBrains: https://www.jetbrains.com TailwindCSS: https://tailwindcss.com IntercoolerJS / intercoolerjs.org: https://intercoolerjs.org Big Sky Dev Con: https://bigskydevcon.com Manning: https://www.manning.com Teej_dv: https://www.twitch.tv/teej_dv Fireship - htmx in 100 seconds: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r-GSGH2RxJs Hacker News: https://news.ycombinator.com sst.dev: https://sst.dev Dax Raad: https://x.com/thdxr Open Next on GitHub: https://github.com/serverless-stack/open-next floppydisks.com: https://floppydisks.com Zork Game: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zork hyperscript: https://hyperscript.org unpoly: https://unpoly.com Analogue: https://www.analogue.co Parov Stelar: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVtnG15ufdzur71RqfqNSOg Connect with Carson Website: https://hypermedia.systems Htmx: https://htmx.org X / Twitter: https://x.com/htmx_org Connect with our hosts Robbie Wagner: https://x.com/RobbieTheWagner Chuck Carpenter: https://x.com/CharlesWthe3rd Subscribe and stay in touch Website: https://whiskey.fm Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/whiskey-web-and-whatnot/id1552776603 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/19jiuHAqzeKnkleQUpZxDf Overcast: https://overcast.fm/itunes1552776603 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@WhiskeyWebAndWhatnot Whiskey Web and Whatnot Merch Enjoying the podcast and want us to make more?

So we can say oh okay, we're cutting out all the stuff you're not using. That's the dead code elimination.” ~ Chris Manson “We use generators in Ember. Very few other frameworks use generators. You generate a component in Ember and it instantly creates an integration test that renders that component and checks the contents of it and gives you ways to interact with it, to click it, to check the contents and encourages you to put more tests in that file.” ~ Chris Manson Links Bulleit Rye: https://www.bulleit.com/whiskeys/bulleit-rye-whiskey Ember: https://emberjs.com Embroider: https://github.com/embroider-build/embroider Vite: https://vitejs.dev EmberFest: https://emberfest.eu Connect with Chris X / Twitter: https://x.com/real_ate Connect with our hosts Robbie Wagner: https://x.com/RobbieTheWagner Chuck Carpenter: https://x.com/CharlesWthe3rd Subscribe and stay in touch Website: https://whiskey.fm Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/whiskey-web-and-whatnot/id1552776603 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/19jiuHAqzeKnkleQUpZxDf Overcast: https://overcast.fm/itunes1552776603 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@WhiskeyWebAndWhatnot Whiskey Web and Whatnot Merch Enjoying the podcast and want us to make more?

Some engineers have a linear path to their careers, but most of them take unconventional routes to become a developer. For Welch Canavan, Principal Engineer II at Stitch Fix, his journey into coding was a complete accident. Welch was thrown into coding after the entire senior team above him left the company. He had two choices, sink or swim. With very little coding experience, he decided to tackle the problem-solving on his own and pick up the pieces that the senior team left. That experience propelled him into his career today. According to Welch, once you are motivated enough to learn, you might not need to invest in a boot camp. He also touches on some important aspects of tech like the complexities of maintaining state in URLs and highlights the innovative solutions by T3 stack. In this episode, Welch talks to Robbie and Chuck about his journey into becoming a self-taught engineer, his responsibilities at Stitch Fix, and how he quit veganism after 20 years.

Nathan Sobo, Founder of Zed Industries, is a founding member of the team that built Atom at GitHub. With nine years of experience under his belt, Nathan made the bold decision to leave GitHub and start a new venture: building Zed, a code editor that captures his vast knowledge and ambitious goals. Nathan opens up about the frustrations he faced with web technology, specifically Electron, which was initially developed to construct Atom but ended up being a resource-hungry burden. Zed, on the other hand, aims to be a more streamlined and efficient code editor by harnessing the power of Rust. Of course, this path was not without its challenges, as Nathan candidly shares the steep learning curve and unique ownership model that came with using Rust. But with determination and a deep understanding of Rust's capabilities, Nathan and his team created an editor with enough promise to secure funding in just two weeks.

Jarred Sumner, Founder and CEO of Oven, is bringing speed to the world of Javascript with his project, Bun. Bun is a next-generation Javascript runtime bundler, transpiler, and NPM package manager that promises lightning-fast speeds. It's already making waves in the industry. The company secured seven million dollars in funding to build hosting for Bun in August 2022. One of the secrets to Bun's success is its use of the underrated programming language Zig. Jarred explains that Zig allowed him to be incredibly productive and save time with its memory allocator. Another essential feature of Bun is its pre-allocation of almost everything, avoiding the need for dynamically pushing arrays, which can significantly slow down the process. The new version of Bun also has a different runtime than other frameworks like Node and Deno, making it even faster. In this episode, Jarred talks to Robbie and Chuck about his views on trending Twitter topics, how his company uses benchmarks to optimize Bun's performance, and what he believes has happened to the creativity of the web.

What happened to the blockchain? A few years ago, it seemed like the whole world had high hopes for the technology. Today, Chuck and Robbie wonder if it will ever make a comeback. In addition to following up on last week’s episode about input types, Chuck and Robbie remember the days when software piracy was rampant and how it affected the industry. This leads to a discussion about the blockchain and how everyone seemed to jump on the bandwagon a few years ago. But now, the technology seems to have faded into the background. However, Chuck and Robbie point out that the blockchain still has practical use cases, especially for things that require trust and immutability like government documents or a history of maintenance on a property. In this episode, Chuck and Robbie talk about the use of native inputs and how they can save time and effort, what happened to the blockchain and whether it will make a comeback, and the ebbs and flows of social media apps.

Engineers often have the urge to create something bigger and better than what already exists, driven by their competitive nature. But this desire for innovation can sometimes lead to overengineering, resulting in a loss of valuable time and resources. Robbie shares his recent frustrating experience with the custom date and time pickers in an app that left him feeling flustered and confused. Chuck believes that a developer got carried away with trying to conquer a personal challenge or solve a unique user requirement, which is a common mistake. The truth is, there's no shame in using the existing vanilla libraries that are battle-tested. Chuck and Robbie recommend starting with the base functionality provided by the browser and progressively enhancing it, rather than building entirely custom components from scratch. In this episode, Robbie and Chuck talk about the benefits and drawbacks of building custom web components versus using native browser functionalities, the complexities of the Twitter algorithm, and open-source projects that are backed by corporate funders. Key Takeaways [00:33] - A whiskey review: Sazerac Rye. [06:34] - Building custom vs. browser native HTML. [34:01] - Chuck and Robbie’s challenges with Twitter.

When you think about the career journey of a software developer, teaching elementary school is not typically the first thing that comes to mind. But for Lucia Cerchie, Developer Advocate at Confluent, her elementary school teaching experience gave her a huge advantage in her work. In this episode, Lucia discusses her work with Kafka, a distributed event streaming platform, and how she creates content to introduce developers to Kafka more easily, especially for beginners. She explains Kafka’s scalability and how it can handle large amounts of data in real-time, making it a great choice for processing high volumes of data. But Kafka isn’t the answer for everyone. Lucia emphasizes the importance of understanding the "why" behind using it and knowing when to leverage it based on the problem at hand. Lucia talks to Robbie and Chuck about her journey from being an elementary school teacher to her career in developer advocacy, her work at Confluent with Kafka, and how she creates content to make complex technologies more accessible.

Twitter released its open-source algorithm and developers like Robbie and Chuck are digging into the code to find out what they have been hiding. While the recommendation algorithm has been useful, it also has major pitfalls. Twitter’s algorithm categorizes and deprioritizes users from appearing on people's feeds which is frustrating when your page is the one being deprioritized. Google launched its AI competitor, Bard. In a rap battle, ChatGPT emerged victorious, and the two AIs even agreed to take over the world together, which the hosts found somewhat creepy. In this episode, Robbie and Chuck talk about biases they discovered in Twitter’s open-source algorithm, how developers are turning home networks into high-tech home labs, and how Google’s new AI compares to ChatGPT. Key Takeaways [01:45] - A whiskey review: Jack Daniel’s Old No. 7. [14:16] - Ways to improve safety on websites. [20:00] - Twitter makes its algorithm open source. [29:00] - What are home labs?

It’s hard to find a good package manager, and even the most seasoned developers still struggle to figure them out. Robbie kicks off the tech talk by sharing his misadventures trying to figure out pnpm leading Chuck to ask the burning question “Would you wear a pnpm T-shirt?” Despite Robbie’s struggles in pnpm, he still believes it is the better option compared to alternatives like npm, Yarn V1, or Yarn V3. The duo agree that pnpm fixes the biggest problem with traditional package managers like npm and Yarn V1, which is hoisting.

Jason Lengstorf built up an audience on YouTube by doing unscripted live coding and sharing his mistakes with his community. He credits his background as a musician and frontman of an emo band for helping him get comfortable with looking foolish in front of people. As the host of Learn With Jason, he believes there is no right or wrong answer when it comes to choosing a web development tool, as long as the decision is based on the team’s experience and the situation that the tool will enhance. Jason shares his experience and lessons learned at IBM where they allowed teams to use any tool they wanted. This resulted in different parts of the platform being built with different frameworks and the need to standardize. In this episode, Jason talks to Chuck and Robbie about the importance of choosing the right web development tool for the job, the adoption possibilities for Astro, and what the future holds for open-source developers. Key Takeaways [00:33] - Introduction to Jason Lengstorf, Host of Learn With Jason. [05:03] - A whiskey review: Heaven Hill Bottled-in-Bond.

A lot of the discussion about which tool is right or wrong is sort of missing the forest for the trees.” ~ Jason Lengstorf [16:46] - “If you have a group of people who have an expertise or a lack of expertise, then the tools you choose should be polyfilling for where they’re at and allowing them to use their strengths.” ~ Jason Lengstorf [20:53] - “The only way that you can really use a tool wrong is if you’re dragging people kicking and screaming against their will into using a tool. You’re just setting yourself up for failure.” ~ Jason Lengstorf Links Jason Lengstorf Twitter Jason Lengstorf LinkedIn Learn with Jason Learn with Jason YouTube ErgoDox EZ Heaven Hill Bottled-in-Bond Buffalo Trace Distillery Ezra Brooks Bourbon Evan Williams Bourbon Pappy Van Winkle Febreze Bacardi 151 Tailwind CSS JavaScript React JS BEM Netlify IBM Cloud Backbone JS Angular Vue jQuery Astro Gatsby JS Svelte Next JS Internet Explorer Facebook Vercel Remix Preact JS Qwik Jason Miller Andrew Clark Zach Leatherman Eleventy Ryan Carniato Kyle Matthews Render Fly Hydrogen Rich Harris Oracle Tom Preston-Werner Shopify Cloudflare Solid JS Lululemon Red Hat NPM Microsoft Google Homebrew Open Collective Planned Parenthood Redwood JS Rails Tanner Linsley TanStack The Burger Show Hot Ones Nuxt JS Parks and Recreation Amboy Chat GPT Connect with our hosts Robbie Wagner Chuck Carpenter Ship Shape Subscribe and stay in touch Apple Podcasts Spotify Google Podcasts Whiskey Web and Whatnot Top-Tier, Full-Stack Software Consultants This show is brought to you by Ship Shape.

Astro 2.0 is launching new exciting features and it’s setting the bar for HTML frameworks. What makes Astro unique in web development and what are its future possibilities? Fred K. Schott, CEO of the Astro Technology Company, says it’s all in the framework’s content focus and island architecture. For Fred, the aim is to have a tool that's HTML-first but still sprinkles in interactivity and allows developers to bring in components from other frameworks. They focused on solving the problem of sending a full JavaScript application to power a mostly static site. The attention to developer experience paid off and is one of the reasons Astro is creating waves in the developer community. In this episode, Fred talks with Chuck and Robbie about how Astro uses an HTML-first approach to create content-focused websites, the latest features of Astro V2, and the trend of blindly using popular frameworks like React. Key Takeaways [00:21] - An introduction to Fred K. Schott. [03:19] - A whiskey review: Pinhook: Artist Series Release No. 2 Whiskey Nicking.

[47:57] - Fred’s hobbies. Quotes [02:36] - “Someone once described Astro as the first web framework that’s HTML first without hating developers for not using HTML, and I always resonated with that.” ~ Fred K. Schott [26:12] - “I think you can’t talk about React without talking about where the web was at that point. We had a template in two different code bases, two different languages, it was a mess. And that’s the world that React came in and kind of saved us from.” ~ Fred K. Schott [31:38] - “What makes (Astro) unique is our content focus. We talked about, you have one Solid component that’s a form and otherwise a mainly static site, that’s exactly where Astro shines.” ~ Fred K. Schott Links Fred K. Schott Fred K.

Astro has once again become a hot topic, capturing the attention of developers and impressing them with its user-friendly features. Astro 2.0 introduced new and improved error overlays that are functional and well-designed, making debugging more efficient for developers. Astro 2.0 is powered by the fast and efficient Vite 4, which has received high praise in the developer community. Robbie thinks Vite is the future of build tools and based on the State of JS results, many others seem to agree. Chuck shares his struggles with using material UI as a library for Tailwind, which has left him feeling frustrated. But, Robbie thinks using Tailwind UI and Headless UI makes material UI redundant. In this episode, Chuck and Robbie talk about the exciting new features of Astro 2, the pros and cons of using material UI, and their cleanse diets.

The developer community can be highly opinionated. We find our favorite tools and fiercely support them because they help us meet our goals. Tailwind has been polarizing since it launched in 2017. Some developers swear by it, claiming it makes their code cleaner while others think it’s a waste of time. The State of JS results are in and they reveal that Ember is still lagging behind in retention, interest, usage, and awareness compared to other frameworks. Chuck and Robbie agree that it doesn't really matter what framework you use, as long as you are productive and have a reusable, understandable way of working. In this episode, Robbie and Chuck talk about the polarizing debates in the developer community surrounding Tailwind CSS on Twitter, the results of the 2023 State of JS survey, and their favorite shows. Key Takeaways [01:33] - A whiskey review - Wolves X Undeated Signature Blend. [11:17] - Recent Tailwind wars on Twitter. [20:03] - Chuck and Robbie review the State of JS survey.

Slow page speeds and bad developer experience are huge pain points. If you can get those two things right, the developer community will likely rally behind you. CSS hit the bullseye when it introduced trigonometry functions to boost performance by avoiding Javascript. But Cypress has been a big letdown in DX. Before introducing trig functions, CSS was pretty limited and it relied on Javascript to do all the complex styling. Since Javascript takes a significant amount of time to parse, that’s a big hit to your overall page speed. Now, CSS trig functions allow more flexibility to style pages with angles. Even Chuck, who isn’t a fan of CSS, can admit this is a big win for developers. Cypress, on the other hand, has locked some of their features behind a paywall and some developers are not happy about the change. Chuck and Robbie both find the tool too complicated and expensive compared to its alternatives. In this episode, Robbie and Chuck talk about CSS introducing trigonometry functions to avoid Javascript, why Cypress isn’t living up to their expectations, testing software alternatives, and Chuck’s new sim racing hobby. Key Takeaways [00:28] - A whiskey review: Orphan Barrel: Muckety Muck 26 Year [09:28] - CSS adds trigonometry functions. [17:05] - What makes a good testing tool.

If you’re like Robbie and you haven’t dug into SQL since college, learning the basics of SQL vs NoSQL is a great place to start. Working with data isn’t a part of every developer’s day-to-day, but it can’t hurt to understand the differences. NoSQL is gaining popularity among engineers because of the ease and flexibility of updating fields with new data. Some engineers prefer taking unstructured data and using a programming language they already know, like Python, to write their queries. SQL is far more structured and requires strict rules for writing queries. As with most things in tech, whether SQL is better than NoSQL depends on your business and use cases. In this episode, Robbie and Chuck talk about the pros and cons of SQL vs NoSQL, why they like SQL databases like Prisma and Postgres, and their Christmas and New Year festivities. Key Takeaways [00:56] - Chuck and Robbie wrap up the Advent of Whiskey. [01:35] - A whiskey Review: Yellowstone Select Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey. [04:47] - SQL versus NoSQL. [13:24] - Using Prisma and MySQL. [28:56] - Chuck and Robbie discuss the holidays and family life. Quotes [16:40] - “I don't have to touch databases much, but when I do, I like that they are Postgres.” ~ Robbie Wagner [17:13] - “I never really remember having fun with a project that was in SQL Server or MySQL.” ~ Robbie Wagner [22:26] - “This project is using Prisma, and Prisma has nice sugar around accessing entities.” ~ Chuck Carpenter Links Yellowstone Select Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey Lime Stone Branch Buffalo Trace MySQL DynamoDB PostgresSQL Prisma PostGIS Supabase Postico SQL Server Ember Data Astro SolidJS Next.js SolidStart Remix Shopify Spotify Michael Jackson Roka Akor Pepsi 90-Day Finance Andor Peaky Blinders Spirited The Greatest Showman Everyone Says I Love You Woody Allen Edward Norton Drew Barrymore Hamilton Disney Book of Mormon Deadpool Ryan Reynolds Welcome to Wrexham Mint Mobile My Next Guest Needs No Introduction Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee Kim Kardashian Kanye Titanic House of Cards James Dean Sharpie Porsche iPhone CNN Don Lemon Anderson Cooper Kevin Hart Connect with our hosts Robbie Wagner Chuck Carpenter Ship Shape Subscribe and stay in touch Apple Podcasts Spotify Google Podcasts Whiskey Web and Whatnot Top-Tier, Full-Stack Software Consultants This show is brought to you by Ship Shape.

Many people dream about being their own boss, but there’s no clear rulebook that outlines how to get there. While self-employment seems glorious to some, it’s not for everyone. How does someone know when they are ready to take the step into the unknown, and how do they know if that choice will suit them? Josh Goldberg, Open Source Developer and author of Learning TypeScript , built much of his coding career at Microsoft and Codecademy before taking the leap into full-time open source tooling in January 2022. Since then, he has published a book and expanded his networking by speaking at over 30 conferences, but he still has time to discuss coding languages and hiking in Arizona over a glass of whiskey. In this episode, Josh talks to Chuck and Robbie about Typescript adoption, becoming a full-time open source developer, and the power of expanding your professional network. Key Takeaways [01:48] - An intro to Josh Goldberg. [2:28] - A whiskey review - Barrell Armida Bourbon Whiskey. [07:01] - Chuck, Robbie, and Josh’s whiskey rating.

Quotes [29:33] - “You have to iterate in public and learn from real world usage in order to get things right.” ~ Josh Goldberg [31:14] - “If you’re trying to convince people to switch to TypeScript, you convince them based on the pain points they have and how TypeScript fits into them.” ~ Josh Goldberg [42:27] - “There are a lot of people who are interested in going full-time open source. It’s a great place to be, but I wouldn’t recommend going into this without a lot of prior work. To build up your network, to get a full-time job in a development team that gives you mentorship and management that helps you grow that way so that you are well equipped to go into open source first.” ~ Josh Goldberg Links Josh Goldberg on LinkedIn Josh Goldberg Website Josh Goldberg Blog Learning TypeScript Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute Barrell Armida Bourbon Whiskey TypeScript JavaScript PHP GraphQL C++ Adobe Photoshop HTML Flow Meta CoffeeScript Codecademy Config file Opensource VTEST GitHub Halo Microsoft Connect with our hosts Robbie Wagner Chuck Carpenter Ship Shape Subscribe and stay in touch Apple Podcasts Spotify Google Podcasts Whiskey Web and Whatnot Top-Tier, Full-Stack Software Consultants This show is brought to you by Ship Shape.

Working together in a professional environment is easier said than done, especially when teams have conflicting workflows, priorities, and skill sets. Designers are all too familiar with having their work feel like a second priority to developers. Is there a way that designers and developers can collaborate successfully without sacrificing their individual needs? Enter Penpot, the first Open Source design and prototyping platform for cross-domain teams. Penpot was developed by Pablo Ruiz-Múzquiz, CEO and Co-Founder of Kaleidos, Taiga and Penpot, to bring collaboration between designers and developers to the next level. Penpot inspires designers to become comfortable using open source and allows developers to become excited about the design process. In this episode, Pablo talks to Chuck and Robbie about how Penpot differs from its primary competitor, Figma, and why designers and developers love their platform. Key Takeaways [00:36] - An intro to Pablo Ruiz-Múzquiz. [02:38] - A whiskey review - Willet Family Estate Bottled Rye. [05:31] - Chuck, Robbie, and Pablo’s whiskey ranking.

Quotes [26:27] - “We don’t just want to accelerate design into code, but also coding to design.” ~ Pablo Ruiz-Múzquiz [31:18] - “First, we need to make sure that designers really appreciate what we’re doing. Whenever they first encounter Penpot, they see it, they feel it. It’s meant for them. Not as a gift from engineers.” ~ Pablo Ruiz-Múzquiz [36:54] - “Design is more important than ever. Design is eating software faster than software is eating the world. Software is a key differentiator, a key element in the critical palette of innovation. Design is key, and yet it remains outside the software building pipeline.” ~ Pablo Ruiz-Múzquiz Links Pablo Ruiz-Múzquiz on LinkedIn Pablo Ruiz-Múzquiz on Twitter Pablo Ruiz-Múzquiz's website Willet Family Estate Bottled Rye Kaleidos Penpot Taiga Figma Adobe Universidad Complutense de Madrid The Lord of the Rings Trilogy The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power The Hobbit Film Series Twitter Elon Musk on Twitter Connect with our hosts Robbie Wagner Chuck Carpenter Ship Shape Subscribe and stay in touch Apple Podcasts Spotify Google Podcasts Whiskey Web and Whatnot Top-Tier, Full-Stack Software Consultants This show is brought to you by Ship Shape.

Robbie and Chuck think the process is rigged. Memorizing algorithms and solving problems in 30 minutes isn’t good enough to judge someone’s capabilities and decide whether they can be trusted for a job. Many great developers crack under the pressure of interviews but that doesn’t mean they’re not good at what they do. The interview process is just a formality to verify someone’s identity, it shouldn’t be used to drill developers and set them up for failure. Companies are better off looking at a developer’s open-source and public projects to see what they have to offer. In this episode, Chuck and Robbie talk about Holiday Trivia and the major downside with algorithms in tech interviews.

Is YAML a programming language? According to Robbie and Chuck, it’s not. And even though you could code in YAML and add functions to it, doesn’t mean you should. Some things are better left uncomplicated. YAML is a data structuring format, and that’s what it’s good at. While some might disagree, Chuck and Robbie believe functions are one of the key elements of programming languages and YAML doesn’t have that baked in. If you’re looking for functions, it’s better to stick to a programming language that has what you need. In this episode, Chuck and Robbie talk about holiday trivia, the history behind Pearl Milling Company’s rebrand, and the pros and cons of coding in YAML.

It’s anyone’s guess what the future of front-end frameworks will hold but the developer community on Twitter has its own predictions. Meanwhile, usage numbers for Javascript frameworks are showing that Vue and Next are catching up to React. Is the hype around React plateauing, or is that wishful thinking? Whether you call them meta frameworks, backend frameworks, or rendering frameworks, they seem to be sparking excitement in the Javascript community. Remix, Vercel, Next JS, and Nuxt are the ones to watch. But out of all the front-end frameworks, Robbie believes Svelte will come out on top because it has the best balance of vanilla Javascript with added features. In this episode, Chuck and Robbie talk about frameworks steering the future of front-end development, what’s happening in the 2022 Qatar World Cup, and the structure of college football. Key Takeaways [01:25] - Number 13 Whiskey: Noble Oak - Double Oak Rye Whiskey. [04:26] - Number 14 Whiskey: Akashi Japanese Blended Whiskey. [08:12] - Holiday Trivia.

Popularity doesn’t equal quality. We’ve seen it with React and the latest technology to fall victim to this is OpenAI’s chatbot, ChatGPT. ChatGPT is trending on Twitter and is talked about as one of the great innovations of this era. But when Chuck and Robbie put it to the test to recommend podcast topics, it doesn’t present the most imaginative ideas. Despite the hype, the tech is not all-knowing – it is only as smart as the people who make it. On the other hand, GitLab has the opposite problem.

The State of JS is one of the best ways to get your voice heard and learn about the Javascript ecosystem. The React developers are likely in the majority of survey respondents but every developer within the Javascript community should consider taking it to get an accurate representation. One of the topics covered in the State of JS survey is browser APIs like WebGL, Web Animations, and Service Workers. Chuck and Robbie test their knowledge to see how much they know about them and Robbie recounts his terrible experience with service workers in Ember. In this episode, Chuck and Robbie talk about the importance of the State of JS survey, the features of different browser APIs, and the viral ChatGPT chatbot from OpenAI.

The Javascript landscape is ever-changing. We can always rely on the State of JS survey to keep up with the latest trends and changes in the space. According to Robbie, Microsoft seems to be at the forefront of that change. Microsoft holds the lion’s share of platforms and products in Javascript development including VS Code and GitHub. It’s hard not to rely on Microsoft as a developer. It’s also hard to find someone who doesn’t love the Xbox. But even though they’ve come a long way and given us great inventions, there’s still plenty of room to improve. Especially where developer experience and enterprise products are concerned. In this episode, Chuck and Robbie talk about results from the State of JS survey, and Microsoft’s legacy of successful gaming versus failed enterprise products.

React isn’t good at anything, except being popular. That’s a bold statement, but it’s one that Josh Collinsworth stands by. It seems like nearly every major tech company has React in their stack. But why is a framework built specifically for Facebook so popular in the general developer community? Josh Collinsworth, Senior Front End Developer at Shopify, wrote an article titled “The Self-Fulfilling Prophecy of React”. Even though Shopify uses React, Josh didn’t hold back his views on the framework. When React came about, it solved a major problem for Facebook. Since then, it’s been viewed as a solution to every problem and the tech community has been stuck in a loop of teaching React and hiring React developers. But for Josh, React isn’t a solution, it’s just a tool, and it’s not the best out there. In this episode, Josh talks to Chuck and Robbie about his viral article critiquing React’s popularity, his favorite fonts, and what it’s like juggling fatherhood with side projects. Key Takeaways [00:30] - An intro to Josh Collinsworth. [03:46] - A whiskey review - Wolves Whiskey X Willet Distillery The Rye Project Volume One Batch Two. [13:00] - Why Josh thinks React’s popularity is just a self-sustaining cycle. [39:03] - Josh’s favorite fonts. [45:00] - Josh speaks about how he maintains his hobbies being a father. [53:34] - How Shopify acquiring Remix has affected Josh. Quotes [14:04] - “If you look at the reasons you might actually pick a framework, React doesn't really tend to come out on top in any of those given categories.” ~ Josh Collinsworth [19:51] - “I think a lot of people don't realize that it hasn't aged that well. It has kind of held itself back in some ways, and the tools that we do now have offer us some advantages that React maybe can't.” ~ Josh Collinsworth [33:21] - “We're churning boot camp grads out with what we consider the minimum viable knowledge, and in this environment, that's React, and probably extremely little HTML and CSS.” ~ Josh Collinsworth Links Josh Collinsworth React Shopify CSS Tricks Complete Beginner's Guide to NPM Hacker News Remix Digital Ocean Svelte Kit Astro Solid JS Wolves Whiskey Willett Family Estate Harley Sons of Anarchy The Self-fulfilling Prophecy of React Facebook Ember Webpack Guillermo Vercel Polymer Vue Google Gap Nullvox Brew Max Howell Preact RightFont VS Code MonoLisa.dev Slack 90-Day Fiance Love Island Pwabuilder.com Xcode Electron Dun and Bradstreet Linux Snap Apple Ubuntu Stack Overflow Hydrogen Connect with our hosts Robbie Wagner Chuck Carpenter Ship Shape Subscribe and stay in touch Apple Podcasts Spotify Google Podcasts Whiskey Web and Whatnot Top-Tier, Full-Stack Software Consultants This show is brought to you by Ship Shape.

The tech layoff saga continues. The latest company in the hot seat is Twitter. After Elon Musk took control of the company, the platform has been in disarray, leaving developers out of jobs and Twitter users confused about the future of the platform. Is the tech world on fire? Whether it’s social media, browser wars, or framework debates – the tech community seems to be in disagreement or in crisis. Tech companies were aggressively hiring developers before the economic downturn. Now, these same companies are ruthlessly laying off around 15-20% of their employees. In many cases, shareholder interests are being placed above the people on the ground building the company. Where Elon Musk is concerned, it’s hard to tell his true intentions. In this episode, Chuck and Robbie talk about the slew of tech debates happening on Twitter, the fallout from Elon Musk’s Twitter takeover, and Robbie’s experience with Starlink. Key Takeaways [02:13] - A whiskey review - Barrell Seagrass. [10:53] - What developers are saying on Twitter about frameworks. [28:20] - How the tech world benefits from framework and browser wars.

Quotes [28:58] - “There are things that I like and dislike from every iteration of whatever wars (framework and browser wars) we have but there ultimately are beneficial things that come out of all of them.” ~ Robbie Wagner [33:52] - “Eight dollars for a Starbucks drink, enjoy it for 30 minutes, very happy. Eight dollars for a month on Twitter, super angry.” ~ Robbie Wagner [37:27] - “When AWS goes down, half the internet goes down.” ~ Chuck Carpenter Links Barrell Seagrass Phil Collins Fiori MGP George Dickel Whisky Twitter React Next Js Astro Web Pack Turbo Pack Vue Vite Gulp Rollup Remix Shopify Tea Java Script Azure Framework WASM Hulu Netflix Starbucks Amazon Amazon Web Services Rack Space Mac Starlink Eero Disney Plus Bronco Porsche Bring a Trailer Peaky Blinders Star Wars The Mandalorian Obi-Wan Kenobi Cobra Kai Karate Kid The Haunting of Hill House The Sandman DC Titans HBO Max Batman Justice League Connect with our hosts Robbie Wagner Chuck Carpenter Ship Shape Subscribe and stay in touch Apple Podcasts Spotify Google Podcasts Whiskey Web and Whatnot Top-Tier, Full-Stack Software Consultants This show is brought to you by Ship Shape.

WordPress powers over 43% of sites on the internet today, making it a powerhouse web technology. Its simplicity attracted bloggers and do-it-yourselfers who navigate the platform by Googling code snippets. That knowledge gap comes with a whole host of accessibility issues. Amber Hinds, Founder and CEO at Equalize Digital, quit her part-time gig as a freelance developer when she found WordPress was an easier way to manage content. She's been doing accessibility work on the platform since 2016 and has seen a boom in the past two years of companies searching for accessibility experts. Amber built the Accessibility Checker plugin as a guardrail to help DIYers avoid common mistakes by auditing a site and flagging accessibility issues. The plugin is also an education tool for content managers, and developers to learn about accessibility. In this episode, Amber talks to Chuck and Robbie about web accessibility on WordPress, making accessibility a priority in colleges and boot camps, and RVing around the country with her family. Key Takeaways [00:35] - An intro to Amber Hinds. [00:54] - A whiskey review - Weller Special Reserve. [07:49] - What it's like working with WordPress in 2022 compared to earlier years.

Working on open source projects is a largely thankless job and a labor of love. The developers behind these projects often juggle full-time jobs to pay their bills while maintaining the software that keeps so much of the internet afloat. Max Howell, CEO of tea.inc., pivoted from chemistry to web development because of his fascination for open source. He worked full-time and did pull requests for Homebrew during his free time. After hustling to build a package manager used by engineers working for corporate giants like Google and Microsoft, he reached an inevitable burnout. Max created tea.inc. to fairly compensate open source developers for the work they do with the hope that open source work will be lucrative and sustainable full-time. The project has raised 18 million so far and it's set to launch in early November. In this episode, Max talks to Chuck and Robbie about the burnout of working on underfunded open source projects, why he left Homebrew despite its success, and launching tea.inc. as a Web3 solution for funding open source. Key Takeaways [00:21] - An introduction to Max Howell. [01:15] - A whiskey review - American Highway Reserve Bourbon. [07:18] - Max's new project, tea.inc. [26:21] - Max speaks about England.

While multi-page apps (MPAs) seem like a new fixation for the developer community, they're pretty ancient news. If you were browsing the web in the 90s, you were likely visiting a multi-page app. Lucky for us, web tech improved, and made the entire experience of multi-page apps more appealing. One of the cons of MPAs is that they don't have preload and prefetch out of the box. Single-page apps (SPAs) on the other hand give you the power to decide how your site loads by loading all the resources for your current page and fetching resources for a page you might navigate to after. This might seem small but it makes a huge impact on your site. The good news is, more computing power gave way to better server-rendered technology, a huge win for multi-page apps. Unlike single-page apps (SPAs), multi-page apps parse very little JavaScript. That shaves seconds off your initial load which is no small feat. In this episode, Chuck and Robbie discuss the pros and cons of multi-page apps, the benefits and the distinction between prefetch vs preload, and the good old days on the internet. Key Takeaways [02:10] - A whiskey review - Wolves Signature Blend Special Release. [08:02] - Chuck and Robbie discuss multi-page apps. [13:46] - Advantages and disadvantages of multi-page apps.

Maintaining a CSS codebase can become chaotic pretty quickly and building a new stylesheet for every project can get tedious. Frameworks like Tailwind CSS were born to solve this problem. Adam Wathan, CEO of Tailwind Labs, built a "library-style CSS" for personal use and had no idea the concept would resonate with as many people as it did. When developers started asking him to share his library for them to use in their own projects, he got to work building out the framework. Two years after Tailwind CSS's launch, Adam released Headless UI to bring unstyled compatible UI components into the fold. Since then, it's sparked polarizing discourse between developers who either love it or hate it. In this episode, Chuck and Robbie talk to Adam about what motivated him to create Tailwind CSS, how Headless UI was born, why Tailwind is creating polarizing discourse among developers, and his powerlifting past. Key Takeaways [00:35] - An introduction to Adam Wathan. [01:55] - A whiskey review - W3WC Sagamore Rye Barrel Pick #001. [06:51] - Adam explains Tailwind CSS. [09:47] - The problems that inspired Adam to create Tailwind. [35:24] - How Headless UI fits into Tailwind. [41:09] - Whether Tailwind will support other frameworks in the future. [44:33] - Adam's powerlifting career. Quotes [16:47] - "I started noticing that the only things that really survived every port were the things that were lower and lower level. Something like a class that adds margin left to something that's useful in every project, but a button might look different in every project." ~ Adam Wathan [https://twitter.com/adamwathan] [23:40] - "The main problem that Tailwind is ultimately trying to solve is giving inline style superpowers. It's not like inline styles are evil, it's like inline styles are awesome. Let's make them super awesome." ~ Adam Wathan [https://twitter.com/adamwathan] [24:10] - "To me, Tailwind is basically inline styles with a bunch of extra power bolted on." ~ Adam Wathan [https://twitter.com/adamwathan] Links Adam Wathan [https://adamwathan.me/] Adam Wathan Twitter [https://twitter.com/adamwathan] Adam Wathan LinkedIn [https://www.linkedin.com/in/adam-wathan-9418984a/?originalSubdomain=ca] Tailwind CSS [https://tailwindcss.com/] Tailwind UI [https://tailwindui.com/] Discord [https://discord.com/] CSS Zen Garden [http://www.csszengarden.com/] Nicolas Gallagher [https://nicolasgallagher.com/] Normalize CSS [https://necolas.github.io/normalize.css/] Bootstrap [https://getbootstrap.com/] Laravel [https://laravel.com/] Vue [https://vuejs.org/] React [https://reactjs.org/] Riverside [https://www.npmjs.com/~riverside] Chrome [https://www.google.com/chrome/] Stimulus [https://stimulus.hotwired.dev/reference/css-classes] Twitter [https://twitter.com/?lang=en] Select2 [https://select2.org/] BEM [https://getbem.com/] Atomic CSS [https://acss.io/] Markdown [https://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/syntax] Headless UI [https://headlessui.com/] Select2 [https://select2.org/] Svelte [https://svelte.dev/] Caleb Porzio [https://calebporzio.com/] Alpine JS [https://alpinejs.dev/] Solid JS [https://www.solidjs.com/] See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info .…
In 2022, the future of Ember is taking shape thanks to developers like Godfrey Chan. Alongside Yehuda Katz and other engineers, Godfrey's working on a new edition of Polaris. The project has three main goals: to align Ember with the modern npm packaging system, continue to invest and innovate in reactivity, and encourage universal design principles. Like many developers, Godfrey came to Ember from Rails. Months after chatting with Yehuda and Tom Dale at EmberConf, Godfrey was hired at Tilde and thrown into the Ember deep end. Today, Godfrey's focused on big picture developments, tackling lofty goals like developing an Ember model to navigate JavaScript classes. In this episode, Godfrey talks with Chuck and Robbie about what's to come for Polaris, solving major developer headaches, Godfrey's philosophy on frameworks, top use cases for solutions like Starbeam, and why these innovations are necessary in 2022. Key Takeaways [00:29] - A quick intro to Godfrey. [01:49] - A whiskey review. [09:27] - A sneak peek at Polaris. [16:15] - Why Polaris is about easy transitions. [20:11] - How Polaris plans to evolve. [24:54] - How Godfrey got into Ember. [27:30] - What Starbeam is. [32:50] - Use cases for Starbeam. [36:03] - Why Starbeam is necessary in 2022. [39:49] - A hobby and people-watching themed Whatnot. Quotes [14:54] - "Tools like TypeScript don't automatically just understand what's up within ember app. At least one of the things for Polaris is to figure out how we can transition to a world where we don't have those little tiny differences anymore so that when you open a project in VS Code, TypeScript just knows what's up." ~ @chancancode [https://twitter.com/chancancode] [37:46] - "I think conceptually, a reactivity layer that is decoupled from the framework makes a lot of sense to me because there's just a lot of libraries and abstractions that you want to write that eventually, you want people to be able to use them in UI." ~ @chancancode [https://twitter.com/chancancode] [39:31] - "I think having something like Starbeam where you can express those reactivity concepts or those annotations without making your library only usable in React or Vue or whatever is a good thing to have in 2022." ~ @chancancode [https://twitter.com/chancancode] Links Godfrey Chan [https://twitter.com/chancancode] Ember [https://emberjs.com] Ember Core Team [https://emberjs.com/teams/] Rails Core Team [https://rubyonrails.org/community] Ruby on Rails [https://rubyonrails.org] Tilde [https://www.tilde.io] Lyre's American Malt [https://lyres.com/range/american-malt/] Multnomah Whiskey Library [https://mwlpdx.com] EmberConf [https://2022.emberconf.com] Godfrey's EmberConf 2022 Keynote [https://2022.emberconf.com/talks/keynote-part-2] Slides [https://speakerdeck.com/chancancode/virtual-emberconf-2022-platform-state-of-the-union)] Yehuda's EmberConf 2022 Keynote [https://2022.emberconf.com/talks/keynote-part-1] Slides [https://ember.slides.com/users/sign_in] Ember Octane [https://emberjs.com/editions/octane/] Ember Inspector [https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/ember-inspector/bmdblncegkenkacieihfhpjfppoconhi] TypeScript [https://www.typescriptlang.org] JavaScript [https://www.javascript.com] webpack [https://webpack.js.org] Visual Studio Code [https://code.visualstudio.com] See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info .…

Quotes [15:23] - "Bash hasn't innovated at all. It's the same thing it's always been. It does its job but I don't need to remember all that stuff. Give me some auto-complete and some nice color themes and cool stuff." ~ @rwwagner90 [https://twitter.com/rwwagner90] [29:11] - "I know Next. I don't even have to know Next and I know it because it's a good framework. React by itself is just a huge learning curve. Because it's like, 'ok we're going to do all this stuff that looks nothing like anything anyone else is doing.'" ~ @rwwagner90 [https://twitter.com/rwwagner90] [29:54] - "React is becoming more opinionated as its user base continues to grow and becomes more opinionated." ~ @CharlesWthe3rd [https://twitter.com/CharlesWthe3rd] Links Beast Masters Club Private Barrell - Elijah Craig - "Three Tenors, Hogze Carreras" [https://www.beastmastersclub.com/shop/pinhook-gn4pm-92ty8-zpx4f] Slack [http://www.slack.com] Whiskey Web and Whatnot: A Battle of Two Worlds and Mentorship Above Milestones with Cory Brown [https://www.whiskeywebandwhatnot.fm/a-battle-of-two-worlds-and-mentorship-above-milestones-with-cory-brown/] Buffalo Trace [https://www.buffalotracedistillery.com] Eagle Rare [https://eaglerare.com] The FRIENDS Experience [https://www.friendstheexperience.com] 5 Tips to Improve Your Terminal Experience [https://shipshape.io/blog/five-tips-to-improve-your-terminal-experience/] Amazon [http://www.amazon.com] iTerm [https://iterm2.com] Hyper [https://hyper.is] Warp [https://www.warp.dev] fish shell [https://fishshell.com] Fig [https://fig.io] Z shell [https://zsh.sourceforge.io] dotfiles [https://dotfiles.github.io] Homebrew [https://brew.sh] Homebrew cask [https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-cask] MonoLisa font [https://www.monolisa.dev] Starship [https://starship.rs] Node.js [https://nodejs.org] Rust [https://www.rust-lang.org] Ember [https://emberjs.com] LinkedIn [http://www.linkedin.com] Bun [https://bun.sh] Discord [https://discord.com] Remix [https://remix.run] Next.js [https://nextjs.org] API Routes [https://nextjs.org/docs/api-routes/introduction] Middleware [https://nextjs.org/docs/advanced-features/middleware] WWDC22 [https://developer.apple.com/wwdc22/] See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info .…
It's not often that a blog post sets the internet on fire. But a recent post by Cory Brown about async/await led to an uproar and even messages of pity from Hacker News. Who knew a simple post about pattern preferences would cause such controversy? Today, Cory's here to explain his side of the story for those happily using async/await in various concurrency patterns. Luckily, Cory believes, to each their own, and even welcomes responses from developers like Eric Elliott and Robbie as important food for thought. So which universe do you prefer? Object-oriented or functional? In this episode, Cory talks with Chuck and Robbie about why he prefers promise to async/await, his response to Robbie's weekly rant on classes, what really makes an engineer "senior", how every tech team should operate, and why Cory recently chose to learn Scottish Gaelic. Key Takeaways [00:40] - A brief introduction to Cory. [01:19] - A whiskey review. [08:39] - Cory's controversial opinion on async/await patterns. [18:56] - How Cory views classes and his defense of Hooks. [29:54] - Why time matters with engineer seniority. [42:00] - A Dr. Pepper and obscure language-themed whatnot. Quotes [26:27] - "I've already seen ideas from the object-oriented world come in and benefit the functional world. And vice versa — the functional world come in and really benefit the object-oriented world. So I don't want to see either of them go away even as I choose to essentially wholly live on one side." ~ Cory Brown [https://twitter.com/uniqname] [37:10] - "If you have any hope of going to whatever your next job is and entering a codebase that is at all reasonable, then we need to start training our junior engineers. And unfortunately, businesses are not investing in that for whatever reason so it's on us to do that." ~ Cory Brown [https://twitter.com/uniqname] [40:24] - "A large chunk of the last several years of my career has been a diminished focus on producing stuff directly and more in enabling others to produce more quickly." ~ Cory Brown [https://twitter.com/uniqname] Links Cory Brown on Twitter [https://twitter.com/uniqname] Cory's website [https://365jsthings.tech] Aumni [https://www.aumni.fund/] National Geographic [https://www.nationalgeographic.com/] Spiritless Kentucky 74 [https://spiritless.com/products/kentucky-74-non-alcoholic-bourbon] Eric Elliott [https://ericelliottjs.com/] Why I avoid async/await [https://uniqname.medium.com/why-i-avoid-async-await-7be98014b73e] JavaScript [https://www.javascript.com] Promise [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Promise] Async/await [https://javascript.info/async-await] Hacker News [https://news.ycombinator.com] YAML [https://yaml.org] Douglas Crockford [https://www.crockford.com] Yehuda Katz [https://yehudakatz.com] Ember.js [https://emberjs.com] React [https://reactjs.org] Preact [https://preactjs.com] Stencil.js [https://stenciljs.com] Hooks [https://reactjs.org/docs/hooks-intro.html] Clojure [https://clojure.org] The Coming Storm (Cory's post about emerging software developers) [https://uniqname.medium.com/the-coming-storm-c03ada70b022] Backstage [https://backstage.io] Dr. Pepper [https://twitter.com/drpepper] See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info .…
In 2017, James C. Davis moved to Charlottesville, Virginia to work at a non-profit tech company that used Ember in their original Saas platform. While James had dabbled in Ember previously, an ask to reimplement the front-end in Ember, this time using TypeScript, proved challenging. At the time, a few engineers were using TypeScript in Ember, but the open source framework James worked on became the de-facto reference point for projects in Ember types. And the unofficial group of engineers collaborating on the project has become the official Ember TypeScript Core Team. Today, James works at e-commerce company Salsify with a front-end all in Ember TypeScript. Although setting the standard for using TypeScript in Ember, James believes there's a time and a place for types. Plus, he may have a solution for Robbie's monorepo grievances. In this episode, James talks with Chuck and Robbie about his struggles and triumphs perfecting Ember TypeScript, his real thoughts on monorepos and functional programming, keeping APIs private, and why developing Glint was a type checking necessity. Key Takeaways [01:46] - A whiskey review. [05:48] - Two truths and a lie. [12:28] - How James discovered Ember and open source. [16:28] - The purpose of the dot ember-cli file. [22:00] - When TypeScript isn't your best bet. [22:53] - How the Ember TypeScript core team is handling private API. [25:41] - How James feels about monorepos and functional programming in general. [28:57] - What tool James uses to link packages. [31:36] - How James created Glint. [39:03] - A camping, travel, and steak-themed whatnot. Quotes [17:58] - "One of the cool things about the way TypeScript is done now with Babel is we can write stuff in TypeScript and we can use Babel to basically strip out all of the type annotations and just produce JavaScript." ~ @jamscdavis [https://twitter.com/jamscdavis] [19:38] - "Basically at this point, the only really useful thing that you need inside ember-cli-typescript is its blueprint which is different from the blueprints that generate components and Ember things." ~ @jamscdavis [https://twitter.com/jamscdavis] [21:53] - "The bigger and more complex your project is, the more that [TypeScript] helps you." ~ @jamscdavis [https://twitter.com/jamscdavis] Links James on Twitter [https://twitter.com/jamscdavis] GitHub [https://github.com] Twitter [http://www.twitter.com] Elon Musk [https://twitter.com/elonmusk] Starlink [https://www.starlink.com] Ragged Branch Virginia Straight Bourbon (Wheated Bourbon) [https://www.raggedbranch.com] It Might Get Loud [https://www.amazon.com/Might-Get-Loud-Jimmy-Page/dp/B002WNC5BU] Whiskey Web and Whatnot: Bringing Types to Ember with Chris Krycho [https://www.whiskeywebandwhatnot.fm/bringing-types-to-ember-with-chris-krycho/] Chris Krycho [https://twitter.com/chriskrycho] Ember TypeScript Core Team [https://blog.emberjs.com/typed-ember-is-now-the-ember-type-script-core-team/] Center for Open Science [https://www.cos.io] The Open Science Framework [https://www.cos.io/products/osf] Ember.js [https://emberjs.com] TypeScript [https://www.typescriptlang.org] ember-cli-typescript [https://github.com/typed-ember/ember-cli-typescript] Salsify [https://www.salsify.com] Dan Freeman [https://twitter.com/__dfreeman] Babel [https://babeljs.io] See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info .…
They say if it's not broken, don't fix it. So why are we running tests on tests on tests that aren't business-critical? There's an art to testing beyond just striving to get 100% coverage. In fact, over-testing can actually hamper your progress more than help it. Meanwhile, Chuck's wondering why it's not possible to have a union of enums in GraphQL. In this episode, Chuck and Robbie discuss some tech frustrations, lessons for the React community, why Ship Shape implemented spam traps, and a whatnot on all things alcohol, sports, Friends, and Robbie's (seemingly endless) truck saga. Key Takeaways [01:50] - A lengthy whiskey review. [22:53] - Why getting carried away with tests becomes your downfall. [34:50] - Why Chuck thinks these tests in the React community are useless. [38:16] - Chuck's GraphQL confusion. [40:49] - A browser bug Chuck noticed. [44:09] - Robbie's non-sponsored plug. [44:50] - A sports-themed whatnot and an update on Robbie's truck saga. Quotes [26:52] - "There are things that warrant tests and things that don't and there are good best practices for writing them." ~ @rwwagner90 [https://twitter.com/rwwagner90] [33:44] - "Sometimes people will just chase the goal of as close to 100% coverage as possible and then you end up with a bunch of egregious tests along the way." ~ @CharlesWthe3rd [https://twitter.com/CharlesWthe3rd] [34:00] - "You need to test what's business-critical. You can do the other tests if you have the time. But there were a lot of tests that really didn't even check anything. And it's kind of arbitrary — you got that coverage, but you weren't doing anything." ~ @rwwagner90 [https://twitter.com/rwwagner90] [36:32] - "Cypress is a great example of having integration testing in context where you can get visual progression testing too so [you] have some understanding there." ~ @CharlesWthe3rd [https://twitter.com/CharlesWthe3rd] Links Maker's Mark No. 46 [https://www.makersmark.com/makers-mark-46] Maker's Mark Cask Strength [https://www.makersmark.com/makers-mark-cask-strength] Maker's Mark Private Selection [https://www.makersmark.com/makers-mark-private-selection] Woodford Reserve [https://www.woodfordreserve.com/] Jack Rose Dining Saloon [http://jackrosediningsaloon.com/] The FRIENDS Experience [https://www.friendstheexperience.com/] Mocha [https://mochajs.org/] Jest [https://jestjs.io/] Ember.js [https://emberjs.com/] Slack [http://slack.com] reCAPTCHA [https://www.google.com/recaptcha/about/] React [https://reactjs.org/] Cypress [https://www.cypress.io/] Facebook [http://facebook.com] Vite [https://vitejs.dev/] GraphQL [https://graphql.org/] Chuck on Twitter [https://twitter.com/CharlesWthe3rd] Elon Musk [https://twitter.com/elonmusk] Starlink [https://www.starlink.com/] Netlify [https://www.netlify.com/] Middesk [https://www.middesk.com/agent] QuickBooks [https://quickbooks.intuit.com/] Walkabout Mini Golf on Oculus Quest [https://www.oculus.com/experiences/quest/2462678267173943/] Holey Moley [https://abc.com/shows/holey-moley] Steph Curry [https://twitter.com/StephenCurry30] Topgolf [https://topgolf.com/us/] Rivian [https://rivian.com/] See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info .…
Great things come in unexpected places. For Tracy Lee, an ex-boyfriend's T-shirt sporting the Ember Tomster is what tipped her off to software development. Following curiosity and a three-week bootcamp, Tracy was hooked and ready to take on a career in coding. Today, Tracy is the CEO of This Dot Labs. She leads a team of 50 developers with a focus on reactive programming, web performance, and developer experience. Her clients and colleagues have become her closest friends and she's always looking to help fellow developers expand their careers. When she's not running an agency, Tracy is part of the RX Core Team (one of her many professional memberships), posting tech content to social media, and raising a new baby boy. So how does she manage it all? In this episode, Tracy talks with Chuck and Robbie about wearing every hat under the sun and wearing them well, why she loves RxJS, having hard conversations with over-eager developers, what's so often ignored by non-technical CEOs, and what keeps Tracy motivated above all else. Key Takeaways [00:09] - A Cinco De Mayo-themed beverage review. [02:47] - An intro to Tracy. [06:17] - What RxJS is used for. [09:28] - How Tracy balances everything.

[38:23] - Tracy's advice for developers and the hardest pill to swallow when you're over-eager. [45:05] - An important conversation about whiskey and Tracy's liquor cabinet. Quotes [08:24] - "Check out RxJS if you have not checked out RxJS. And then if you like it, I think it takes people a little bit to wrap their heads around it because it's a new way of thinking, but once people do I feel like people just want to RxJS all the things." ~ @ladyleet [https://twitter.com/ladyleet] [15:19] - "I hope I can turn my life into only doing my hobby again. So that's my goal. Hire enough people to where I can actually not have to do all the things I don't love." ~ @ladyleet [https://twitter.com/ladyleet] [29:36] - "I love development because it was so challenging to me, instead of business. I think developers go the other way, they're like, 'oh development's easy, let me do business stuff because that's challenging.' For me it was different, I was like, 'man this is so invigorating, this is hard and it's awesome and I can build things and create things.'" ~ @ladyleet [https://twitter.com/ladyleet] [35:19] - "I always talk about web performance and generally no one really wants to invest in it but performance is such a huge deal." ~ @ladyleet [https://twitter.com/ladyleet] Links Tracy on Twitter [https://twitter.com/ladyleet] This Dot Labs [https://www.thisdot.co] Cutwater Spirits [https://www.cutwaterspirits.com] Bartesian [https://bartesian.com] Keurig [https://www.keurig.com] RxJS Core Team [https://rxjs.dev/team?group=Core%20Team] Google Developer Expert [https://developers.google.com/community/experts] GitHub Stars [https://stars.github.com] Microsoft MVP [https://mvp.microsoft.com/en-us/] RxJS [https://rxjs.dev] Angular [https://angular.io] Ember.js [https://emberjs.com] ember-concurrency [http://ember-concurrency.com/docs/introduction/] tc39 Proposal for Observable [https://github.com/tc39/proposal-observable] Introduction to RxJS Patterns in React [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qF8XcEwwPpU] See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info .…
In early 2017, Chris Krycho was working at one of the few startups using Ember, searching for a way to bring types to the emerging language. His primary goal became solving semantic versioning for TS. As Chris kept iterating, striving to combine multiple programming worlds, other engineers joined him in the pursuit until eventually, the Ember TypeScript Core team was born. Today, Chris is a lead engineer at LinkedIn, a father, husband, runner, music composer, and whiskey enthusiast. His current goal is to ensure Ember Polaris has first-class TypeScript support. Aside from offering new dad advice to Robbie, Chris also describes what can become a superpower for new developers willing to work. In this episode, Chris talks with Chuck and Robbie about best-case uses for TypeScript, a defense of complicated library code, Chris' ultimate goal with software engineering, and his advice for programmers on the rise. Key Takeaways [01:10] - A brief intro to Chris. [02:26] - A whiskey review. [10:57] - How the Ember TypeScript Core Team originated. [19:11] - When Chris believes TypeScript isn't necessary. [26:52] - Chris' lengthy experience with programming languages. [28:39] - Chris' advice to Robbie as a new father. [30:59] - How Chris responds to Robbie's issue with TypeScript. [43:50] - What a first-class component template is. [52:14] - A music and Hot Ones-themed whatnot. [57:43] - The one thing Chris always plugs for developers. Quotes [16:27] - "TypeScript support is pretty essential to modern web development. Even if you're not using TypeScript in your web app, you are using TypeScript because under the hood, all of the tooling that exists across the ecosystem, more or less, uses TypeScript." ~ @chriskrycho [https://twitter.com/chriskrycho] [19:39] - "There's no project in which TypeScript is necessary.

Do you use monorepos? Do you love NFTs named after dogs? Chuck and Robbie have mixed feelings on both monorepus and Shiba Inu tokens and they're probably not the only ones conflicted. Developer tools and the metaverse are complex topics that don't always yield solidly positive or negative results. The beauty of our ever-evolving digital space is the ability to continually iterate and learn from what's not working. Having said that, just because something is new (and trending on Twitter) doesn't mean it's the best tool for the job, nor that it should be used for anything besides its original purpose. Between monorepos and digital coins, sometimes the hype outweighs the benefit. In this episode, Chuck and Robbie discuss their thoughts on monorepos, the downside to trending languages and developer tools, why the metaverse should be approached with caution, plus a whatnot covering everything under the sun. Key Takeaways [01:22] - A brief whatnot on SNOOs and Robbie's status as a new parent. [02:55] - A whiskey review. [12:29] - Why Robbie can't wrap his head around monorepos. [28:20] - Why Robbie is (semi) entrenched in the metaverse. [34:21] - Chuck and Robbie's take on the Oscar slap and the future of comedy. [37:16] - A less serious whatnot about podcasts, electric cars, entertainment, and new babies. Quotes [21:43] - "I think that there's good practice in saying 'why?' But I don't think everything should always be one way. I think that [you should] just use the best tool for the job when you come across that." ~ @CharlesWthe3rd [https://twitter.com/CharlesWthe3rd] [22:04] - "There are cases where monorepo could work and be good for people. I'm not saying they suck all the time. It's my argument with everything — people use React because they think it's cool, people use TypeScript because they think it's the hotness, we need to type everything. Monorepos are cool because some guy said, 'hey these are cool.' If it's not solving a real problem for you, just remove that from the code." ~ @rwwagner90 [https://mobile.twitter.com/rwwagner90] [31:31] - "I still believe in the utility of the technology [of NFTs]. I do believe that there's something there. And people are just going to get more clever in the way that they apply that and there will be more security down the line. There's just way too many rug pulls these days to really make it all worth something." ~ @CharlesWthe3rd [https://twitter.com/CharlesWthe3rd] Links SNOO [https://www.happiestbaby.com/products/snoo-smart-bassinet] Calumet Farm 12 Year Old Single Rack Black [https://www.calumetbourbon.com/12yo-singlerackblack] Guinness Factory [https://www.guinness-storehouse.com/] Jack Daniel's [https://www.jackdaniels.com] Sagamore Spirit [https://sagamorespirit.com] Safari [https://www.apple.com/safari/] Rails [https://rubyonrails.org] Lerna [https://lerna.js.org] JSON [https://www.json.org/json-en.html] TypeScript [https://www.typescriptlang.org] Ember.js [https://emberjs.com] React [https://reactjs.org] Facebook [http://facebook.com] Remix [https://remix.run] Shiba Token [https://shibatoken.com] SHIBOSHIS [https://shiboshis.shibaswap.com/#/] The RECUR Portal Pass [https://pass.recurforever.com] Netflix [http://netflix.com] Darknet Diaries [https://darknetdiaries.com] PRO-SPEED Autow [https://www.prospeedautoworks.com] See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info .…
It's been a while since Chuck and Robbie dove headfirst into trending tech topics without a guest to bounce their ideas off of. Today, they discuss the latest in TypeScript and Git, the evolution of JavaScript over the years, developer pet peeves, and what success means on a team, on the web, and on the field. Key Takeaways [01:09] - A whiskey review. [10:14] - What Chuck and Robbie think about introducing TypeScript to JavaScript natively. [17:10] - A rant on everything except Git. [23:60] - Why Robbie's been having problems with Git. [33:09] - What's new from ES2022. [34:44} - A football, capitalism, and bad vegan-themed whatnot. Quotes [13:40] - "I think [tsc going away] definitely moves JavaScript forward as this thing you can use more than just for the web. And we've been doing it for things other than the web forever, but I guess to the people that are outside the JavaScript community they look at it as this thing that's mostly web, and it's really evolving past that." ~ @rwwagner90 [https://mobile.twitter.com/rwwagner90] [20:50] - "I just wish we could all agree that similar to any other language, not coding languages specifically, reading, writing, there should be punctuation." ~ @rwwagner90 [https://mobile.twitter.com/rwwagner90] [23:12] - "[Opinions on languages] is such subjective overhead and us as consultants, when you find these differences from project to project, it's just not a thing worth fighting for. And the reality is, as long as there's consistency, all the answers are right and the logic is all that matters." ~ @CharlesWthe3rd [https://twitter.com/CharlesWthe3rd] Links The Senator 6 Year Straight Rye Whiskey Barrel Proof, Kentucky, USA [https://fpwm.com/the-senator-6yr-straight-rye-whisky-barrel-proof-750ml/] Buffalo Trace Distillery [https://www.buffalotracedistillery.com] TypeScript [https://www.typescriptlang.org] Git [https://git-scm.com] JavaScript [https://www.javascript.com] CodePen [https://codepen.io] PHP [https://www.php.net/manual/en/intro-whatis.php] Deno [https://deno.land] Rust [https://www.rust-lang.org] Linux [https://www.linux.org] Arduino Project Hub [https://create.arduino.cc/projecthub] Stanford University [https://www.stanford.edu] CoffeeScript [https://coffeescript.org] Prettier [https://prettier.io] Mariana Tek [https://marianatek.com] Ember.js [https://emberjs.com] Gooey Apps [https://gooeyapps.com] Dropbox [http://dropbox.com] Adobe Dreamweaver [https://www.adobe.com/products/dreamweaver.html?sdid=KKQTJ&mv=search&ef_id=CjwKCAjwxZqSBhAHEiwASr9n9Ec768PwoGjHBRC2UoTJRGF1SPGBg4vsilWKcnwEOKsI4cQZpT6_RRoCuW0QAvD_BwE:G:s&s_kwcid=AL!3085!3!473182599044!e!!g!!dreamweaver!1711729661!69579430720&gclid=CjwKCAjwxZqSBhAHEiwASr9n9Ec768PwoGjHBRC2UoTJRGF1SPGBg4vsilWKcnwEOKsI4cQZpT6_RRoCuW0QAvD_BwE] UEFA Champions League [https://www.uefa.com/uefachampionsleague/] PSG.FR - Paris Saint Germain [https://en.psg.fr] Real Madrid CF [https://www.realmadrid.com/en/football/squad] Kylian Mbappe [https://www.instagram.com/k.mbappe] Karim Benzema [https://twitter.com/Benzema] Tom Brady [https://twitter.com/tombrady] Brett Favre [https://twitter.com/brettfavre] Boston Red Sox [https://www.mlb.com/redsox] See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info .…
When someone hands you an opportunity to specialize, to do something crazy with people you like, to learn from people building something before your eyes, it's difficult to pass up. An opportunity like that prompted Chris to leave LinkedIn for Bitski, a digital wallet for buying, selling, and storing NFTs. Leaving what's safe and secure for what's largely unknown is definitely a risk, but Chris is a risk-taker. Despite loving Rust, Chris wanted to move away from JavaScript in the years ahead and expand his developer horizons. Plus, he's learned from experience that becoming emotionally attached to whatever you're using is a dangerous game. In this episode, Chris talks with Chuck and Robbie about a lack of resources and corporate greed in open source, the framework eras we've lived through and what's to come, why workers are incredible, choosing a career path, and how to keep developing as a developer. Key Takeaways [00:23] - Introducing Chris and his recent good news. [03:20] - An heirloom whiskey review. [10:12] - Why Chris left LinkedIn and what he's up to now. [17:20] - What Chris learned from React. [18:58] - A chat about Classes, Functions, and Tailwind. [26:20] - What goes awry with execution in open source. [34:33] - Why open source is not sustainable and a brief history of the framework eras. [40:40] - Why Bitski has moved away from Ember. [46:49] - What Chris thinks about Web3. [53:37] - A DC, Disney, and Cars-themed whatnot. Quotes [14:33] - "Honestly, I've worked with JavaScript for 10 years now and I don't ever want to become one of those one-language devs. So I would like to be able to transition away from JavaScript at some point. Or at least transition into being able to work in multiple languages" ~ @pzuraq [https://twitter.com/pzuraq] [28:51] - "We built these primitives so that anybody can do it. Anybody can go and build that functionality. You don't need to RFC it to Ember. You don't need to have it be accepted by the core team." ~ @pzuraq [https://twitter.com/pzuraq] [44:06] - "I didn't understand workers at first.

The terminal is a constant in the dev world. Every developer will interact with the terminal in one way or another. So what if they worked better? Tools within the Google Suite inspired Warp Founder Zach Lloyd to bring that same ease of collaboration to the world of terminals. And so, Warp was born. Because you can't avoid terminals, the implications of improving such a widely-used tool are what kept Zach going and building momentum with Warp. Zach believes in tools that solve problems vs shiny new tools winning the popularity contest. And that keeps him iterating on Warp, with the ultimate goal of improving developer workflow. In this episode, Chuck and Robbie talk with Zach about elevating developer productivity, why Zach chose Rust, how Zach classifies the best engineers, a sneak peek at Warp's new features, and how he hopes Warp will revolutionize the developer experience. Key Takeaways [00:50] - An introduction to Zach. [01:57] - A whiskey tasting. [09:36] - A final whiskey review. [13:31] - Why Zach chose to tackle the terminal. [17:02] - Why Zach chose Rust. [21:10] - The method behind Warp's madness. [29:05] - How long it took Warp to scale up. [33:22] - What Zach learned as the interim CTO at TIME. [37:28] - A Kanye, dogs, and sports-themed whatnot. Quotes [15:13] - "One of the kind of root product ideas behind Warp was, could you build a version of a text-based interface that brings that same power to a much larger group of developers so it makes that power much more accessible." ~ @zachlloydtweets [https://twitter.com/zachlloydtweets] [29:40] - "My general philosophy for when you're building something like this is to try to pick the tool that's going to get you to the best product experience. And so it's always like working backward from what user experience is going to be best and then how do you pick the tools, and the stack, and the technology to try to achieve that." ~ @zachlloydtweets [https://twitter.com/zachlloydtweets] [30:33] - "In my experience, the best engineers who I've worked with and who I prefer to work with are people who are seeing the technology as a tool for achieving an end-user result or for solving some problem." ~ @zachlloydtweets [https://twitter.com/zachlloydtweets] Links Zach Lloyd [http://@zachlloydtweets] Porsche Experience Center [https://www.porschedriving.com/los-angeles] Warp [https://www.warp.dev] Google Workspace [https://workspace.google.com] Figma [https://www.figma.com] Stellum Bourbon [https://www.stellum.com/bourbon] Maynard James Keenan's wine (Caduceus) [https://caduceus.org] Pappy Van Winkle's Whiskey [https://www.oldripvanwinkle.com] Jim Beam [https://www.jimbeam.com/] Total Wine [https://www.totalwine.com] Seelbach's [https://seelbachs.com] Chuck on Twitter [https://twitter.com/CharlesWthe3rd] MGP of Indiana [https://www.mgpingredients.com] Heaven Hill Distillery [https://heavenhilldistillery.com] George Dickel Whiskey Distillery [https://www.georgedickel.com] Jack Daniel's [https://www.jackdaniels.com] High West Whiskey [https://www.highwest.com/products/american-prairie-bourbon] Rust [https://www.rust-lang.org] iTerm [https://iterm2.com] Google Sheets [https://www.google.com/sheets/about/] JavaScript [https://www.javascript.com] See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info .…
As developers, advancing in our careers can feel like the wild west. No guardrails, no handbook, and no standard path to success, everyone has a unique story when it comes to their coding career. Far from a developer since childhood, Jen's no stranger to the unconventional path. Her Ember education grew within an accelerator while the bulk of her skillset expanded working in open source. While not an ideal path for everyone, the small startup environment and ability to learn from others in the Ember community was integral to Jen's growth. But what if there was a way to standardize? And what should come first, a standardization of skillset or ethics? At a time when tech is advancing faster than ever and Artificial Intelligence has entered the chat, Jen Weber would argue that a need for some ethical benchmarks is the more urgent ticket. In this episode, Chuck and Robbie talk with Jen about the imperfect path to developer success, how to standardize an ever-evolving industry, the struggle to measure developer expertise, and why the Ember community is largely responsible for her growth, career, and overall outlook on tech. Key Takeaways [00:26] - An introduction to Jen. [01:18] - A whiskey review and freezing the perfect ice. [09:32] - How Jen was introduced to Ember. [14:57] - What working at a startup taught Jen about developing. [19:20] - Why creating a standardized roadmap for developers is a helpful step. [23:24] - What Jen thinks about ethical standardization. [37:06] - The challenges of measuring developer expertise. [42:57] - What hobbies Jen has outside of tech and a food-themed whatnot. [53:25] - A midwest chat. Quotes [09:47] - "Good coding often follows certain patterns. And there's lots of different terminology and there's tons of blog articles written about what all those different patterns are, and some of them are just kind of baked into Ember." ~ @jwwweber [https://twitter.com/jwwweber] [10:20] - "The [Ember] community became kind of my lifeline for figuring out how to do tricky things that were outside of what I had already learned so far, that were outside of the intro guides and tutorials. So I spent a lot of time building my knowledge through the help of other people." ~ @jwwweber [https://twitter.com/jwwweber] [13:07] - "I hesitate sometimes to say, 'work in open source' because it's unpaid, on your own time. That was how I did it, and it benefited me hugely, but also I'm interested in finding out other people's pathways to being successful, to growing their skills, to reaching more senior engineering levels than just this one meandering way." ~ @jwwweber [https://twitter.com/jwwweber] Links Jen Weber [https://twitter.com/jwwweber] Ember.js [https://emberjs.com] Belfour Bourbon Whiskey Finished With Texas Pecan Wood [https://belfourspirits.com/our-spirits/bourbon-whiskey-finished-texas-pecan-wood] Maker's Mark 46 [https://www.makersmark.com/makers-mark-46] Watcher's Whiskey Tea [https://www.adagio.com/signature_blend/blend.html?blend=86010] React [https://reactjs.org] JavaScript [https://www.javascript.com] Twitter [http://twitter.com] Blockchain [https://www.blockchain.com] Dropbox [http://dropbox.com] Adobe Dreamweaver [https://www.adobe.com/products/dreamweaver.html] Astro [https://astro.build] Ember for React Developers [https://www.notion.so/Ember-For-React-Developers-556a5d343cfb4f8dab1f4d631c05c95b] See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info .…
When it seems like everyone around you has worked in the same field for a really long time, making a career pivot with confidence can be tricky. But not everyone's been coding since their early college days like Robbie and Chuck. Kara Luton started on track to become a professional ballerina. After college and a stint in music publicity, burnout prompted Kara to make a hard left and begin a career in tech. With all the developer bootcamps and online resources now available, making the switch has never been more accessible. Not to mention, the skills Kara learned as a ballerina and a music publicist helped shape the developer she is today. From staying dedicated and detail-oriented, learning to write and learning from burnout, Kara wouldn't change anything about her unconventional path to software. In this episode, Chuck and Robbie talk with Kara about her experience learning and relearning Ember, why she loves the Ember community, her advice for those looking to switch careers, Kara's cool home office, and why every developer has something valuable to offer. Key Takeaways [00:58] - A brief introduction to Kara. [03:16] - A whiskey review. [08:51] - Kara's non-traditional path to tech. [15:57] - Kara's experience in a bootcamp and her thoughts on bootcamps as a developer launchpad. [17:34] - How Kara found Ember. [23:10] - Kara's advice for people looking to make a career pivot. [28:44] - Why Kara's looking forward to contributing to open source projects. [32:30] - How Kara's home office setup has evolved. [37:57] - Kara's thoughts on NFTs. [40:17] - Why Kara loves animals and a deep dive on her two pet dogs. [47:48] - More of Kara's hobbies outside of the web and a chat about Marvel movies. [58:48] - A soccer and sports-themed whatnot. Quotes [15:20] - "Ballet, it's very detail-oriented and I feel like that's something that's really helped me in my career as a developer, like missing a semicolon or understanding the different syntaxes — it's really helped me a lot. I'm really really grateful for my time doing ballet." ~ Kara Luton [https://www.karaluton.com] [29:37] - "Contributing to the framework that you use will give you such good knowledge of it, even if it's something small." ~ Kara Luton [https://www.karaluton.com] [31:59] - "You never know if something you say, the way you phrase something, will just make it click for somebody in a way that they haven't understood it before.

Just because something is widely used doesn't always mean it's your best solution. Frontside Founder Charles Lowell and CEO Taras Mankovski, stumbled into an alt GraphQL stack simply because the nature of a product didn't mesh with Apollo. After happening upon two up-and-coming technologies, GraphQL modules and Envelope, a solution was born, as was a newfound flexibility with GraphQL stacks. In this episode, Charles and Taras talk with Chuck and Robbie about their accidental developer discovery, the drawbacks of UI libraries, what a Relay alternative looks like, what in the world Pact is, and why adulthood is vastly overrated. Key Takeaways [00:48] - An introduction to the Frontside guys. [02:29] - A whiskey review. [08:46] - How Charles and Taras discovered a less-than-ordinary GraphQL stack. [18:39] - Why JSON:API doesn't always make sense. [23:11] - Taras' criteria for a valuable alternative to Relay. [25:04] - What is Pact? [28:30] - An NFT chat, and why adulthood is vastly overrated. [41:45] - Charles' and Taras' hobbies outside of the web and the best way to bond with your baby. [54:38] - A few last-minute mentions. Quotes [21:04] - "Relay is complex, it's difficult, and it's not as magical as other things that I've used. So I actually don't think that the primary benefit is to the clients that consume it, ironically. I think the benefit is to the developers that are trying to understand." ~ Charles Lowell [https://twitter.com/cowboyd] [56:20] - "The combination of testing and simulation and the developer experience stuff, and the emergence of developer experience as an area of focus is exciting and interesting in the same way that web and Ember was when it started. Just that sense of, we're discovering something new and there are people who are actively trying to solve a problem." ~ Taras Mankovski [https://twitter.com/tarasm] Links Charles on Twitter [https://twitter.com/cowboyd] Taras on Twitter [https://twitter.com/tarasm] Frontside [http://frontside.io] The Balvenie Doublewood 12 [https://www.thebalvenie.com/our-whisky-collection/cask-finishes/doublewood-12/] The Singleton of Glendullan Liberty [https://whizzky.net/whisky.php?ref=3614-The-Singleton-of-Glendullan-Liberty] GraphQL [https://graphql.org] Apollo [http://apollo.io] Discord [https://discord.com] Envelope [https://www.workflowproducts.com/envelope.html] JSON:API [https://jsonapi.org] runspired [https://www.instagram.com/runspired/] Whiskey Web and Whatnot: Discovering Ember, Adopting Orbit, and Unlocking Optimization with Chris Thoburn (runspired) [https://www.whiskeywebandwhatnot.fm/discovering-ember-adopting-orbit-and-unlocking-optimization-with-chris-thoburn-runspired/] Ember Data [https://guides.emberjs.com/release/models/] Orbit [https://orbitjs.com] Relay [https://relay.dev] Pact [http://pact.io] Swach [https://swach.io] Blockchain [https://www.blockchain.com] Web3 [https://web3js.readthedocs.io/en/v1.5.2/] No JS [https://apps.apple.com/us/app/no-js/id1062685513] Rails [https://rubyonrails.org] The Guild [https://www.the-guild.dev] Hive GraphQL [https://graphql-hive.com] CodeGen [https://codegen.eu] The Sandbox [https://sandboxgame.gitbook.io/the-sandbox/] See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info .…

I wish it was like that. But most of the time it's more an evolution of ideas or inspiration that I find online, other people sharing their stuff, and it generates an idea in my head." ~ @devdevcharlie [https://twitter.com/devdevcharlie] Links Charlie on Twitter [https://twitter.com/devdevcharlie] Netlify [https://www.netlify.com] JavaScript [https://www.javascript.com] Jamstack [https://jamstack.org] The Balvenie Caribbean Cask 14 [https://us.thebalvenie.com/our-whisky-range/view/caribbean-cask-14/] Practical Machine Learning in JavaScript [https://www.amazon.com/Practical-Machine-Learning-JavaScript-TensorFlow-js/dp/1484264177] TensorFlow [https://www.tensorflow.org] Python [https://www.python.org] TensorFlow.js [https://www.tensorflow.org/js] Vanilla JS [http://vanilla-js.com] Create React App [https://create-react-app.dev] Chrome Dino Game [https://chromedino.com] Street Fighter [https://www.streetfighter.com/] Amazon [http://amazon.com] Amazon Web Services (AWS) [https://aws.amazon.com] Google Developer Expert [https://developers.google.com/community/experts] Google [http://google.com] Android [http://android.com] Angular [https://angular.io] Remix [https://remix.run] Vercel [https://vercel.com] Next.js [https://nextjs.org] Whiskey Web and Whatnot: The Beauty of Remix, Falling for Tailwind, and Why NFTs Are a Scam with Kent C.
