Code & Curiosity by Maximilian Schwarzmüller

Max explains why he thinks that most JS developers benefit from learning TypeScript.

Metaframeworks like NextJS, Remix or Nuxt have become very popular over the last ~2 years. Indeed, React is now recommending NextJS as the best way of getting started with React. So will those metaframeworks replace "vanilla React" etc?

Max analyzes the official React 19 announcement blog post and explores all the exciting features that will be included in this upcoming major React version.

In this podcast episode, I discuss the dangers of getting caught in a bubble of strong opinions and how it can be counterproductive for web developers, especially those who are new to the field. I explore the fact that the majority of websites on the internet are not powered by the latest and greatest technologies, but rather by older, more established ones. I also encourage developers to focus on learning the fundamentals of web development rather than chasing every new trend.

Join me as I explain which key decision factors could be considered when choosing a modern frontend JavaScript framework or library. I compare the most popular libraries / frameworks (React, Angular, Vue, Svelte, SolidJS) and also share my personal favorite.

2023 has been the year of AI. Barely a week went by without some new AI service or model being announced. In this episode we'll dive into the rapidly evolving landscape of artificial intelligence and its potential impact on the world of software development. Max explores three main scenarios that could become reality in an AI-powered future. And, actually, one scenario is already reality! But the good news is: The other two scenarios are not likely to materialize any time soon.
