Whiskey Web and Whatnot

<p>Chuck and Robbie are joined by Emmy Cao, Developer Advocate at Wix, and Yoav Abrahami, Chief Architect at Wix at the RenderATL 2023 conference to talk all things tech, including whether low code, no code tools are making developers obsolete. </p><p>Emmy and Yoav delve into Wix’s code-first approach, where users can write code and then create screens that modify that code visually. They highlight the accessibility of Wix's platform for designers and individuals new to development, allowing them to learn coding concepts with ease. They also discuss the inclusivity of the developer community, acknowledging that coding proficiency does not define one's legitimacy as a developer. They appreciate the democratization of coding and the potential for more people to learn and engage with technology through platforms like Wix.</p> <p>In this episode, Emmy and Yoav talk to Robbie and Chuck about their perspective on popular tech debates on Twitter, the evolving nature of developer roles, and the concept of no-code and low-code platforms like Wix.</p> <p><strong>Key Takeaways</strong></p> <ul> <li>[00:25] - Introduction to Emmy Cao and Yoav Abrahami. </li> <li>[01:05] - A whiskey review: Castle and Key - Restoration Rye Whiskey. </li> <li>[11:26] - Yoav and Emmy speak about tech careers and tech hot takes. </li> <li>[33:17] - Yoav and Emmy discuss the direction Wix is going in. </li> <li>[47:46] - Vendor lock-in at Wix. </li> <li>[52:06] - Emmy talks about e-sports coaching. </li> <li>[56:36] - Yoav’s walk from Israel to the United States. </li> </ul> <p><strong>Quotes</strong></p> <p> [14:01] - “Development is about the experience, getting something done, getting software shipped, fixing these problems.” ~ <a href="https://twitter.com/yoavabrahami" target="_blank">Yoav Abrahami</a></p> <p> [15:03] - “Thirty years ago, it was just a developer alone sitting behind a computer coding.” ~ <a href="https://twitter.com/yoavabrahami" target="_blank">Yoav Abrahami</a></p> <p> [41:48] - “Honestly, I don’t think coding is as hard as people make it out to be.” ~ <a href="https://twitter.com/emmycacao" target="_blank">Emmy Cao</a></p> <p>Links</p> <ul> <li><a href="https://twitter.com/emmycacao?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor" target="_blank">Emmy Cao Twitter</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/emmycao/" target="_blank">Emmy Cao LinkedIn</a></li> <li><a href="https://twitter.com/yoavabrahami?lang=en" target="_blank">Yoav Abrahami Twitter</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/yoavabrahami/?originalSubdomain=il" target="_blank">Yoav Abrahami LinkedIn</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.wix.com/" target="_blank">Wix</a></li> <li><a href="https://twitter.com/DevsOnWix" target="_blank">Devs on Wix</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.castleandkey.com/products/restoration-rye-whiskey" target="_blank">Castle and Key: Restoration Rye Whiskey</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.douglaslaing.com/" target="_blank">Douglas Laing & Co</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.fireballwhisky.com/content/fireball/us/en.html" target="_blank">Fireball Whiskey</a></li> <li><a href="https://sagamorespirit.com/spirits/signature-rye-whiskey/" target="_blank">Sagamore Rye Whiskey</a></li> <li><a href="https://chickencockwhiskey.com/" target="_blank">Chicken Cock Whiskey</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.hbomax.com/jm/en" target="_blank">HBO Max</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.peacocktv.com/" target="_blank">Peacock</a></li> <li><a href="https://twitter.com/?lang=en" target="_blank">Twitter</a></li> <li><a href="https://tailwindcss.com/" target="_blank">Tailwind CSS</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop.html" target="_blank">Adobe Photoshop</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.emberconf.com/" target="_blank">EmberConf 2023</a></li> <li><a href="https://emberjs.com/" target="_blank">Ember</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.wix.com/velo" target=&#

<p>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.<br>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.</p> <p> In this episode, Nathan talks to Robbie and Chuck about his experience working with Atom, his motivation for building Zed, and the challenges of analyzing community feedback.<br></p> <p><strong>Key Takeaways</strong></p> <ul> <li>[00:31] - Introduction to Nathan Sobo. </li> <li>[02:51] - A whiskey review: Redbreast Kentucky Oak Edition. </li> <li>[14:12] - Why Nathan created Zed. </li> <li>[27:55] - Future plans for Zed. </li> <li>[43:01] - Where the name Zed comes from. </li> <li>[48:08] - Nathan’s views on crypto. </li> <li>[53:39] - Nathan's time in Italy. </li> </ul> <p><strong>Quotes</strong></p> <p> [17:52] - “The learning curve for Rust was, I describe it as a vertical cliff with snakes nesting in the rocks biting me as I ascended it.” ~ <a href="https://twitter.com/nathansobo?lang=en" target="_blank">Nathan Sobo</a></p> <p> [39:11] - “If I look for 20 miles in any direction, I see shit that would be a really good idea to add to Zed.” ~ <a href="https://twitter.com/nathansobo?lang=en" target="_blank">Nathan Sobo</a></p> <p> [42:31] - “I didn’t lick my finger and figure out which way the wind was blowing to start working on Zed.

<p>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.</p> <p><br>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.

<p>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. <br>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.<br>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. </p> <p><strong>Key Takeaways</strong></p> <ul> <li>[02:21] - A whiskey review: Buffalo Trace 90 Proof. </li> <li>[09:50] - Chuck and Robbie discuss native inputs that they know. </li> <li>[17:52] - New features launched in Supabase. </li> <li>[20:36] - Subscription models. </li> <li>[23:33] - What happened to the blockchain? </li> <li>[27:42] - Bluesky invites on Twitter and the current state of social media. </li> <li>[40:03] - Chuck and Robbie talk about gaming. </li> <li>[48:01] - The crazy offer Robbie got for his house. </li> <li>[50:13] - What Chuck and Robbie have been watching. </li> </ul> <p><strong>Quotes</strong></p> <p> [09:26] - “Buffalo Trace, really good, readily available, inexpensive that is a top choice.” ~ <a href="https://twitter.com/charleswthe3rd?lang=en" target="_blank">Chuck Carpenter</a></p> <p> [12:26] - “Oftentimes, they ask what makes a senior engineer, and I think the joy in deleting code is one of them.” ~ <a href="https://twitter.com/charleswthe3rd?lang=en" target="_blank">Chuck Carpenter</a></p> <p> [30:21] - “When TikTok came out, I was like TikTok is dumb.

<p>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.</p> <p> 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.<br><br>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. </p> <p><strong>Key Takeaways</strong></p> <ul> <li>[00:33] - A whiskey review: Sazerac Rye. </li> <li>[06:34] - Building custom vs. browser native HTML. </li> <li>[34:01] - Chuck and Robbie’s challenges with Twitter. </li> <li>[37:15] - What's wrong with cryptocurrency? </li> <li>[44:36] - Chuck sold his Rivian while Robbie’s house is still on the market. </li> <li>[52:48] - Syntax Podcast partners with Sentry. </li> </ul> <p><strong>Quotes</strong></p> <p> [09:41] - “Ultimately, you’re always looking at what a browser provides for free and why that isn’t good enough.” ~ <a href="https://twitter.com/CharlesWthe3rd" target="_blank">Chuck Carpenter</a></p> <p> [13:08] - “Safari is the new Internet Explorer.” ~ <a href="https://twitter.com/CharlesWthe3rd" target="_blank">Chuck Carpenter</a></p> <p> [41:21] - “The nice thing with Ethereum is it is really backing most coins because people just build on top of Ethereum.” ~ <a href="https://twitter.com/RobbieTheWagner" target="_blank">Robbie Wagner</a></p> <p>Links</p> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.sazerac.com/our-brands/sazerac-rye-whiskey.html" target="_blank">Sazerac Rye</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.buffalotracedistillery.com/" target="_blank">Buffalo Trace Distillery </a></li> <li><a href="https://vuoriclothing.com/" target="_blank">Vuori</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000867/" target="_blank">Jason Bateman</a></li> <li><a href="https://heavenhilldistillery.com/rittenhouse-rye.php" target="_blank">Rittenhouse Rye</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.apple.com/lae/safari/" target="_blank">Safari</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.apple.com/lae/iphone/" target="_blank">iPhone</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/internet-explorer.aspx" target="_blank">Internet Explorer</a></li> <li><a href="https://web.dev/progressive-web-apps/" target="_blank">Progressive Web App</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.chromium.org/" target="_blank">Chromium</a></li> <li><a href="https://arc.net/" target="_blank">Arc Browser</a></li> <li><a href="https://brave.com/" target="_blank">Brave Browser</a></li> <li><a href="https://jquery.com/" target="_blank">jQuery</a></li> <li><a href="https://react.dev/" target="_blank">React</a></li> <li><a href="https://vuejs.org/" target="_blank">Vue.js</a></li> <li><a href="https://wordpress.com/" target="_blank">WordPress</a></li> <li><a href="https://getbootstrap.com/" target="_blank">Bootstrap</a></li> <li><a href="https://mui.com/" target="_blank">Material UI</a></li> <li><a href="https://tailwindcss.com/" target="_blank">Tailwind</a></li> <li><a href="https://nextjs.org/" target="_blank">Next.js</a></li> <li><a href="https://vercel.com/" target="_blank">Vercel</a></li> <li><a

<p>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.</p> <p><br>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.</p> <p><br>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. </p> <p><strong>Key Takeaways</strong></p> <ul> <li>[00:27] - Introduction to Lucia Cerchie. </li> <li>[01:46] - A whiskey review: Barrel Bourbon Batch 032. </li> <li>[06:45] - Hot takes from Twitter. </li> <li>[14:21] - Lucia’s path to becoming a developer advocate. </li> <li>[19:58] - Lucia explains Kafka. </li> <li>[26:35] - Lucia explains Confluent and its business model. </li> <li>[39:15] - Programming languages Lucia has used in her tutorials. </li> <li>[44:17] - Chuck, Robbie, and Lucia talk about exercise. </li> <li>[47:45] - Lucia talks about her hobbies. </li> </ul> <p><strong>Quotes</strong></p> <p> [16:01] - “The motivation actually comes from back when I was teaching.

<p>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.</p> <p> 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.<br><br>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. </p> <p><strong>Key Takeaways</strong></p> <ul> <li>[01:45] - A whiskey review: Jack Daniel’s Old No. 7. </li> <li>[14:16] - Ways to improve safety on websites. </li> <li>[20:00] - Twitter makes its algorithm open source. </li> <li>[29:00] - What are home labs? </li> <li>[45:05] - Bard vs. ChatGPT. </li> <li>[50:47] - Virginia Tech Women’s Basketball team in the Final 4. </li> </ul> <p><strong>Quotes</strong></p> <p> [25:08] - “Twitter source code, there's a lot to start to unravel there, but it's nice that the algorithms are out.” ~ <a href="https://twitter.com/CharlesWthe3rd" target="_blank">Chuck Carpenter</a></p> <p> [29:27] - “There’s a whole culture of home lab creation, and it’s essentially like taking your home network and elevating it.” ~ <a href="https://twitter.com/CharlesWthe3rd" target="_blank">Chuck Carpenter</a></p> <p> [37:46] - “Mutanies are bad but, whenever one goes the way you want we call it a revolution instead.” ~ <a href="https://twitter.com/RobbieTheWagner" target="_blank">Robbie Wagner</a></p> <p>Links</p> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.jimbeam.com/en" target="_blank">Jim Beam</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.jackdaniels.com/" target="_blank">Jack Daniel’s</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.glencairnwhiskyglass.com/" target="_blank">Glencairn</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.destinationimagination.org/" target="_blank">Destination Imagination</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.odysseyofthemind.com/" target="_blank">Odyssey of the Mind</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.pepsi.com/" target="_blank">Pepsi</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.millerhighlife.com/" target="_blank">Miller High Life</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.bigleaguechew.com/" target="_blank">Big League Chew</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.sinatra.com/" target="_blank">Frank Sinatra</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.hpnotiq.com/" target="_blank">Hpnotiq</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.bacardilimited.com/" target="_blank">Bacardi</a></li> <li><a href="https://drpepper.com/" target="_blank">Dr Pepper</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.koolaid.com/" target="_blank">Kool-Aid</a></li> <li><a href="https://github.com/features/copilot" target="_blank">GitHub Copilot </a></li> <li><a href="https://www.javascript.com/" target="_blank">Javascript</a></li> <li><a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/IndexedDB_API" target="_blank">IndexedDB</a></li> <li><a href="https://twitter.com/?lang=en" target="_blank">Twitter</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC8ENHE5xdFSwx71u3fDH5Xw" target="_blank">The Primeagen</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.scala-lang.org/" target="_blank">Scala</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.rust-lang.org/" target="_blank">Rust</a></li> <li><a href="https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump" target="_blank">Donald Trump</a></li> <li><a href="https://astro.build/" target="_blank">Astro</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0106677/" target="_blank">Dazed and Confused</a>&lt

<p>The tech industry is still grappling with the aftermath of the second dot com crash. Executives are cash grabbing, banks are failing and the government seems to be turning a blind eye. Will executives replace all their developers with AI? </p> <p> It can be difficult to not turn your frustration to the C-suite when they seem to be getting more wealthy by cutting labor costs. Meanwhile, developers are living with the uncertainty and financial burden of ongoing tech layoffs.

<p>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?”<br>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. The duo dive deep into the technical aspects of package management, discussing the challenges of installing and managing dependencies in a large-scale project, and how pnpm addresses these challenges. They cover topics like global caching, peer dependencies, and the correct way to define dependencies.<br>In this episode, Robbie and Chuck talk about the pros and cons of pnpm, the downsides of using algorithm tests to vet developers, and the exciting new changes coming to Angular. </p> <p><strong>Key Takeaways</strong></p> <ul> <li>[00:30] - Chuck and Robbie ask for feedback and suggestions from listeners. </li> <li>[03:55] - A whiskey Review: Michter’s Kentucky Straight Rye. </li> <li>[09:43] - Robbie talks about his pnpm adventure. </li> <li>[25:34] - Chuck and Robbie’s thoughts on algorithms testing. </li> <li>[28:51] - The big changes coming to Angular. </li> <li>[38:05] - Robbie talks about his 1970 Ford Bronco. </li> <li>[43:22] - Chuck talks about Ted Lasso season three and other TV shows. </li> <li>[53:15] - Chuck and Robbie talk about upcoming video games. </li> </ul> <p><strong>Quotes</strong></p> <p> [21:35] - “The idea of having separate apps in a separate package and piecing those together, good idea.

<p>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. </p> <p> 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. </p> <p> 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. </p> <p><strong>Key Takeaways</strong></p> <ul> <li>[00:33] - Introduction to Jason Lengstorf, Host of Learn With Jason. </li> <li>[05:03] - A whiskey review: Heaven Hill Bottled-in-Bond. </li> <li>[15:06] - Jason’s opinion on Tailwind and how to choose the correct web tool. </li> <li>[22:16] - What makes Astro powerful? </li> <li>[29:16] - Funding open-source projects. </li> <li>[44:19] - How Jason feels about Redwood JS. </li> <li>[47:44] - Incorporating TypeScript in personal projects. </li> <li>[50:17] - Jason’s interests in pajama pants and burgers. </li> </ul> <p><strong>Quotes</strong></p> <p> [15:34] - “You should use whatever you can convince your whole team to use.

<p>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? </p> <p> 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. <br><br>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. </p> <p><strong>Key Takeaways</strong></p> <ul> <li>[00:21] - An introduction to Fred K. Schott. </li> <li>[03:19] - A whiskey review: Pinhook: Artist Series Release No. 2 Whiskey Nicking. </li> <li>[19:07] - The challenge of creating forms in Astro vs. other platforms. </li> <li>[23:32] - React’s strengths and weaknesses. </li> <li>[30:55] - What makes Astro unique? </li> <li>[44:25] - Fred’s favorite HTML element. </li> <li>[47:57] - Fred’s hobbies. </li> </ul> <p><strong>Quotes</strong></p> <p> [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.” ~ <a href="https://twitter.com/fredkschott?lang=en" target="_blank">Fred K. Schott</a></p> <p> [26:12] - “I think you can’t talk about React without talking about where the web was at that point.

Schott</a></p> <p> [31:38] - “What makes (Astro) unique is our content focus.

<p>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. </p> <p> 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.<br><br>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. </p> <p><strong>Key Takeaways</strong></p> <ul> <li>[01:42] - A whiskey review: Very Olde St. Nick Ancient Cask 8-Year-Old Rye Whiskey. </li> <li>[09:02] - New features in Astro 2.0. </li> <li>[15:35] - Asto 2.0 introduces Vite 4 as its bundler. </li> <li>[25:04] - The drawbacks of Material UI. </li> <li>[36:05] - Chuck speaks about his cleanse diet. </li> <li>[47:48] - Chuck’s experience at NBC Sports Premier League Fan Fest. </li> <li>[52:37] - Robbie talks about his Ford Bronco Restomod. </li> </ul> <p><strong>Quotes</strong></p> <p> [17:06] - “Everyone seems excited about building on top of Vite, and it unlocks so many things, so I think that would be a huge step forward for everyone.” ~ <a href="https://twitter.com/rwwagner90" target="_blank">Robbie Wagner</a></p> <p> [19:46] - “I love how many JavaScript-supporting tools are written in other languages.” ~ <a href="https://twitter.com/CharlesWthe3rd" target="_blank">Chuck Carpenter </a></p> <p> [30:47] - “Solid is really great.

<p>The developer community can be highly opinionated. We find our favorite tools and fiercely support them because they help us meet our goals.</p> <p> 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.</p> <p> 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. </p> <p><strong>Key Takeaways</strong></p> <ul> <li>[01:33] - A whiskey review - Wolves X Undeated Signature Blend. </li> <li>[11:17] - Recent Tailwind wars on Twitter. </li> <li>[20:03] - Chuck and Robbie review the State of JS survey. </li> <li>[44:50] - How Chuck and Robbie enjoyed their holiday. </li> </ul> <p><strong>Quotes</strong></p> <p> [14:29]<strong> - “</strong>I started back in the day, and you did inline styles with tables to make your Photoshop slices work out, you know what I mean?

<p>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.</p> <p> 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.</p> <p> 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. </p> <p><strong>Key Takeaways</strong></p> <ul> <li>[00:28] - A whiskey review: Orphan Barrel: Muckety Muck 26 Year</li> <li>[09:28] - CSS adds trigonometry functions.</li> <li>[17:05] - What makes a good testing tool.</li> <li>[33:19] - Chuck and Robbie talk about their upbringing and food.</li> <li>[40:45] - Chuck’s sim racing experiences.</li> <li>[50:46] - Robbie talks about selling his house.</li> </ul> <p><strong>Quotes</strong></p> <p> [27:32] - “I tried to use Cypress, and I just gave up because it took me more than an hour to figure out, and I was just like, that's not worth my time.” ~ <a href="https://twitter.com/rwwagner90" target="_blank">Robbie Wagner</a></p> <p> [28:43] - “Playwright looks like a pretty nice play in the space.” ~ <a href="https://mobile.twitter.com/charleswthe3rd" target="_blank">Chuck Carpenter</a></p> <p> [30:00] - “As a professional developer, if a tool is helping me every day, and you say it’s going to cost me $10 a day, okay.

<p>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.</p> <p>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.</p> <p>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.</p> <p><strong>Key Takeaways</strong></p> <ul> <li>[00:56] - Chuck and Robbie wrap up the Advent of Whiskey. </li> <li>[01:35] - A whiskey Review: Yellowstone Select Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey. </li> <li>[04:47] - SQL versus NoSQL. </li> <li>[13:24] - Using Prisma and MySQL. </li> <li>[28:56] - Chuck and Robbie discuss the holidays and family life. </li> </ul> <p><strong>Quotes</strong></p> <p> [16:40] - “I don't have to touch databases much, but when I do, I like that they are Postgres.” ~ <a href="https://twitter.com/rwwagner90" target="_blank">Robbie Wagner</a></p> <p> [17:13] - “I never really remember having fun with a project that was in SQL Server or MySQL.” ~<a href="https://twitter.com/rwwagner90" target="_blank"> Robbie Wagner</a></p> <p> [22:26] - “This project is using Prisma, and Prisma has nice sugar around accessing entities.” ~ <a href="https://twitter.com/CharlesWthe3rd" target="_blank">Chuck Carpenter</a></p> <p>Links</p> <ul> <li><a href="https://limestonebranch.com/spirits/yellowstone-select-kentucky-straight-bourbon/" target="_blank">Yellowstone Select Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey</a></li> <li><a href="https://limestonebranch.com/" target="_blank">Lime Stone Branch</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.buffalotracedistillery.com/" target="_blank">Buffalo Trace</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.mysql.com/" target="_blank">MySQL</a></li> <li><a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/amazondynamodb/latest/APIReference/Welcome.html" target="_blank">DynamoDB</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.postgresql.org/" target="_blank">PostgresSQL</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.prisma.io/" target="_blank">Prisma</a></li> <li><a href="https://postgis.net/" target="_blank">PostGIS</a></li> <li><a href="https://supabase.com/" target="_blank">Supabase</a></li> <li><a href="https://eggerapps.at/postico/" target="_blank">Postico</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/sql-server/sql-server-downloads" target="_blank">SQL Server</a></li> <li><a href="https://guides.emberjs.com/release/models/" target="_blank">Ember Data</a></li> <li><a href="https://astro.build/" target="_blank">Astro</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.solidjs.com/" target="_blank">SolidJS</a></li> <li><a href="https://nextjs.org/" target="_blank">Next.js</a></li> <li><a href="https://start.solidjs.com/" target="_blank">SolidStart</a></li> <li><a href="https://remix.run/" target="_blank">Remix</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.shopify.com/" target="_blank">Shopify</a></li> <li><a href="https://open.spotify.com/" target="_blank">Spotify</a></li> <li><a href="https://twitter.com/mjackson?lang=en" target="_blank">Michael Jackson</a></li> <li><a href="https://rokaakor.com/" target="_blank">Roka Akor</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.pepsi.com/" target="_blank">Pepsi</a></li> <li><a href="https://go.tlc.com/show/90-day-fiance-tlc-atve-us" target="_blank">90-Day Finance</a></li> <li>

<p>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?</p> <p> Josh Goldberg, Open Source Developer and author of <em>Learning TypeScript</em>, 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. <br><br>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. </p> <p><strong>Key Takeaways</strong></p> <ul> <li>[01:48] - An intro to Josh Goldberg. </li> <li>[2:28] - A whiskey review - Barrell Armida Bourbon Whiskey. </li> <li>[07:01] - Chuck, Robbie, and Josh’s whiskey rating. </li> <li>[12:27] - Josh’s latest book,<em> Learning TypeScript</em>. </li> <li>[21:27] - GraphQL vs. TypeScript. </li> <li>[23:40] - Josh’s journey into TypeScript. </li> <li>[27:18] - Josh’s thoughts on adding a type system directly to JavaScript. </li> <li>[30:11] - The case for TypeScript adoption. </li> <li>[34:20] - TypeScript conversion strategies and solutions from Codecademy. </li> <li>[39:43] - Josh’s transition to full-time open source developer. </li> <li>[42:27] - Josh’s advice for aspiring full-time open source developers. </li> <li>[45:10] - Josh’s experience speaking at conferences as a developer advocate. </li> <li>[57:50] - Josh’s closing remarks. </li> </ul> <p><strong>Quotes</strong></p> <p> [29:33] - “You have to iterate in public and learn from real world usage in order to get things right.” ~ <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/joshuakgoldbergcodes/" target="_blank">Josh Goldberg</a></p> <p> [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.” ~ <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/joshuakgoldbergcodes/" target="_blank">Josh Goldberg</a></p> <p> [42:27] - “There are a lot of people who are interested in going full-time open source.

<p>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?</p> <p> 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. </p> <p> 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. </p> <p><strong>Key Takeaways</strong></p> <ul> <li>[00:36] - An intro to Pablo Ruiz-Múzquiz. </li> <li>[02:38] - A whiskey review - Willet Family Estate Bottled Rye. </li> <li>[05:31] - Chuck, Robbie, and Pablo’s whiskey ranking. </li> <li>[07:47] - What Penpot is and how it compares to Figma. </li> <li>[15:50] - Adobe’s defensive acquisition of Figma. </li> <li>[24:54] - Why Pablo is excited about Penpot. </li> <li>[29:37] - How Penpot brings together designers and developers. </li> <li>[34:30] - Two top priority feature requests for Penpot. </li> <li>[39:23] - Use cases for Penpot. </li> <li>[44:31] - Why Pablo got expelled. </li> <li>[48:34] - Pablo’s diverse hobbies - from mead brewing to archery. </li> </ul> <p><strong>Quotes</strong></p> <p> [26:27] - “We don’t just want to accelerate design into code, but also coding to design.” ~ <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/pruizmuzquiz/" target="_blank">Pablo Ruiz-Múzquiz</a></p> <p> [31:18] - “First, we need to make sure that designers really appreciate what we’re doing.

<p>It’s the Advent of Whiskey finale, and Chuck and Robbie keep it casual with more holiday treats, trivia, and traditions. But it wouldn’t be Whiskey Web and Whatnot without a little tech. Physicists are doing mindbending things with tech and in case you didn’t already know it, computers can create wormholes now. <br>In this episode, Chuck and Robbie talk about their favorite holiday treats, holiday trivia, and creating wormholes using quantum computers. </p> <p><strong>Key Takeaways</strong></p> <ul> <li>[01:06] - Number 22 Whiskey - Keeper’s Heart Irish + America Whiskey. </li> <li>[05:49] - Number 23 Whiskey - Compass Box Oak Cross Blended Malt Scotch. </li> <li>[09:20] - Number 24 Whiskey - Knappogue Castle 12-Year-Old Bourbon Cask Matured Whisky. </li> <li>[15:26] - Chuck and Robbie’s favorite holiday treats. </li> <li>[18:45] - Holiday Trivia. </li> <li>[21:10] - The quantum computer that mimics real-world physics. </li> </ul> <p><strong>Quotes</strong></p> <p> [12:28] - “There’s something special about a 12-year-old single malt whiskey.

<p>Every developer has a tech stack that they swear by. The perfect stack is usually a combination of convenience and productivity.</p> <p> Robbie released a blog on Ship Shape featuring “Top 5 Web Developer Tools for 2023”. The list features a browser that’s perfect for work and personal use, two terminals, a collaborative clutter-free code editor, and a simplified version of Git. Even if you have old favorites, it can’t hurt to switch them up and test out some of the new tools powering the developer community. They’re usually faster and a lot easier than old-school tools.</p> <p> In this episode, Chuck and Robbie continue to talk about holiday trivia and the top five best web developer tools mentioned in the latest Ship Shape blog post. </p> <p><strong>Key Takeaways</strong></p> <ul> <li>[00:54] - Number 20 Whiskey - Starward Nova Single Malt Whisky. </li> <li>[04:32] - Number 21 Whiskey - Yellow Rose Distilling Outlaw Bourbon Whiskey. </li> <li>[07:17] - Holiday Trivia. </li> <li>[11:39] - Top five web developer tools. </li> </ul> <p><strong>Quotes</strong></p> <p> [19:35] - “You kinda get comfortable with your tools and set in your ways.

<p>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.</p> <p> 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.</p> <p> In this episode, Chuck and Robbie talk about Holiday Trivia and the major downside with algorithms in tech interviews.<br></p> <p><strong>Key Takeaways</strong></p> <ul> <li>[00:37] - Number 17 Whiskey: Writer’s Tears Copper Pot Irish Whiskey. </li> <li>[06:40] - Number 18 Whiskey: Lawes San Luis Valley Straight Rye. </li> <li>[10:44] - Number 19 Whiskey: Kurayoshi Pure Malt Whiskey. </li> <li>[13:54] - Holiday Trivia. </li> <li>[22:45] - Fixing a broken interview system. </li> </ul> <p><strong>Quotes</strong></p> <p> [18:44] - “I’m a passenger on this journey, and I want to have experiences in that journey.” ~ <a href="https://twitter.com/CharlesWthe3rd" target="_blank">Chuck Carpenter</a></p> <p> [26:28] - “You’re a JavaScript developer.

<p>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.</p> <p> 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. </p> <p> 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.<br></p> <p><strong>Key Takeaways</strong></p> <ul> <li>[01:11] - Number 15 Whiskey - Blackened Flagship. </li> <li>[04:47] - Number 16 Whiskey - Amrut Indian Single Malt Whiskey. </li> <li>[08:27] - The story of the Pearl Milling Company. </li> <li>[13:07] - Holiday Trivia. </li> <li>[17:40] - Best use case for YAML. </li> </ul> <p><strong>Quotes</strong></p> <p> [18:45] - “You think of CSV as a data structuring format, I think of JSON as a more data structuring format, and I think of YAML as an even more robust, diverse data structure format.” ~ <a href="https://twitter.com/CharlesWthe3rd" target="_blank">Chuck Carpenter</a></p> <p> [20:07] - “Programming languages are good at executing things, and I would think that YAML is not a programming language in the classic sense.” ~ <a href="https://twitter.com/RobbieTheWagner" target="_blank">Robbie Wagner</a></p> <p>Links</p> <ul> <li><a href="https://blackenedwhiskey.com/products/" target="_blank">Blackened Flagship Whiskey</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.metallica.com/" target="_blank">Metallica </a></li> <li><a href="https://www.amrutdistilleries.com/amrut-indian-single-malt-whisky.php" target="_blank">Amrut Indian Single Malt Whiskey</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.pearlmillingcompany.com/" target="_blank">The Pearl Milling Company</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.bensoriginal.com/" target="_blank">Ben’s Original Rice</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.costco.com/" target="_blank">Costco</a></li> <li><a href="https://yaml.org/" target="_blank">YAML</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.npmjs.com/" target="_blank">NPM</a></li> </ul> <p><strong>Connect with our hosts</strong></p> <ul> <li><a href="https://twitter.com/RobbieTheWagner" target="_blank">Robbie Wagner</a></li> <li><a href="https://twitter.com/CharlesWThe3rd" target="_blank">Chuck Carpenter</a></li> <li><a href="https://shipshape.io/" target="_blank">Ship Shape</a></li> </ul> <p><strong>Subscribe and stay in touch</strong></p> <ul> <li><a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/whiskey-web-and-whatnot/id1552776603" target="_blank">Apple Podcasts</a></li> <li><a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/19jiuHAqzeKnkleQUpZxDf" target="_blank">Spotify</a></li> <li><a href="https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy50cmFuc2lzdG9yLmZtL3doaXNrZXktd2ViLWFuZC13aGF0bm90" target="_blank">Google Podcasts</a></li> <li><a href="https://whiskeywebandwhatnot.fm/" target="_blank">Whiskey Web and Whatnot</a></li> </ul> <p><strong>Top-Tier, Full-Stack Software Consultants</strong></p> <p> This show is brought to you by Ship Shape.

<p>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? </p> <p> 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.</p> <p> 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. </p> <p><strong>Key Takeaways</strong></p> <ul> <li>[01:25] - Number 13 Whiskey: Noble Oak - Double Oak Rye Whiskey. </li> <li>[04:26] - Number 14 Whiskey: Akashi Japanese Blended Whiskey. </li> <li>[08:12] - Holiday Trivia. </li> <li>[14:05] - Predictions in the front-end frameworks space. </li> <li>[20:48] - 2022 World Cup standings and college football. </li> </ul> <p><strong>Quotes</strong></p> <p> [16:02] - “I think the things that are exciting are rendering frameworks.

<p>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. </p> <p> 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 platform has all the components for success, but it still isn’t heavily adopted in the open-source community.</p> <p> In this episode, Chuck and Robbie talk about their experience using ChatGPT to generate topics for the podcast, what’s holding back GitLab in the open-source community, and their favorite holiday trivia. </p> <p><strong>Key Takeaways</strong></p> <ul> <li>[00:37] - Number 11 Whiskey: Walsh Whiskey - The Irishman Single Malt. </li> <li>[02:58] - Number 12 Whiskey: Balcones - Linage Texas Single Malt Whisky. </li> <li>[07:30] - Asking ChatGPT to generate podcast topics. </li> <li>[09:52] - Factors hindering GitLab in the open source community. </li> <li>[20:18] - Holiday Trivia. </li> </ul> <p><strong>Quotes</strong></p> <p> [10:15] - “GitLab is a pretty holistic product in terms of not just hosting Git repositories.

<p>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.</p> <p> 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.</p> <p> 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. </p> <p><strong>Key Takeaways</strong></p> <ul> <li>[00:41] - Number Six Whiskey: Mars Shinshu Iwai 45% Japanese Blended Whisky. </li> <li>[06:12] - Numer Seven Whiskey: J.

<p>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. </p> <p> 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.</p> <p> 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. </p> <p><strong>Key Takeaways</strong></p> <ul> <li>[00:41] - Flaviar's "Depths of Whiskey" Advent Calendar App. </li> <li>[03:23] - Number Three Whiskey - Chapter 7 Whiskey: Prologue Blended Scotch Malt. </li> <li>[05:37] - Number Four Whiskey - Kamet Indian Single Malt Whisky. </li> <li>[10:16] - Number Five Whiskey - Redemption Rye Whiskey. </li> <li>[15:20] - JavaScript features from the State of JS. </li> <li>[19:38] - Microsoft hot takes. </li> </ul> <p><strong>Quotes</strong></p> <p> [17:30] - “If there’s a thing that you don’t want to mutate, don’t mutate it.

<p>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?</p> <p> 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.</p> <p> 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. </p> <p><strong>Key Takeaways</strong></p> <ul> <li>[00:30] - An intro to Josh Collinsworth. </li> <li>[03:46] - A whiskey review - Wolves Whiskey X Willet Distillery The Rye Project Volume One Batch Two. </li> <li>[13:00] - Why Josh thinks React’s popularity is just a self-sustaining cycle. </li> <li>[39:03] - Josh’s favorite fonts. </li> <li>[45:00] - Josh speaks about how he maintains his hobbies being a father. </li> <li>[53:34] - How Shopify acquiring Remix has affected Josh. </li> </ul> <p><strong>Quotes</strong></p> <p> [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.” ~ <a href="https://joshcollinsworth.com/" target="_blank">Josh Collinsworth</a></p> <p> [19:51] - “I think a lot of people don't realize that it hasn't aged that well.

<p>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? </p><p>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.</p> <p>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.</p> <p><strong>Key Takeaways</strong></p> <ul> <li>[02:13] - A whiskey review - Barrell Seagrass. </li> <li>[10:53] - What developers are saying on Twitter about frameworks. </li> <li>[28:20] - How the tech world benefits from framework and browser wars. </li> <li>[30:18] - Chuck and Robbie discuss the layoffs happening in tech. </li> <li>[36:41] - The power of AWS in web hosting. </li> <li>[42:03] - Robbie’s Starlink experience. </li> <li>[46:56] - Robbie talks about his new Bronco and selling his Scout. </li> <li>[53:10] - Shows Chuck and Robbie are currently watching. </li> </ul> <p><strong>Quotes</strong></p> <p> [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.” ~ <a href="https://twitter.com/RobbieTheWagner" target="_blank">Robbie Wagner</a></p> <p> [33:52] - “Eight dollars for a Starbucks drink, enjoy it for 30 minutes, very happy.

<p>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.</p> <p>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.</p> <p>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.</p> <p>Key Takeaways</p> <ul> <li>[00:35] - An intro to Amber Hinds.</li> <li>[00:54] - A whiskey review - Weller Special Reserve.</li> <li>[07:49] - What it's like working with WordPress in 2022 compared to earlier years.</li> <li>[10:47] - Amber gives an overview of WordPress.</li> <li>[13:36] - Amber explains unique accessibility problems in WordPress.</li> <li>[15:47] - How Equalize Digital's plug-in audits WordPress sites.</li> <li>[21:55] - Amber's thoughts on how to make accessibility a priority.</li> <li>[35:33] - Chuck and Amber talk about RV life and being on the show, "Going RV".</li> </ul> <p>Quotes</p> <p>[08:43] - "I think the recent number that I saw was that 43% of websites are built in WordPress." ~ Amber Hinds [https://www.linkedin.com/in/amberhinds/]</p> <p>[23:53] - "I feel like having more general visibility about the broad range of disabilities and also putting people's faces to things is super helpful." ~ Amber Hinds [https://www.linkedin.com/in/amberhinds/]</p> <p>[28:33] - "Companies need to realize that accessibility is everyone's responsibility." ~ Amber Hinds [https://www.linkedin.com/in/amberhinds/]</p> <p>Links</p> <ul> <li>Amber Hinds LinkedIn [https://www.linkedin.com/in/amberhinds/]</li> <li>Amber Hinds Twitter [https://mobile.twitter.com/heyamberhinds]</li> <li>Amber Hinds [https://amberhinds.com/]</li> <li>Equalize Digital [https://equalizedigital.com/]</li> <li>WordPress [https://wordpress.com/]</li> <li>Accessibility Checker [https://www.accessibilitychecker.org/]</li> <li>Weller Special Reserve [https://www.buffalotracedistillery.com/our-brands/w-l-weller/w-l-weller-special-reserve.html]</li> <li>Pappy Van Winkle [https://www.buffalotracedistillery.com/our-brands/van-winkle.html]</li> <li>Maker's Mark [https://www.makersmark.com/]</li> <li>Buffalo Trace Distillery [https://www.buffalotracedistillery.com/]</li> <li>React [https://reactjs.org/]</li> <li>Absolut Vodka [https://www.absolut.com/]</li> <li>Shopify [https://www.shopify.com/]</li> <li>Square Space [https://www.squarespace.com/]</li> <li>Drupal [https://www.drupal.org/]</li> <li>Matt Mullenweg [https://ma.tt/]</li> <li>Automattic [https://automattic.com/]</li> <li>Magic Mouse [https://www.apple.com/shop/product/MK2E3AM/A/magic-mouse-white-multi-touch-surface]</li> <li>Logitech Lift [https://www.logitech.com/en-us/products/mice/lift-vertical-ergonomic-mouse.html]</li> <li>Mac [https://www.apple.com/lae/mac/]</li> <li>Darci USB [https://www.specialneedscomputers.ca/index.php?l=product_detail&p=4948]</li> </ul>

<p>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.</p> <p>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.</p> <p>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.</p> <p>Key Takeaways</p> <ul> <li>[00:21] - An introduction to Max Howell.</li> <li>[01:15] - A whiskey review - American Highway Reserve Bourbon.</li> <li>[07:18] - Max's new project, tea.inc.</li> <li>[26:21] - Max speaks about England.</li> <li>[32:12] - Max discusses his U.S. journey.</li> <li>[33:28] - Why Google turned down Max.</li> </ul> <p>Quotes</p> <p>[08:15] - "I look back on the iPhone as the pivotal moment, really, when development suddenly became cool." ~ Max Howell [https://www.linkedin.com/in/mxcl]</p> <p>[13:27]- "I had a moment of inspiration where I could see how the open source ecosystem, with all its dependencies and all these packages could be similarly compensated." ~ Max Howell [https://www.linkedin.com/in/mxcl]</p> <p>[22:50] - "The bottom fell out of the boot camp market because it was a bit of a scam in some ways.

<p>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.</p> <p>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. </p> <p>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. </p> <p>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.</p> <p>Key Takeaways</p> <ul> <li>[02:10] - A whiskey review - Wolves Signature Blend Special Release.</li> <li>[08:02] - Chuck and Robbie discuss multi-page apps.</li> <li>[13:46] - Advantages and disadvantages of multi-page apps.</li> <li>[27:13] - Robbie's opinion on the React Framework. </li> <li>[35:47] - Chuck and Robbie reminisce about StumbleUpon and earlier social media sites.</li> <li>[41:52] - Chuck and Robbie discuss their parents' internet use.</li> <li>[44:30] - Chuck and Robbie talk about their weekend.</li> </ul> <p>Quotes</p> <p>[8:15] - "Were you around in 1998 when the Internet was first blowing up?

<p>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.</p> <p>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. </p> <p>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.</p> <p>Key Takeaways</p> <ul> <li>[00:35] - An introduction to Adam Wathan.</li> <li>[01:55] - A whiskey review - W3WC Sagamore Rye Barrel Pick #001.</li> <li>[06:51] - Adam explains Tailwind CSS.</li> <li>[09:47] - The problems that inspired Adam to create Tailwind.</li> <li>[35:24] - How Headless UI fits into Tailwind.</li> <li>[41:09] - Whether Tailwind will support other frameworks in the future.</li> <li>[44:33] - Adam's powerlifting career.</li> </ul> <p>Quotes</p> <p>[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]</p> <p>[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]</p> <p>[24:10] - "To me, Tailwind is basically inline styles with a bunch of extra power bolted on." ~ Adam Wathan [https://twitter.com/adamwathan]</p> <p>Links</p> <ul> <li>Adam Wathan [https://adamwathan.me/]</li> <li>Adam Wathan Twitter [https://twitter.com/adamwathan]</li> <li>Adam Wathan LinkedIn [https://www.linkedin.com/in/adam-wathan-9418984a/?originalSubdomain=ca]</li> <li>Tailwind CSS [https://tailwindcss.com/]</li> <li>Tailwind UI [https://tailwindui.com/]</li> <li>Discord [https://discord.com/]</li> <li>CSS Zen Garden [http://www.csszengarden.com/]</li> <li>Nicolas Gallagher [https://nicolasgallagher.com/]</li> <li>Normalize CSS [https://necolas.github.io/normalize.css/]</li> <li>Bootstrap [https://getbootstrap.com/]</li> <li>Laravel [https://laravel.com/]</li> <li>Vue [https://vuejs.org/]</li> <li>React [https://reactjs.org/]</li> <li>Riverside [https://www.npmjs.com/~riverside]</li> <li>Chrome [https://www.google.com/chrome/]</li> <li>Stimulus [https://stimulus.hotwired.dev/reference/css-classes]</li> <li>Twitter [https://twitter.com/?lang=en]</li> <li>Select2 [https://select2.org/]</li> <li>BEM [https://getbem.com/]</li> <li>Atomic CSS [https://acss.io/]</li> <li>Markdown [https://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/syntax]</li> <li>Headless UI [https://headlessui.com/]</li> <li>Select2 [https://select2.org/]</li> <li>Svelte [https://svelte.dev/]</li> <li>Caleb Porzio [https://calebporzio.com/]</li> <li>Alpine JS [https://alpinejs.dev/]</li> <li>Solid JS [https://www.solidjs.com/]</li> </ul>

<p>There's a lot to consider before committing to a framework to build a native app. If you choose to build in native, ask yourself whether you're prepared to handle the downsides that come with it. </p> <p>To start, you're limited to one framework and writing in one programming language. If you're not familiar with the syntax, that could pose a major learning curve. With native apps, it's tempting to have a separate app for every device that a user might run your app on, but on the operations front, that's a slippery slope with high overhead costs. If you're on a tight budget or working on small teams like Chuck and Robbie, the cost of paying developers to maintain a bunch of apps isn't appealing. There's no shame in knowing your resource limitations and taking the easy route. </p> <p>In this episode, Chuck and Robbie talk about the trade-off between building native apps in Swift, Objective-C, React Native, and other web technologies, why they enjoy progressive web apps, and Disney's monopoly in media. </p> <p>Key Takeaways</p> <ul> <li>[02:21] - A whiskey Review - Four Roses Small Batch Select.</li> <li>[11:11] - Chuck and Robbie discuss building apps in different frameworks.</li> <li>[22:58] - Chuck and Robbie talk about progressive web apps.</li> <li>[34:54] - TV Shows Chuck and Robbie are currently watching.</li> <li>[51:46] - Chuck and Robbie's Halloween plans.</li> </ul> <p>Quotes</p> <p>[03:16] - "It's crazy how no one has money because of the recession, and yet everything that you could possibly buy is super expensive and sold out all the time.

<p>Every once in a while a new framework rises to popularity and gets the developer community buzzing. One of the frameworks with the most momentum right now is SolidJS. But what makes Solid so special?</p> <p>Dan Jutan, Product Manager at Astro, Inc. and SolidJS core team member believes the frameworks that prioritize developer experience will always come out on top. Before he landed at Solid, Dan started his career using Vue 3. It didn't take long before he was overwhelmed by the API surface and was searching for a framework that aligned with his values as a developer. Solid has a reputation as one of the fastest frameworks and also combines features from frameworks like React and Vue without any of the issues that bog them down.</p> <p>In this episode, Dan talks to Chuck and Robbie about his journey exploring different frameworks early in his career, why the developer community loves SolidJS, and the connection between being a programmer and a musician.</p> <p>Key Takeaways</p> <ul> <li>[00:59] - An intro to Dan.</li> <li>[02:55] - A whiskey review - Frey Ranch Bourban.</li> <li>[09:01] - Dan explains Solid.</li> <li>[14:27] - Why Dan prefers Solid over other frameworks.</li> <li>[20:47] - Specific use cases for Solid.</li> <li>[28:07] - How Dan connected Chuck and Robbie with Astro on Twitter.</li> <li>[45:25] - Dan speaks about his music and Taylor Swift.</li> </ul> <p>Quotes</p> <p>[10:00] - "The special thing about Solid is that it combines something you might be used to from React, which is these functional JSX components, with something you might be used to in Vue 3 or even older frameworks." ~ Dan Jutan [https://www.linkedin.com/in/dan-jutan-5bb78222b/]</p> <p>[14:00] - "With Solid I was just like, oh this simple thing from React without the annoying part of React.

<p>The beauty of tech is that it keeps evolving. As a developer, it's important to keep evolving too. Whether that's trying new frameworks, starting side projects, or adopting emerging tech.</p> <p>JavaScript, for example, has taken on a whole new purpose since it was developed in the 90s to support a web browser. The language keeps developers like Robbie intrigued with features that seem underpromoted and underused by the community. At ShipShape, Chuck and Robbie are always experimenting. They're embracing Astro with plans to transition their website from Nuxt, developing a scheduling app, and most importantly they just launched the Whiskey Web and Whatnot NFT.</p> <p>In this episode, Chuck and Robbie talk about underrated JavaScript features, where to find the Whiskey Web and Whatnot NFT, and why Robbie can't decide on a new car.</p> <p>Key Takeaways</p> <ul> <li>[01:22] - Chuck and Robbie introduce their NFT.</li> <li>[04:11] - A whiskey review - Starlight Distillery Single Barrel Hubbard's Original Rick House of Indiana Straight Rye Whiskey.</li> <li>[09:35] - The difference between Maps and Sets in JavaScript.</li> <li>[22:52] - Chuck and Robbie discuss a scheduling app they're developing.</li> <li>[36:10] - Chuck and Robbie critique Solid, Astro, and React.</li> <li>[44:02] - Robbie whatnots about Ciroc Vodka.</li> <li>[45:13] - Chuck and Robbie discuss streaming services, TV shows, and Ryan Reynolds.</li> <li>[52:45] - What Robbie thinks about different trucks.</li> </ul> <p>Quotes</p> <p>[22:58] - "Internally, we're known for some technologies, but we're always experimenting with different things coming up as much as we can." ~ Chuck Carpenter [https://twitter.com/CharlesWthe3rd]</p> <p>[39:42] - "So the cool thing about Astro is they have support for a lot of different types of frameworks like Vue, Preact, React, and Svelte.

<p>We all have at least one friend who somehow finds enough hours in a day to have a full-time job and take on several side projects. How can you successfully juggle a career, side hustles, and make time for your passions? </p> <p> Kelly Vaughn, Engineering Manager at Spot AI, has some thoughts. She is leading a diverse, fully remote, global team that spans from California to India. Kelly keeps her management style flexible to account for the quirks and personality types of her team. When she's not steering the ship at Spot AI, she's advising several startups and working as a consultant. Despite doing it all, she finds time for reading, cycling, and her passion for Porsches. </p> <p> In this episode, Kelly talks to Chuck and Robbie about her experience leading diverse global engineering teams from agencies to SaaS companies, juggling several side hustles, and collecting Porsches. </p> <p><strong>Key Takeaways</strong></p> <ul> <li> [01:22] - An intro to Kelly Vaughn. </li> <li> [02:16] - A whiskey review - Barrell Craft Spirits Grey Label Dovetail 15. </li> <li> [09:07] - Kelly's current roles at Spot AI and her projects. </li> <li> [12:23] - The difference between leading teams in an agency versus in a corporate environment. </li> <li> [19:26] - What are the challenges of managing an international team? </li> <li> [22:26] - What's Kelly's favorite leadership book? </li> <li> [26:40] - Kelly speaks about her love of the Porsche Brand. </li> <li> [44:25] - Kelly talks about her cycling challenge for childhood cancer research. </li> </ul> <p>Quotes</p> <p>[13:37] - "The speed at which you work at an agency versus a SaaS company is vastly different because of the way that you're working.

<p>Accessibility is like learning a new language, leaving many developers wondering where to start. The answer is pretty simple, start anywhere. But the onus isn’t all on devs.</p> <p> Crystal Preston-Watson has partial sight and uses a screen reader in her day-to-day as a Senior Digital Accessibility Analyst at Salesforce, one of the largest tech companies in the world. As strange as it may seem, she never used a screen reader until she was asked to test one out in her previous role as a quality engineer. Once she got her hands on one, she saw just how much businesses excluded people with disabilities from their target audience.</p> <p> Crystal knows first-hand how quickly the expenses rack up when the burden of accessibility is placed on people with disabilities. In her talks, she addresses this and other lessons on accessibility with a bit of humor to make the conversation more approachable and beginner-friendly.</p> <p> In this episode, Chuck and Robbie talk with Crystal about pitching accessibility to higher-ups, the actual cost of accessibility, and her love for comedy and improv. </p> <p><strong>Key Takeaways</strong></p> <ul> <li>[01:31] - An intro to Crystal Preston-Watson. </li> <li>[02:51] - A whiskey review - Johnny Drum Private Stock. </li> <li>[08:51] - Crystal explains accessibility. </li> <li>[11:08] - How to pitch accessibility to company leadership. </li> <li>[20:42] - Crystal’s guide to setting accessibility targets within a company. </li> <li>[30:24] - Crystal explains the cost and some of the challenges of being disabled. </li> <li>[40:41] - Crystal talks about her love for video games. </li> <li>[45:05] - Crystal talks about her love for improv. </li> </ul> <p><strong>Quotes</strong></p> <p> [17:07] - “Accessibility is everyone's concern. There are some really specific things that only a developer or tester or content creator can do, but at the end of the day, it's a very holistic thing, and everyone needs to be concerned about it.” ~ <a href="https://twitter.com/ScopicEngineer" target="_blank">Crystal Preston-Watson</a></p> <p> [21:33] -<strong> “</strong>If you have users that can't use your application, that is money wasted. And that's the thing, disabled people have money, and if they can't use your product then they're going to take that money somewhere else unless it is something that is very vital.” ~ <a href="https://twitter.com/ScopicEngineer" target="_blank">Crystal Preston-Watson</a></p> <p> [24:11] - “Everyone will use a mouse if they're not blind and visually impaired and that's just not true.” ~ <a href="https://twitter.com/ScopicEngineer" target="_blank">Crystal Preston-Watson</a></p> <p><br></p> <p><strong>Links</strong></p> <ul> <li><a href="https://crystalprestonwatson.com/" target="_blank">Crystal Preston-Watson</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/crystalprestonwatson/" target="_blank">Crystal Preston-Watson LinkedIn</a></li> <li><a href="https://twitter.com/ScopicEngineer" target="_blank">Crystal Preston-Watson Twitter</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.kentuckybourbonwhiskey.com/the-whiskeys/johnny-drum-private-stock/" target="_blank">Johnny Drum Private Stock</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.salesforce.com/" target="_blank">Salesforce</a></li> <li><a href="https://music.apple.com/us/album/wap-feat-megan-thee-stallion-single/1526746983" target="_blank">Cardi B Wap</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0472954/" target="_blank">It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.freedomscientific.com/products/software/jaws/" target="_blank">Jaws Screen Reader</a></li> <li><a href="https://reactjs.org/" target="_blank">React</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.ssa.gov/" target="_blank">Social Security Administration</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.apple.com/lae/mac/" target="_blank">MacBook</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.nvaccess.org/" target="_blank">NVDA</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.sketch.com/" target="_blank">Sketch</a></li> <li><a href="https://code.visualstudio.com/" targe

<p>The best way to win over a developer is to make their job simpler. The release of Nuxt 3 promises an even better developer experience than its former versions. That’s music to every developer’s ears. Who doesn’t want faster rendering?</p> <p> Daniel Roe, framework architect at Nuxt Labs has been working to get Nuxt 3 production ready for a stable release. In addition to DX improvements, once N3 is out of release, you can expect hybrid rendering, less JavaScript, and a cross-platform framework that can be used with pretty much any cloud service.</p> <p> This Nuxt release is casting a wide net. Daniel and the team wanted the framework to be suited for everyone from hobby bloggers to enterprises. But the biggest win might be for e-commerce sites that need speed, performance, and personalization. </p> <p> In this episode, Chuck and Robbie talk to Daniel about the features of Nuxt 3, improving the developer experience, and his family vacation to Algarve, Portugal. </p> <p><strong>Key Takeaways</strong></p> <ul> <li>[00:38] - An introduction to Daniel Roe. </li> <li>[03:29] - A whiskey review - Laphroig Lore. </li> <li>[11:20] - The new features in Nuxt 3. </li> <li>[19:16] - The best path to convert projects to Nuxt 3. </li> <li>[32:47] - The target audience for Nuxt 2 and Nuxt 3. </li> <li>[45:31] - Daniel’s holiday in Portugal . </li> <li>[51:49] - David’s side project in Magic Regexp. </li> </ul> <p><strong>Quotes</strong></p> <p> [12:21] - “Some of the things that Nuxt 3 brings, well, it's been rewritten from the start, so it's given us an opportunity to do what we really wanted to do with Nuxt. And to learn from some of the mistakes we made for Nuxt 2 and adapt Nuxt for a new world. That sounds a bit crap, but more and more I think we're looking to take advantage of different kinds of hardware for rendering HTML.” ~ <a href="https://twitter.com/danielcroe?lang=en" target="_blank">@danielcroe</a></p> <p> [13:18] - “Nuxt 2, out of the box, is a bare minimum package. I did some checking on this. The cold start for the server was 300 milliseconds. With Nuxt 3, it is three milliseconds.” ~ <a href="https://twitter.com/danielcroe" target="_blank">@danielcroe</a></p> <p> [38:48] - “I always like using suppliers that win me over because they have the best of whatever it is. They're able to meet my needs. Whether that's experience or price point or whatever it is. But they've won me over. I don't have to stay with them. I'm not forced or coerced into it. I didn't make an early choice, and now I'm reaping the whirlwind and having to pay the price for it. I'm with them because I want to be. That's the best scenario. You have the power to choose. You're choosing the platform you feel is the best.“ ~ <a href="https://twitter.com/danielcroe" target="_blank">@danielcroe</a></p> <p><br></p> <p><strong>Links</strong></p> <ul> <li><a href="https://uk.linkedin.com/in/daniel-roe?original_referer=" target="_blank">Daniel Roe LinkedIn</a></li> <li><a href="https://twitter.com/danielcroe?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor" target="_blank">Daniel Roe Twitter</a></li> <li><a href="https://nuxtjs.org/" target="_blank">Nuxt</a></li> <li><a href="https://vuejs.org/" target="_blank">Vue</a></li> <li><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Bryson" target="_blank">Bill Bryson</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.durham.ac.uk/homepage/" target="_blank">Durham University</a></li> <li><a href="https://libguides.durham.ac.uk/friendly.php?s=Libraries/billbryson" target="_blank">Bill Bryson Library</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.laphroaig.com/en/lore" target="_blank">Laphroig Lore</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.laphroaig.com/en/" target="_blank">Laphroig</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.pringles.com/us/home.html" target="_blank">Pringles</a></li> <li><a href="https://vitejs.dev/" target="_blank">Vite</a></li> <li><a href="https://webpack.js.org/" target="_blank">Webpack</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.typescriptlang.org/" target="_blank">TypeScript</a></li> <li><a href="https://reactj

<p>Devs have a lot on their plate, but the key is to find time for what's important. Championing accessibility is only possible if devs prioritize it and a good place to start is by knowing your HTML elements. If dogs can learn 50 human words, then devs can learn 50 HTML elements.</p> <p>On another note, not all package managers are made equal. Robbie has been loyal to Yarn for years and is okay with waiting a few minutes for installs. But from Chuck's operations perspective, when you're talking about continuous integration that can eat up a huge chunk of your day, it might be time to look for something that promises speed.</p> <p>In this episode, Chuck and Robbie talk about the importance of knowing your HTML elements, the pros and cons of different package managers, and the Whiskey Web and Whatnot NFT drop.</p> <p>Key Takeaways</p> <ul> <li>[02:09] - Why Chuck and Robbie struggle to find time for reading.</li> <li>[04:43] - A whiskey review - Huling Station.</li> <li>[12:27] - How many HTML elements can Chuck and Robbie name.</li> <li>[26:25] - How to choose the right package manager.</li> <li>[41:27] - Chuck and Robbie's eventful trips.</li> <li>[56:14] - Whiskey Web and Whatnot's NFT drop.</li> </ul> <p> </p> <p>Quotes</p> <p>[03:32] - "You can fit in anything that you prioritize, right? If you said working out is the same as eating, it has to be done. You would find time." ~ @rwwagner90 [https://twitter.com/rwwagner90]</p> <p>[26:38] - "I think HTML is real, and it hasn't been the first-class citizen that it deserves in terms of the Internet itself, whose intention was to distribute documents and have that accessible across schools and scientific organizations and whatever else. So let's not forget what it was all about, especially if you have a content site. Give your content first-class citizenship." ~ @CharlesWthe3rd [https://twitter.com/CharlesWthe3rd]</p> <p>[27:32] - "NPM is the leader in the JavaScript world, although it has its proponents and opponents. Many people have jumped over to Yarn for some of its benefits over a period of time, and some of its features influenced NPM and bring people back and forth a little bit." ~ @CharlesWthe3rd [https://twitter.com/CharlesWthe3rd]</p> <p>Links</p> <ul> <li>Charlie Gerard [https://charliegerard.dev/]</li> <li>Java Script [https://www.javascript.com/]</li> <li>Huling Station [https://olddominick.com/spirits/huling-station-bourbon-whiskey/]</li> <li>National Geographic [https://www.nationalgeographic.com/]</li> <li>Siri [https://www.apple.com/siri/]</li> <li>Waze [https://www.waze.com/live-map/]</li> <li>Old Domonic's [https://olddominick.com/]</li> <li>Justin Timberlake [https://justintimberlake.com/]</li> <li>Seelbach's [https://seelbachs.com/]</li> <li>Nuxt [https://nuxtjs.org/]</li> <li>JSX [https://reactjs.org/docs/introducing-jsx.html]</li> <li>React [https://reactjs.org/]</li> <li>NPM [https://www.npmjs.com/]</li> <li>Yarn [https://yarnpkg.com/]</li> <li>Github [https://github.com/]</li> <li>Ember [https://emberjs.com/]</li> <li>jQuery [https://jquery.com/]</li> <li>Vercel [https://vercel.com/]</li> <li>JSON [https://www.json.org/json-en.html]</li> <li>Bun [https://bun.sh/]</li> <li>Supabase [https://supabase.com/]</li> <li>Firebase [https://firebase.google.com/]</li> <li>Redwood [https://redwoodjs.com/]</li> <li>Postgres [https://www.postgresql.org/]</li> <li>DirecTV [https://www.directv.com/]</li> <li>Ron Burgundy [https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0357413/]</li> <li>Sea World [https://seaworld.com/]</li> </ul>
