Summary
We discuss the journey of becoming a notable developer, the importance of intentional networking, and the role of content creation in building a professional presence. Dev shares insights from his experiences in DevRel, the challenges of the industry, and the significance of event sourcing in modern applications.
We then discuss the intricacies of event sourcing, exploring its implications for software architecture, performance, and testing. The discussion highlights the importance of projections, caching, and the separation of command and query responsibilities (CQRS) in building efficient applications. Real-world applications, such as Git and Redux, are examined as examples of event sourcing in practice.
Finally, we explore Solid.js and its comparison with React, focusing on fine-grained reactivity, the challenges of adopting new frameworks, and the evolution of web development practices. They explore the unique features of Solid.js, including its compiler and async signals, while discussing the broader implications for developers transitioning between frameworks. The conversation also touches on the importance of full stack development and the mindset required to excel in the field.
