One of the key challenges that teams encounter is how to smoothly collaborate on converting a design into code. For example, if a designer designs a web component, how can it be most efficiently implemented by a developer? What happens if the designer needs to adjust the design and communicate this change to the developer?

Frontend web frameworks are software toolkits that handle many of the low-level and repetitive aspects of building a website. These frameworks have made it easier than ever to build a modern website. The open-source Astro framework was created in 2021 for the purpose of creating simple static sites that load quickly. A key factor to

 Documentation is something that everyone knows is important but it’s often difficult to get right. On software teams, good documentation can help to onboard new people, improve communication across teams, and troubleshoot technical issues. When an application, API, or library is a commercial product, the quality of its documentation can determine whether it attracts

Serverless backend platforms are cloud services that simplify the process of building a backend. These platforms are growing rapidly in popularity because they can greatly accelerate application development, and improve the developer experience. Convex is a real-time backend platform that uses 100% TypeScript and is designed with reactive UI frameworks in mind. The team behind

Tom Preston-Werner is a renowned software developer, inventor and entrepreneur.

Remix is a full stack web framework that lets you focus on the user interface and work back through web fundamentals to deliver a fast, slick, and resilient user experience that deploys to any Node.js server and even non-Node.js environments at the edge like Cloudflare Workers. In this episode, we interviewed Ryan Florence, co-founder at

Convex makes storing your application’s data as easy as using React state management. If you can use React hooks, you can also manage your backend data using Convex. James Cowling is a former Dropbox infrastructure engineer turned startup founder. James joins the show to discuss how Convex offers a simpler full-stack developer experience than the

Highlight is a tool that helps teams reproduce end-to-end user sessions to troubleshoot their applications faster, more efficiently, and with all the context they need. With Highlight, engineering teams can replay errors with high precision, which includes complete session replay, outgoing network requests, dense stack traces and insight into the app’s state management system.

When you visit a web page, the creator’s intent is to present you a seamless experience that fills your browser window.  That web page or web application is generally divided up in some meaningful way across navigation elements, content, ads, header, footer, and other components. Those components may represent the work of independent teams.  Typically

The React Framework has seen continuous growth of adoption since its launch.  There are many reasons for that, but one reason is how relatively painless it is to use `react-create-app` or copy some boilerplate code and have a functioning, hot reloading, live demo up and running in minutes.  There is, however, a long way to

According to builtwith.com, more than 10 million websites are powered by React framework.  Of the top 10k sites by traffic, 44.7% of those are built with React.  This javascript framework is capable of powering a wide array of modern applications and remains fairly beloved by developers that use it. In this episode, I interview Kent

As our guest today points out, most enterprise software applications are essentially forms for collecting data.  The

tag and related components started appearing in HTML fairly early and those same concepts are still in use with modern web browsers.  However, the technology for capturing state, validating input, and providing other common services for the

As developers hone their craft, becoming more productive often means learning utilities and tools at the command line.  The right combination of various parsing commands chained together through pipes can enable engineers to quickly and efficiently automate many adhoc data processing tasks. In this episode I speak with Adam Gordon Bell about some of his

“In October 1958, Physicist William Higinbotham created what is thought to be the first video game. It was a very simple tennis game, similar to the classic 1970s video game Pong, and it was quite a hit at a Brookhaven National Laboratory open house” (aps.org). 63 years have passed, and video games are prolific. The

Flutter is a UI toolkit developed by Google that helps developers build natively compiled applications for mobile, web, desktop, and embedded devices from a single code base. Development is fast because the screen “hot reloads” as you develop, the architecture is layered for fast and expressive designs, and its widgets incorporate all critical platform differences

The typical procedure many companies follow to reach production-level code is design the program, code and test it in different environments, and put it in a pipeline to deploy to production. Developers can make it pretty far into building their core features before inevitably breaking to include enterprise features and security standards like Single Sign

WordPress is a free and open-source content management system, or CMS, written in PHP. Since its release in 2003, WordPress has become ubiquitous on the web. It is estimated that roughly 60 million websites use WordPress as a CMS. However, despite its popularity, WordPress has limitations in its design. WordPress sites are dynamic, and the

Rust and Golang are two of the newest lower level languages for doing systems programming. They are often used for applications such as file systems, operating systems, and latency-sensitive applications. How do they compare in terms of safety, speed, and programming ergonomics?
