On this episode, we talk with Andris Ševčenko, the Lead Special Ops Engineer @ Pixel & Tonic about what it’s like to craft the underlying APIs that thousands of developers will be leveraging.

August 03, 2020Development & the Philosophy of Stoicism
On this episode, we have Sam Hernandez from Precocity LLC on to talk to us about how the centuries old philosophy of Stocism applies to development, and to our lives.

Stocism is a philosophy designed to make us more resilient, happier, more virtuous and more wise–and as a result, better people, better parents and better professionals.

Sam talks to us about how we can use the philosophy to improve our lives, and improve our jobs as developers.

Never fret over the tabs vs. spaces argument ever again!

July 20, 2020From Primary School Teacher to React Dev to Tailwind Labs
On this episode we talk to Simon Vrachliotis aka “SimonSwiss” from Tailwind Labs about his wild journey being a primary school teacher in the Swiss alps to surfing the waves in Sydney, Australia as a React developer at Thinkmill and then on to being employee #2 at Tailwind Labs.

We unwind the fascinating tale of how Simon made the transition from teacher to web developer, including excursions into Theme Forest, utility-first CSS like Tachyons & Tailwind CSS, and developing using Craft CMS.

Simon mentions what he thinks are the keys to success in topics as varied as giving presentations to furthering your career, publishing content in blogs & on YourTube.

…and he also drops the bomb and announces his newest role, and the latest leg of his journey: going full circle and joining Tailwind Labs!

Hosted by Matt Stein, on this episode we talk to Andrew Welch from nystudio107, Nevin Lyne from Arcus Tech, and Brad Bell from Pixel & Tonic.

The discussion centers around a recent critical Server Site Template Injection (SSTI) & Remote Code Execution (RCE) exploit in the SEOmatic plugin for Craft CMS.

We discuss a timeline of what transpired, and walk through the discovery process as in the wild exploits were found.

We also talk about whether you should be concerned, and update to the patched SEOmatic 3.3.0 or later (spoiler: you should, and you should).

We also go into steps that Pixel & Tonic, plugin developers, and frontend developers producing sites can take to mitigate security vulnerabilities.

On this episode, Eve Porcello, Lead Instructor at Moon Highway, gives us a gentle introduction to GraphQL.

If you’re heard of GraphQL but aren’t quite sure what the benefits are over a REST API, this is the episode for you!

We talk about when you’d use GraphQL, and what benefits it brings to the table over other ways of getting data from an endpoint.

June 15, 2020Amezmo cloud hosting and deployment for PHP
On this episode we talk to Ryan McCullagh, founder of the PHP hosting and deployment platform Amezmo.

We talk about how Amezmo differs from other offerings like Forge, in that it has integrated deployments (similar to Envoyer) and also takes care of the VPS part of the equation for you.

We discuss how Amezmo is targeted at freelancers & agencies who are skilled at building websites, but don’t want to deal with the devops side of the equation.

Turn in to learn why Ryan says “Amezmo is the Netlify for PHP applications.”

June 01, 2020Building React Native apps with Expo
On this episode, Evan “Lord of Open Source” Bacon from Expo.io is on to talk to us about building React Native apps in Expo.

Joined again by Paulo Ellias, we discuss exactly what the relationship between React, React Native, and Expo is, and how they all work together to bring the “write once, run everywhere” dream to life.

We talk about how some real-world projects would benefit from the unified codebase that Expo brings to the table, allowing you to produce iOS, Android, and web versions of the app.

Finally, we get down and dirty talking about how your web developer superpowers can extend into building native apps, and how it all works under the hood.

May 18, 2020Using Stitches CSS in JS to Improve on Tailwind CSS
On this episode, we talk to Christian Alfoni & Fabrice Weinberg about their brand new Tailwind CSS inspired CSS in JS baby, Stitches!

Christian & Fabrice talk about the advantages that CSS in JS offers, allowing you to get automatic Critical CSS, have narrowly scoped styles, and skip the Purge CSS step found in more traditional approaches.

We discuss how they decided to abandon their Classy UI project in favor of Stitches, and how this new TypeScript-driven approach to design system tokens allows them to deliver the developer experience in spades.

May 05, 2020Boost Your Local Development with Craft Nitro
On this episode, we have Jason McCallister and Brad Bell from Pixel & Tonic on to talk about their new Craft Nitro product for local PHP development.

Nitro is a lightweight local dev environment that leverages Canonical’s Multipass technology that gives you the benefits you want from a VM, but without the heaviness you don’t.

We talk about how Jason spearheaded the development of Craft Nitro, to make it into something that has strikes a balance between zero config and flexibility.

Craft Nitro was designed for Craft CMS projects, but provides a great local dev experience for anything that needs a PHP stack, such as Laravel.
