April 06, 2020Alpine.js is like Tailwind CSS for JavaScript
On this episode we have the author of Alpine.js, Caleb Porzio, on to discuss his very lightweight JavaScript library that just might be exactly what you need.

We talk about whether the world really needs another JavaScript library, and how Alpine was born out of Caleb’s experience of using Vue.js extensively for years in building application. We’re also joined by Keyur Shah from Paperandmore.com who adopted Alpine.js for his website build, and we discuss how it helped him make it happen.

We venture off into a tangential but really relevant discussion of the state of web development today, and how using “as little as you can for as long as you can” is still quite a good way to go.

March 23, 2020Remote Working & Pair Programming with Tuple
On this episode, we talk to Ben Orenstein about Tuple, dubbed “The best remote pair programming app on macOS”.

We discuss why pair programming is such a helpful thing to be doing, whether you’re working remotely or even on-site together, in terms of learning by observing, which is what we primates are geared for.

With more and more people being asked to work remotely to combat COVID-19, Tuple’s kind of distance collaboration enables people to be effective remote workers.

We then talk about the specific features of Tuple in terms of its CPU efficiency, lack of friction, screen drawing, and remote control that set it apart from the myriad of existing screen sharing solutions.

March 16, 2020Sizzy the browser for developers & designers
On this episode, we’re joined by special guest Lea Alcantara to talk with Kitze about Sizzy, his web browser for developers & designers.

We discuss how Sizzy allows you to visualize your project holistically, by showing you how it looks on multiple devices & orientations simultaneously.

Sizzy is also something that Quality Assurance (QAs) will love, for the instantaneous sanity check of the project on multiple devices.

We go into some killer new features that are in the works for Sizzy, such as overlaying the design from the designer with the implementation by the developer, with differences highlighted.

March 08, 2020Exiting the Tech Business
On this episode, we talk to Matt Barron, who as of today left his job as a senior designer at Thinkmill… and exited the tech business entirely.

We talk to Matt about the motivation for leaving the tech business after being fully immersed in it for almost 30 years. We discuss the courage it takes to leave something behind that you’ve become so skilled at, and how humbling it is starting anew at the bottom.

Matt’s story isn’t your typical one, but perhaps that’s the point. And perhaps we can all find something in his journey that resonates with us.

Tune in to find out the job that Matt’s exiting the tech business for!

February 24, 2020Interviewing for a Webdev Job in 2020
In this episode we talk to Paulo Elias, formerly from IDEO, about his experiences interviewing for a frontend web development position in 2020.

We talk about the interview process, and how much of the focus is on JavaScript, with CSS and HTML as almost an afterthought.

Is this just a thing inside the bubble that is Silicon Valley, or is it a broader shift in the craft of modern web development?

We go on to talk about some of the specific questions asked, the focus on algorithms and problem solving, and how getting good at interviewing is a skill in and of itself.

February 17, 2020Developers are from Mars, Designers are from Venus
On this episode, we talk to Souvik Das Gupta from Miranj and Rob Hewitt from Steadfast Design Firm about how designers and developers can work more effectively together.

We discuss when designers and developers should begin the collaboration process, and whether it makes sense for each profession to learn a little bit of the other.

We go on to talk about the critical role of tooling, and how that can make collaboration easier, and delve off into things like JAMstack, designing components, working with an author experience person, and more!
