Yoav talks about interviewing at Builder. We talk more about tech interviews in general, and discussed some of the most common mistakes that people make. Roman goes on an epic rant about accessible components and the difference between a listbox, combobox!

Show notes:

Yoav lost his job, so he's down the interviewee path.. This comes with opinions obviously. Other than that, React is annoying us, and we discuss why. Tailwind is still our sweetheart, and the tides are turning in several sections in the web space. 

A lot of the times making a decision revolves around politics. How do we make a right decision when it comes to tech? 

The usual way - a comparison table!

Roman hates them. We discussed.

This time, we were lucky enough to host Kent in person for a conversation about his experience in Israel as he gets ready to give the keynote talk for React Next 2022. We talked about web development, JavaScript frameworks, server-side rendering, life outside of coding, and more!

Kent C. Dodds is a professional web developer, speaker, and open source library author. He has created countless popular JavaScript libraries, which are used by millions of developers across the world. He also hosts the “Chats with Kent” podcast where he interviews other developers to learn more about their processes and experiences. Recently Kent joined the Remix team as a co-founder, and now he says he’s on a mission to teach as many developers as possible the joy that is Remix.

Is the third age of JavaScript really upon us?

We're not sure, but we'll talk about it anyway.

**In this episode, we'll discuss what makes up the third age of JavaScript, as well as some philosophical musings around web development and server-side rendering hydration. We'll also give a brief update on how it is for Roman working with React Native.

This time we chatted about UI frameworks, being frustrated with the complexity of React and Twitter drama. We also talked about working in a react-native environment vs the web and how the web rocks and rules all.
