Returning guest, Ian Lavery from Picovice.ai, joins the hosts to talk all things voice recognition. He dives into new languages the company has tackled over the last year (and what languages it plans to tackle next year), how they train their models, and how Picovoice is actually running speech recognition in the browser instead of in the cloud, making things like captioning live streams and real-time chats possible with some of its newer tech Cheetah and Leopard.

He also shares how he wrote a simple podcast transcription app using Picovoice and Express.js, in addition to Picovoice boasting specific SDKs for React, Angular and Vue.

Listen to Ian's first appearance on RRU here where he and the panel went deep into the specifics of voice recognition like security and privacy, understanding it in general, and using it sans big cloud providers.

Software engineer Pierre Hedkvist joins the React Round Up panelists to share some spicy (controversial) coding decisions he's made and then written about. The first hot topic is using React state to store filter setting in query parameters with the help of a custom Hook, and the second is migrating an app to rely more heavily on React Query instead of Redux.

If you've been considering doing something similar, give this episode a listen to hear Pierre's strategies and advice for anyone looking to get started.

Gleb Bahmutov, who worked with the Cypress.io team for 4 years, joins the panelists to talk all things testing. You may be familiar with Cypress as a popular JavaScript end-to-end testing framework, but did you know it recently began offering component testing as well? This may be just the incentive you need to ditch Jest and Testing Library for unit/integration tests and go all in on Cypress for all your testing needs. Listen up and let us know if you're convinced.

Today we talk with Fred Schott , the co-creator of Astro, a web framework focused on improving performance. Built around island architecture, it leverages HTML over javascript where it’s an option. Astro is a great option for those who focus on content, marketing, or personal blogs, and it is a great option to use with React. In this episode we talk about when it makes sense to use Astro, and how to implement it.

In today's all panelist episode we address web development controversies: state management tools, CSS in JS, GraphQL or REST, and, of course, tabs versus spaces. And the rule is: there's no saying "It depends." Listen to the panelists take hard line stances on things that matter (and things that don't), and try to defend their choices. It's a fun episode for everyone, and we'd love to hear about your own controversial coding decisions.
