Listen Later

Join host Charles William Carpenter III and special guest host Adam Argyle as they welcome Natalia Venditto on this episode of Whiskey Web and Whatnot.

They dive into Natalia's background in JavaScript and her current work at Microsoft. The trio shares their impressions of Smooth Ambler's Contradiction Bourbon, discussing its unique blend of whiskeys, flavor profiles, and personal ratings.

The conversation shifts to hot tech topics, including inferred vs. explicit types in TypeScript, IDEs vs. text editors, and opinions on GraphQL and micro frontends. They also touch on the nuances between developer experience (DX) and user experience (UX), frameworks like Astro, and the inherent trade-offs in software architecture.

Wrapping up, Natalia shares insights about living in Barcelona and her background in architecture and filmmaking.
