Throwback Frameworks, Tailwind Fandom, and CSS with Jhey Tompkins
Have you ever reflected on the tools that shaped your journey as a developer? Jhey Tompkins, Senior DX Engineer at Vercel, takes a trip down memory lane with Chuck and Robbie, even diving into the topic of Tailwind.
As a CSS experimenter, Jhey is a fan of Tailwind. He explains how, beyond all the debates, its real value of simplifying CSS shines through. Jhey also walks through his experience with a Backbone Marionette app that's still hanging out on GitHub pages, highlighting one of its most memorable features—event handling in strings. He also touches on modern frameworks like Vue, Astro, and Svelte, sharing his experience with each.
In this episode, Jhey talks to Robbie and Chuck about the inspiration behind his bear logo, experimenting with CSS using Tailwind, and the nostalgia for old-school frameworks.
