VueJS: The Documentary

Jason Lengstorf, principal developer experience engineer at Netlify, has been on quite the coding adventure. In this episode of Untold Developer Stories, we chat about his journey from music to code, his take on nailing a developer job interview, the struggles of working as a one-man team and why he lost parts of his beard working in a job he didn’t like.
Find out more about Jason over at his Twitter and his show LearnWithJason.

Ever wondered if imagining the audience naked while public speaking works to calm nerves? Tomasz Łakomy, senior frontend engineer and well-seasoned tech speaker, has tried it – and it really, really doesn’t.

In this episode of Untold Developer Stories, we chat to Tomasz about his experiences as a tech speaker and how anyone can do it, his thoughts on what makes a good software dev and how developers should be more consumer-focused (oof).

Check out more of Tomasz’s work over at his Twitter and website.

Join Julian and Amsterdam-based, serial entrepreneur, developer and author, Roy Derks, as they discuss team leading, overcoming the fabled CS degree, and finding love in times of Corona… (I made that last one up because I'm lonely.)

Also, we're looking for some tunes for our next DevWave (VueJS edition), so if you have any original beats which you think would compliment these voice snippets send them through to [[email protected]]. For some inspiration, you can check out our previous DevWave (the GraphQL Wave) here. We'll be releasing the tracks on our Youtube Channel and using our favourite mix for the intro to this podcast.
