In this episode of Whiskey Web and Whatnot, Robbie and Chuck talk with Carson Gross about his journey in web development, including the creation of htmx and its predecessor, intercooler.js. They touch on the differences between front-end libraries, the importance of timing in tech adoption, and the relevance of older technologies. Carson also talks about his love for baseball, retro software, and the potential for a return to simpler and more varied tech tools and hardware.
In this episode:
Quotes
“Intercooler vs htmx. They're the same thing. One of my takeaways from that is that timing is really, really important. Intercooler was too early. And we've seen that before in tech. If timing is what matters then the longer you can hang around, the more likely you are to catch that timing at some point.” ~ Carson Gross
“As I've gotten older, I've stopped looking for the one true programming language and the one true way to do X or Y or Z. There's a lot of different ways to get stuff done. And I like that there are people doing them different ways and that they've got their different take on things.” ~ Carson Gross

In this episode of Whiskey Web and Whatnot, Robbie and Chuck talk with Philip Winston about various web development best practices, the intricacies of working with multiple languages within the same codebase, and how software development has evolved. They also explore the evolution of gaming technology, the challenges of testing and distributing software in the past, and the potential future applications of AI and VR.
In this episode:
Quotes
“The connection between the graphics and the AI, to me, is you're both kind of computing reality. In both cases, you're just doing lots of matrix multiplies. That's what graphics is, and that's what AI is. You're just multiplying matrices. Lots and lots and lots of them.” ~ Philip Winston
“You need as much help as you can to make a complicated thing like a game. This is where the modding community comes from. It's like, we're making the engine, but it's easy to add the content. The next step is your customers can add the content.” ~ Philip Winston

In this episode of Whiskey Web and Whatnot, Robbie talks with Chris Manson about the intricacies of JavaScript classes, the evolving landscape of React and Ember, and the benefits of using Vite in modern app development.
Over a Bulleit Rye, Robbie and Chris discuss the benefits of Ember for long-term stability and its backward compatibility, highlighting tooling like generators and integration tests that make Ember stand out. Transitioning toward modern web development, they examine the role of Vite and the ongoing efforts to integrate it with Ember, promising a future of faster rebuilds and cleaner dependencies.
In this episode:
Quotes
“Because we're so opinionated in Ember, we're able to make decisions about your app that other frameworks aren't able to make, essentially. So we can say oh okay, we're cutting out all the stuff you're not using. That's the dead code elimination.” ~ Chris Manson
“We use generators in Ember. Very few other frameworks use generators. You generate a component in Ember and it instantly creates an integration test that renders that component and checks the contents of it and gives you ways to interact with it, to click it, to check the contents and encourages you to put more tests in that file.” ~ Chris Manson
