This episode features an interview with Sara Vieira, Founding Engineer at axo. At the time of this recording, Sara was working at Remote as a Senior Frontend Developer. As a developer with nearly a decade of experience, Sara has formed a few controversial opinions over the years.

In this episode, Cassidy, Zach, and Sara discuss QueerJS (a meetup series for queer folks), why good code is overrated, and if TypeScript is really necessary.

“I think good code is overrated. And this is a very controversial thing to say, but I don't think code is art. I think code has a purpose and the purpose is to build something. And even if your code is not the nicest, as long as it works, it doesn't matter. In the end, your user doesn't care if your code looks nice.” – Sara Vieira
