Episode 17: Matt Biilmann, CEO of Netlify @ Reactathon
🕸 Today we have Matt Biilmann, the CEO of Netlify with us!
He tells us about starting out with music and journalism in Copenhagen to entering the software field in Madrid, eventually leading him to San Francisco where he explored all the visas to try to stay 🇺🇸
That journey led to the hypothesis that the modern web stack would separate into individual parts, where Netlify could focus on improving the front-end experience & workflow 🤔 Spoiler: it seems to have worked!
Of course, Matt is always thinking about the future. His observation that data consolidation is a challenge led to the acquisition of OneGraph, and he tells us more about why that's an important fit for modern applications. ⚛️

Episode 22: Andrew Clark from Meta @ Reactathon
⚛ In this episode, we're joined by Andrew Clark from Meta!
We talk about how he started with software, from creating basic web pages in the 4th/5th grade to moving on to iPhone apps in Objective-C as the transformative part of his career towards more in-depth software development 📲
It was awesome picking his brain about the history of React, how it was initially inspired by XHP at Facebook, and how JSX was introduced to appeal to the internal engineers (while it was boo'ed off stage at JSConf!) 😱
He's part of the React Runtime team, which has ideated and implemented the Fiber architecture 6 years ago to releasing React 18's Concurrent Mode more recently. It's been an incredible journey, and digging into how other runtimes have inspired Andrew and React has been amazing to hear 🙌🏽
Lastly, we talk about how Andrew got involved with React & Meta - co-creating Redux, his first React PR with Sebastian, and starting at Meta. We also talk about the future of React, and how the team is now working together across various organizations 🤝🏽
We really enjoyed sitting down with Andrew and hope you enjoyed the conversation!

▲ Today we have the one and only Guillermo from Vercel
We speak about how he started in every sense: with JavaScript, with MooTools, with Socket.IO, and with Vercel
It's an epic journey that I'm so happy I was able to capture and share with all of you ❤️ Check it out and enjoy!
Note: My microphone was failing in this interview and we tried our best to stitch it together. Thankfully, Guillermo's microphone was working just fine.

Episode 25: Dan Abramov from Meta
⚛️ In this episode, we have Dan Abramov from Meta!
His work doesn't need an introduction, but the journey to get there is incredible. From learning Visual Basic as an introduction to English, to getting those early formative jobs that shaped his approach & reasoning about problems, to starting with React & getting involved with the community - it's what makes him the person he is today ⭐️
