π² Today we have David Price from the RedwoodJS project!
He's an awesome dude that should probably start offering cooking classes because of the way the ingredients come together with something like RedwoodJS. It's inspired by Rails, and is a complete multi-platform ready solution from the data model (via Prisma & GraphQL) to components (via Redwood Cells) to even including the testing (via end-to-end Jest) as well as Storybook π€―
We chat with him about the challenges of starting a project, and taking it to that 100% mark with all of the details to be considered along the way. They're doing "the Webpack and the Babel behind the scenes, it is not glamourous making an open source project work" but seeing the impact to people and community everywhere is very soul-nourishing, especially with so many companies already building on top of Redwood ππ½

David Priceβ 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 π²
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!) π±
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 ππ½
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 π€π½
We really enjoyed sitting down with Andrew and hope you enjoyed the conversation!

Taz SinghπΈ 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 πΊπΈ
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 π€ 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. βοΈ
