🇬🇷 Today we have Eleftheria from Greece with us, at CityJS Athens!

We talk about her journey into tech (which almost happen!), leading to learning Angular.js in the early days before transitioning into React & React Native 🚀 These days, she had a Master's degree in technology - quite the achievement from almost not entering the field!

She spent the early part of her career in the startup space, where she had to wear many hats. One of which was to continually improve UI/UX even without access to a designer, which served as inspiration for her content at CityJS Athens 👩‍🎨

Throughout her journey, she's leaned on the community to help her advance her skills, and she's chosen to give back by elevating developers through her content. Today, she's the Lead Community Manager at Hash Node, working with the team there to do the same 🙌🏽

🇺🇦 We have Natalia from the VueJS core team and GitLab with us!

Her journey through in the software industry is incredible. From learning to code at 11 using BASIC on a ZX Spectrum, to getting a Master's degree in Computer Engineering, to learning JavaScript while becoming a mother, she's been considered a "junior" through that entire part of her career 😅

It was through her involvement with the VueJS community, meeting friends like Sara Vieira, and working on VueJS itself, she started working at GitLab which rocketed her upwards to the next stage of her career 🚀

These days, she's based in Amsterdam. However, a large part of her journey was from Ukraine where she's from. Natalia was kind enough to speak about the current situation in Ukraine with us as well 🙏🏽

TC39 is the standards committee that designs the JavaScript language (sometimes called ECMAScript). The panel will feature a range of committee members and they will answer to questions about the past, present and future of JavaScript!

⚛️ 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 ⭐️
