Do you know that feeling when you watch a tech talk and you just connect with it? π
That's exactly what Elian was able to do at React Brussels, with his talk on... Astro π
The content drew Taz into chatting more with Elian, who had a story that we just had to share with you. Being able to deliver content that connects is one thing, but what's behind the person that can do it? π€
Join us as we chat with Elian about Astro, public speaking, and his journey! ππ½

π Today weβre joined by Lee Robinson from Vercel! Lee is the Director of Developer Relations at Vercel, and is involved with communities everywhere.
Taz chats with him while attending the React Miami conference, where Lee spoke about the latest improvements to the Vercel platform. We chat with him about that, growing up in Iowa, videography & photography, and how heβs combined all of those passions for developer relations as Vercel has grown from 34 employees to over 300 today.
We hope you enjoy! π

Today we chat with Medhat Dawoud!
He was just about to give his first talk in front of an audience at React Live Amsterdam, and asked Taz what he was doing with all the camera equipment. So Taz sat down and showed him! π
Medhat went on to give a talk on Cheap Performance Wins in React, and wrote about the experience on his blog as well ππ½ https://medhatdawoud.net/blog/first-time-on-stage

πΏπ¦ The best part of attending events is meeting people and re-discovering things you thought you knew
Lucky demonstrated the power of the modern browser, by controlling a drone with bananas. Yes, you heard that correctly - bananas. We had no idea this was even possible and his demo was insane π€―π Check out the full talk here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2vg1tlvETt0&list=PL37ZVnwpeshGuMZrOZzEo8QLBjjpbtBGm&index=11
Taz was born in South Africa, but he hasn't been back since moving to Canada since he was 5 years old. Learning about the country of his birth, through Lucky, was amazing and we're so happy to share the good and the bad with all of you ππ½
Today, Lucky is actively supporting the community through his efforts at Jozi.js and Soweto.js. Make sure to check out one of their events if you're in the area! β€οΈ
