🎉 Today we’re 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 he’s combined all of those passions for developer relations as Vercel has grown from 34 employees to over 300 today.

We hope you enjoy! 😊

⚛️ 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 ⭐️

🕸 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. ⚛️

🙌🏽 We're in Amsterdam for React Summit and who do we find but our friend Ives from CodeSandbox!

We talk about his journey starting CodeSandbox, where it is today, and all the lessons learnt along the way 👨‍🏫
