How to approach online learning for coding
Very authentic approach to silicon valley day to day
I've been waiting for this one!
It's been waiting to release. We hope you enjoy it!
This came at the right time. After a decade. I am taking a break. Not in the traditional sense. But I am stepping away from the corporate life to work on something of my own. Appreciate the insight.
Happy to hear this came at a good time! Congrats on stepping away. It can be a scary thing but life is to short not to take chances. Good luck doing something on your own!
There is so many information I get from this discussion keep it up guys. I’m also a beginner learning to program and build you a using in nextjs
We are happy to hear there is valuable information in the episode!
There was a weird background audio issue at 20 minutes. Sorry about that :(
So great talking to you! Thanks for having me :)
Phoenix/Liveview with LiveSvelte. You get the best of both CSR and SSR.
Awesome discussion! Thanks for uploading. Question: what LED board does Brian have in his background?
Wow finally a podcast with active seniors developers talking about things that actually matter in software development!
We are happy to hear we are providing value 😊
One aspect to mention is that we are paying for the compute of the "UI logic" when done server side , but client side counting with the compute power of the client is the way to go most of the time. Most of the reasons I heard are not strong enough to justify having to compute/pay server side.
This is really helpful for someone trying to get into the industry. Thank you!
You're welcome! We are always happy when people find our discussions helpful!
what are your thoughts on Flutter? Working with a single codebase for multiple platforms.
Flutter and React Native are great options for building multiple apps. There are some tradeoffs though. Having native mobile apps is always the best option for flexibility and quality but that obviously means you're coding for multiple platforms separately. So it really depends what you need for your app. When I was at Netflix we had debated leveraging React Native to build out native signup flows for iOS and Android but we realized there were a lot of limitations going that route. Hopefully that helps. It feels like the answer is another "it depends" :)
chatgpt is helpful with types and scripts
bash and ts
The X11 protocol used on Unix workstations kinda solved a lot of these new questions many decades ago There is also DisplayPostscript from Sun Microsystems as an alternative Its worth dusting off some old code and seeing how they did it These ancient tools had full blown 3D CAD workstations and video editing working over 10 Mbps networks, with single core backend machines, and a few MB of memory
So MVC again.
Love the guy pointing out "This is just html" yup that kinda sums it up
I am curious who actually does this well? What applications do it well? I have had fairly good luck over the years with it for typical business applications where it is like a pretty standard Data over forms type app. While the talk about collaborating better with teams, I am curious for extremely small teams or even single person teams. I do think most of the time it overkill and takes a lot of planning and becomes a big distraction more then solving the actual business problems.
Where is the “first episode”? Please
Such an excelent perspective subscribed !
Thank you for subscribing!
on the web, querystring was still used for a while for load-balanced session IDs to scale out web servers better (before the session could be reliably pinned at layer 7 to one server).. it also became real nice on web apps when the hosting app (browser) could close out and reopen (within a certain timeframe) and the user not have to log in and find the last page they were at, as long as they're coming from the same IP and haven't changed app versions (or w/e your constraints are).
DAX brother?
who’s Dax? 😂
Great conversation! The All-In for devs. Love it.
awesome content guys, keep going!
Thank you! ❤
So the answer is yes, you have to work more than 9 to 5.
thanks so much for having me on!
We need to have you on more! Thanks for joining us.
Great video, guys! I have just finished a Nuxt3/WordPress with WPGraphQL. Jason is a legend!
THE OASIS from Ready Player One coming true in front of our eyes
Hi Ryan, let me know how can I connect with you
I'm a new web developer, never used WordPress. This block editor feature seems really interesting, I'm going to try it out. Thanks for the episode
Wordpress is an excellent tool for newer developers. It allows a lot of flexibility to help you create different types of websites and applications. Hopefully you like it. You'll have to let us know how it goes.
Wow you guys are on You tube now! so Awesome!!!!!!!!!
Please make more podcasts with video recording!!
Great episode. I wish you would upload the rest of the episodes on yt as well. It's very inconvenient (imo) to check other platforms.
This episode was very cathartic for me and I loved hearing everyones perspectives. One thing that wasn't discussed is staying at a job longer than you should have. I have now done this a few times in my career and, to Cole's point, given too much of myself. Now that I've experienced leaving a job where I was very comfortable, taking on more scope, joining a place that made me deeply unhappy, etc. It has taught me a lot about myself and helped me understand what I need out of a job. When you've been in tech as long as we all have, we have the privilege or burden of choice. Some great advice I was given somewhat recently, is never take a job because you're running away from something. Always take a job because you're running toward something. Great job, gents. You're always a beacon of knowledge & empathy for all of us.
Thank you, Jason! That is such a great point we could have covered staying too long at a job.
Awesome to see Marc one the podcast!
I love this video format of the FEHH episodes! Thanks 🙏
