Johannes Schickling - Prisma, Effect and the rise of Local First Development

This week we have Johannes Schickling, the founder and former CEO of Prisma. We talk about what he's been up to in the last few years and what he envisions for the future of software development. He is a contributor to the Effect library which is a new way to write asynchronous code in TypeScript. We also talk about the rise of local first development, how it's changing the way we build software, and how he's using it to build his new app Overtone.

Effect is amazing. I started learning it a few months ago but mainly using it in personal projects so worked with it on and off. It isn't that hard to understand. You just have to wrap your head around the patterns and writing some code is the fastest way to do that. You will see the benefits pretty soon and it's amazing we don't program like this by default, because it makes programs so much simpler and easier to understand and on top of that it produces safer and way more robust code.

Prisma is not for sql dbs. Simply if u use prisma with sql you lose all the capabilities of the db. Best way is to use a query builder that allows injecting raw sql or just use raw sql directly

[@HerringtonDarkholme]

Hope one day Effect can bring algebraic effect to TypeScript
