My friend @jplhomer and I are doing a podcast! Join us as we trying to figure out JavaScript, careers, and life.

So @crim_codes and I started a podcast. It's called "Josh and Austin Figure It Out." Lots of technical; some career and life talk. Available where you find podcasts.

Fun fact: we met on Twitter, but our families have known each other for like 50 years...?

[Josh Larson @jplhomer]

@crim_codes and I talked about "vibe coding" which is something you've probably never heard talked about on a podcast before! https://t.co/jiqgUmjBo2

Vague criticism is the easiest and most worthless type of commentary.

“X thing is stupid”
“No one should use X thing”
“X thing is broken”

This is just noise. Being specific helps everyone.

After hearing @calebporzio talk about this, I can’t stop seeing it.

@RhysSullivan You gotta Sign On every Single time

@TRPage_dev @jplhomer Totally, can't wait to pull out this story when the kids are older and complaining about some long drive

[Austin Crim @crim_codes]

@ryanflorence So weird to see you as a post-React reply guy, but I’m excited to see where it goes

[Austin Crim @crim_codes]

Do you have a horrible travel story?

Listen to this ep and let me know if it measures up to mine 👇

[Josh Larson @jplhomer]

Warning: nightmare road trip story this week on the pod 👻 You gotta listen to this one because, believe it or not, it gets worse 😱

Here's a teaser from @crim_codes

Fresh blog!

Let's build a tiny version of React while reminiscing on why its initial ideas were so fresh.

@aarondfrancis Love it! Not just because I see @jplhomer and myself

[Austin Crim @crim_codes]

@jplhomer Love it, happy birthday!

@adamwathan I hit this all the time too. Can't cmd-w a tab if you've focused the sidebar, etc.

Seems like something in this doc is the answer but I've never been able to figure it out https://t.co/9deEBPBUy6

Incredibly cursed knowledge presented wonderfully as always by @samwhoo

@jplhomer Imagine if we had a podcast together and I could use this new setup

[Austin Crim @crim_codes]

Smartphone + lights is the 80/20 rule for webcam setups

@ryanflorence That’s a big part. But it mostly comes down to aesthetic preference tbh. The big frameworks are mostly functionally equivalent, as your original post points out, I would just guess people splinter over what feels better to write rather than rendering perf specifically

Jk it’s not that serious, the compiler helps a lot!
