  • Favors others platforms

    Apple podcast platform is often neglected. Was a premium supporter but Spotify gets episodes first and what appears on this platform is the free version of episodes even if you paid for premium.

    Very disappointing and will be the last time I pay for a membership.

  • DHH? Gross.

    Pretty bummed y’all had DHH on the show. Dude has done so much harm through racist policies at Basecamp and a general sneering attitude to anybody who doesn’t look/act like a white dude. Pass.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Oliver Medhurst - Porffor - JavaScript Ahead of Time Compiler
Q: What do you think about using JavaScript to write Porffor?
It was just a choice of practicality, as JavaScript is the language I know best, allowing me to rapidly prototype ideas without the overhead of lower-level languages.
Oliver Medhurst - Porffor - JavaScript Ahead of Time Compiler
Q: How did you get into Porffor?
I started that mostly as a joke, thinking no one has made a JavaScript browser. I just wanted to make something fun and this led me to create an AOT compiler as a challenge against the popular belief that it's impossible.
Nathan Flurry - Rivet - The Future of Serverless is Stateful
Q: What would you say would be the single best reason why they should try Rivet?
Simplicity; Rivet simplifies the development experience significantly, especially for those familiar with complex infrastructure tools like Kafka.
Nathan Flurry - Rivet - The Future of Serverless is Stateful
Q: So when you were starting Rivet, when y'all applied to YCE, the sort of theme was sort of infrastructure for games, for like multiplayer games. Can you walk us through sort of what the transition from pitching YCE to like where you're at today?
We started with a focus on gaming infrastructure but gradually shifted to a broader focus on stateful computing due to demand outside gaming as we recognized the need for high performance, low latency solutions applicable in various contexts.
Zoltan Kochan - PNPM and the Future of Package Management
Q: What was the journey into the SemLinks structure like for PNPM and what were the big challenges?
Kochan outlines that the biggest challenge was resolving peer dependencies, which became increasingly complicated as they grew more recursive, ultimately leading to a robust implementation in later versions of PNPM.
