Episode notes

I've been focused or at least the team I'm on now focuses on editorial tools for ABC News. So that's kind of a UI for them because right now they're currently using an existing system that interacts existing UI that interacts with the CMS. But we're trying to get them on more of an updated like newer UI, so that's what our team works on. It's not like it has to be user focused. Is it on brand, so to say, or is it just something that looks generally nice or bootstrappy or whatever? For us, we do like it looks,. We don't think anyone would at first class would immediately recognize it as being Disney-style.

In this supper club episode of Syntax, Wes and Scott talk with Vu Le about his path to working at Disney. How did he learn to code? How do you get a job at Disney? What’s the tech stack inside a Disney team?

Tuple - Sponsor

This week’s sponsor is Tuple, an app built specifically for remote pair programming. The app is written in C++ and tuned for high-resolution screen sharing and low-latency remote control. Because developers deserve better than Zoom or Meet for pairing.
