Episode notes

Wes: It's all about finding the things that keep you feeling excited about working on code. I personally, one thing that I choose to do instead of little demos is have like one big playground kind of demo. So there could be two different types of motivation. And if you're motivated by this, you know, ball, massive ball rolling downhill, you could just keep adding a rubber band to this rubber band ball.

In this potluck episode of Syntax, Wes and Scott answer your questions about Prisma, CSS variables in React components, JS notebooks, transcribing podcasts, keeping up with dev skills, selling a domain, and more.
