This chapter chronicles the speaker's evolution from creating a personal webpage during college to exploring the complexities of front-end web development. It highlights the transition from static content to dynamic interactions, the significance of open source contributions, and the development of linting tools like ESLint. The speaker also reflects on the balance between working on large projects and personal enjoyment within the coding community.
ESLint is a static code analysis tool for identifying and fixing problems in JavaScript code. It helps developers maintain code quality and consistency by enforcing coding standards and detecting issues such as syntax errors, stylistic problems, and bugs.
Nicholas Zakas is the creator of ESLint. He joins the show to talk about working at Yahoo in the early days of the web, learning from JSLint, creating ESLint, separation of parsing and rules, and more.
Josh Goldberg is an independent full time open source developer in the TypeScript ecosystem. He works on projects that help developers write better TypeScript more easily, most notably on typescript-eslint: the tooling that enables ESLint and Prettier to run on TypeScript code. Josh regularly contributes to open source projects in the ecosystem such as ESLint and TypeScript. Josh is a Microsoft MVP for developer technologies and the author of the acclaimed Learning TypeScript (O’Reilly), a cherished resource for any developer seeking to learn TypeScript without any prior experience outside of JavaScript. Josh regularly presents talks and workshops at bootcamps, conferences, and meetups to share knowledge on TypeScript, static analysis, open source, and general frontend and web development.
