Whiskey Web and Whatnot: Web Development, Neat

Building products is hard. And devs can often feel hamstrung by competing priorities. The battle between revenue and quality is ever-present and ongoing. But is it possible to achieve both?  In this episode, Chuck and Robbie discuss some of their frustrations with the tech companies and tech stacks in the modern era, supporting open source projects, and some great TV shows they have been enjoying. Key Takeaways [01:27] - A whiskey review - Barrell Dovetail Whiskey. [08:00] - Why tech companies are reluctant to upgrade dependencies. [18:08] - The importance of supporting open source projects. [30:45] - Why React dominates the landscape. [43:13] - Chuck and Robbie discuss TV shows. [49:36] - Chuck's weekend plans with family. [54:29] - Chuck's Korean fried chicken experience. Quotes [10:48] - "I feel like we've done all of this stuff to be like, let's get everyone Scrum certified, and let's do this whole process. And people really bought into that, and it does not help them." ~ @rwwagner90 [https://twitter.com/rwwagner90] [12:59] - "You read the books. You see the blogs. You get experts to come in and train your teams, and you're still kind of struggling to get it right. But then we keep getting told there's a right way. Who is doing it right?" ~ @CharlesWthe3rd [https://twitter.com/CharlesWthe3rd] [25:27] - "I think in a perfect world, what I would love to see happen is companies kind of take frameworks under their wing and be like, look, we realize how much work you're doing. We realize there are not that many people doing it. Here are these two people we just hired. Teach them the thing that no one knows so we can increase the buzz factor here and at the same time, instead of just telling you to teach them, here's $500,000. Do whatever you think makes the framework better." ~ @rwwagner90 [https://twitter.com/rwwagner90] Links Barrell Dovetail Whiskey [https://www.barrellbourbon.com/dovetail] MGP [https://www.mgpingredients.com/] Dr Pepper [https://www.drpepper.com/] Cherry Coca Cola [https://us.coca-cola.com/products/coca-cola-flavors/cherry] George Dickel Tenessee Whiskey [https://www.georgedickel.com/] Jack Daniels Distillery [https://www.jackdaniels.com/] Green Brier Distillery [https://www.greenbrier.com/] Ember [https://emberjs.com/] Next.js [https://nextjs.org/] GitHub [https://github.com/] NPM [https://www.npmjs.com/] Melaine Sumner [https://melanie.codes/] Sindre Sorhus [https://sindresorhus.com/] Chris Manson [https://ie.linkedin.com/in/realate] Microsoft [https://www.oracle.com/industries/micros/] Jest [https://jestjs.io/] Facebook [https://www.facebook.com/] Vitest [https://vitest.dev/] Faker  [https://fakerjs.dev/] Java Script [https://www.javascript.com/] Hacker News [https://thehackernews.com/] Reddit [https://reddit.com/] Sqwok [https://sqwok.im/] jQuery [https://jquery.com/] LESS [https://lesscss.org/] Sass [https://sass-lang.com/] Coffee Script [https://coffeescript.org/] TypeScrpit [https://www.typescriptlang.org/] Lodash [https://lodash.com/] Shop Talk [https://shoptalkshow.com/] Electro-Voice [https://electrovoice.com/] See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Introducing a new framework can be challenging, especially when developers are loyal to old favorites. But Astro 1.0 is bridging the gap between old and new by staying compatible and familiar with other frameworks. Nate Moore, an engineer at Astro Technology Company and core maintainer on Astro has been working on Astro 1.0 for 16 months. His major focus was launching a new web framework that is sustainable and future-proof. Astro 1.0 is targeted at devs building content-based websites and is compatible with most frameworks out there. In this episode, Nate talks with Robbie and Chuck about the launch of Astro 1.0, its compatibility with other frameworks, frameworks that inspired Astro, and Nate's life goal of visiting every national park. Key Takeaways [00:49] - A quick intro to Nate. [01:36] - A whisky review - Laws Centennial Straight Wheat Whiskey 4 Year. [09:59] - What is Astro? [23:24] - What are the new features in Astro 1.0? [30:32] - Web components Nate has used. [42:10] - The challenges with monorepos. [44:41] - Nate's life goal of visiting every national park. Quotes [12:11] - "I think the ecosystem just goes in circles. But it is funny to see people come into the ecosystem and be like, where's your link component? It's like that's just an anchor tag. You don't need a component." - @n_moore [https://twitter.com/n_moore] [22:39] - "I heard somebody recently described Vite as the United Nations of JavaScript. Everybody is building on top of Vite now, and it's just really cool to see because if you hit a bug and you upstream a fix, then everybody is going to benefit from that, and people are really taking it in a lot of different ways." - @n_moore [https://twitter.com/n_moore] [27:39] - "I think people are really spoiled by how much investment like Microsoft has made into TypeScript and just like all the tooling around that stuff.

Like many developers, Mark Steadman began working in web development with just a couple of goals in mind: write something that runs and passes a test. No major thought for those using the interface he created.  Mark's perspective changed when he sat with a few folks who were blind or had low vision, and watched as they used assistive technology for the web and attempted to navigate a site he'd developed. Their struggle to tackle basic web functions against inaccessible code was Mark's wake-up moment and his inspiration to close the gap between emerging developers and accessibility education.  In this episode, Chuck and Robbie talk with Mark about his passion for accessibility, where most web accessibility issues originate, practical tips for incorporating accessibility into developer workflow, and why accessibility means more than checking a box, meeting quota, and passing a test. Key Takeaways [00:44] - A quick intro to Mark.  [02:52] - A whiskey review - Angel's Envy Bourbon Port Finish.  [11:47] - How Mark became an accessibility specialist.  [19:28] - Where the web accessibility issue originates.  [27:41] - How to make data visualization accessible.  [34:29] - The major accessibility complaint we fail to consider with JavaScript frameworks. [36:17] - How to keep developers and frameworks on the right track with accessibility.  [44:22] - A Star Wars-themed whatnot.  [50:37] - Why Mark likes college football (and their stadiums).  Quotes [01:50] - "I feel like there's a gap in the field right now where developers are kind of not being reached out to from the accessibility side of things. So my passion in both my job and on the side too, I write for accessibility as well, is to fill that gap." ~ @Steady5063 [https://twitter.com/steady5063] [38:53] - "That's my biggest advocacy for automation, is it helps developers learn accessibility on the fly." ~ @Steady5063 [https://twitter.com/steady5063] [01:00:08] - "If you are a developer that's listening to this, take the time to put accessibility as a priority.

There are two types of engineers. The "normal" ones who strive to make their day-to-day lives as easy as possible and the Robbie's of the world who strive to do everything themselves until the last line of code is sealed in a changelog.  On that note, do you prefer conventional commits? Or the tools out there that make organization easier and, sometimes, automated? Chuck and Robbie don't see eye-to-eye on this particular topic so prepare yourself for the mildest smackdown of the century. In this episode, Chuck and Robbie discuss the pros and cons of release-it, the beauty of working system-agnostic, why Robbie prefers the changelog, and an attempt to stay abreast of frameworks like fresh coming into focus.  Key Takeaways [00:33] - A whiskey review - Howler Head Banana Whiskey. [09:12] - A mild smackdown on conventional commits versus release-it.  [15:23] - Why Chuck and Robbie prefer the changelog.  [20:35] - What is fresh? And Robbie leaks some internal R&D. [26:42] - What Robbie thinks about the Chevy Blazer EV and SUVs in general. [44:55] - How Chuck and his family acquired a Recall box.  Quotes [09:55] - "I don't dislike release-it. Let's be clear there. I just don't want to have to physically do anything beyond opening the pull request and closing the pull request." ~ @CharlesWthe3rd [https://twitter.com/CharlesWthe3rd] [13:01] - "I'm not a big fan of conventional commits because it adds a lot of noise to your commit log." ~ @rwwagner90 [https://twitter.com/rwwagner90] [15:06] - "I just think that you [Robbie] are different than a lot of engineers in that you're like, 'I want to touch and do all the things for all 16 jobs, I just want to do it myself and make sure it hits to the end' and other engineers are like, 'what script can I write to never do this again?'" ~ @CharlesWthe3rd [https://twitter.com/CharlesWthe3rd] Links Howler Head Kentucky Banana Bourbon Whiskey [https://www.howlerhead.com] Suggest a Whiskey on Twitter!

A few years into Preston Sego's coding career, a colleague working on increasing interactivity on the company's interface chose Ember for the endeavor. Years later, when Preston began developing his own project, he took his colleague's advice and began testing the waters with Ember as well.  In 2019, Preston noticed interesting work brewing within Ember. Realizing Ember was adaptable to modern tools, Preston decided to dive back in and start building out a chat app to test the framework. That same year, Preston spoke at EmberConf and eventually landed a job at CrowdStrike where the framework of choice was Ember. In this episode, Preston talks with Chuck and Robbie about comparing Ember to React without angering either side, why he values Ember resources and has worked to create various libraries, what emerging tech Preston's thrilled to be working on, and what tech Preston's violently against.  Key Takeaways [01:13] - The origin of Preston's alias.  [03:13] - A whiskey review - Malahat Rye. [10:14] - How Preston got into Ember. [20:09] - The exciting tech projects Preston's working on. [26:21] - What Preston is looking forward to that's coming out soon. [29:13] - What tech Preston is violently against.  [31:17] - A corn-themed whatnot.  [35:04] - Why Preston loves pinochle and boring cereal.  [43:09] - A deep dive on Starcraft.  [47:54] - What retro games Chuck is playing.  Quotes [15:04] - "I really like clinical comparisons between things because if you have any emotion whatsoever in a comparison article, you're going to upset one of the sides and you don't wanna do that." ~ Preston Sego [https://twitter.com/nullvoxpopuli] [23:10] - "I think the most obvious and beneficial use case [of resources] is for data loading.

In recent years, accessibility has evolved from a way to avoid legal landmines, to a specialization developers are taking a serious approach to for the sake of their companies, apps, and users. Eric Bailey has been at the forefront of this maturation, working as both an advocate and educator in the accessibility and inclusive design space.  A user experience designer by trade, Eric developed a passion for accessibility that led him to The A11Y Project – an open source, one-stop shop for digital accessibility education. Eric helps maintain the hub while writing and speaking about the intersectionality of code, usability, and disability.  In this episode, Eric talks with Chuck and Robbie about the challenges of improving digital inclusivity, how to work through inclusive design on a budget, what bothers Eric about developers who are afraid to take the accessibility leap, where platforms fall short, and the tools that make implementing accessibility easier.  Key Takeaways [00:39] - A brief intro to Eric.  [01:35] - A whiskey review - Jefferson's Ocean Bourbon. [09:20] - How Eric got involved in accessibility and the A11Y Project.

[56:35] - A few closing thoughts from Eric.  Quotes [10:34] - "I used to think [accessibility] shouldn't be a job because everybody should be doing it. But the more I explore this space, the more I understand there is a need for specialization like any other kind of technical consideration." ~ @ericwbailey [https://twitter.com/ericwbailey] [22:00] - "This is something that I try to be very cognizant of as I identify as abled but I speak with and interact with the disability community: the last thing I want to do is typecast or tokenize or suggest that this is the one true way to do things." ~ @ericwbailey [https://twitter.com/ericwbailey] [24:16] - "Bringing people in who are daily assistive technology users and having them actually navigate through things is an incredibly compelling, incredibly eye-opening experience." ~ @ericwbailey [https://twitter.com/ericwbailey] Links Eric Bailey [https://twitter.com/ericwbailey] The A11Y Project [https://www.a11yproject.com] An accessibility checklist [https://www.a11yproject.com/checklist/] Accessibility posts  [https://www.a11yproject.com/posts/] Accessibility resources [https://www.a11yproject.com/resources/] Contribute to The A11Y Project [https://www.a11yproject.com/write-for-us/] Git  [https://git-scm.com] Jefferson's Ocean Voyage 24 [https://jeffersonsbourbon.com/jeffersons-ocean-voyage-24/] Old Fitzgerald Whiskey [https://heavenhilldistillery.com/old-fitzgerald.php] Microformats [http://microformats.org] National Geographic  [https://www.nationalgeographic.com] Remix Run [https://remix.run] 11ty [https://www.11ty.dev] JavaScript [https://www.javascript.com] element transition API [https://developer.chrome.com/blog/shared-element-transitions-for-spas/] Velveeta [https://www.kraftheinz-foodservice.com/products/0000070270/velveeta] See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Years ago, Dan Gebhardt was mapping out data needs for an app he was building. In a struggle to make sense of every requirement and apply them to other packages like Ember Data, he hit a wall. At this point, there was no option for adapting Ember Data to the complex specificities of his app's needs.  Dan tried to rationalize a solution, deconstructing entire data universes and all aspects of a data library. The end result was Orbit, a framework-agnostic data layer with use cases beyond the obvious. Since its inception, many developers have leaned on Orbit, including those at Ship Shape.  In this episode, Chuck and Robbie talk with Dan about Orbit's origin story, the best (and least obvious) ways to use Orbit, why Dan chose platform-agnostic, what he really thinks about Starbeam, his ultimate goal with Orbit, and Dan's all-time favorite power tool.  Key Takeaways [00:45] - A brief intro to Dan.  [03:02] - A whiskey review - Nikka Single Malt Miyagikyo.  [11:04] - Why Dan created Orbit.  [15:47] - Unexpected use cases for Orbit.  [21:42] - How Orbit flags a conflict.  [25:33] - Orbit's use cases outside of JSON:API. [32:46] - What Dan thinks about Starbeam.  [35:12] - How Dan escapes his computer.  [40:32] - Dan's favorite power tool.  [42:33] - Dan's thoughts on New Hampshire (and New Jersey). [48:46] - Dan's closing thoughts and his sneak peek at a new release.  Quotes [13:28] - "Sometimes building for the hard case first also helps clarify the simple case and I think that Orbit really scales from the very simple to the very complex set of requirements." ~ @dgeb [https://twitter.com/dgeb] [17:47] - "That's one of my favorite aspects of working with Orbit is using it as simply as possible to just prototype an app really quickly." ~ @dgeb [https://twitter.com/dgeb] [33:32] - "The frameworks have too long been siloed and we are now seeing some really interesting cross framework solutions out there, whether you're talking about Starbeam or even something like Remix or Astro." ~ @dgeb [https://twitter.com/dgeb] Links Dan Gebhardt [https://twitter.com/dgeb] Ember Core Team Emeritus [https://emberjs.com/teams/] JSON:API [https://jsonapi.org] Orbit.js [https://github.com/orbitjs] Tilde  [https://www.tilde.io] Ruby On Rails [https://rubyonrails.org] Rust [https://www.rust-lang.org] Yehuda Katz [https://yehudakatz.com] JSONAPI::Resources [https://jsonapi-resources.com] Nikka Single Malt Miyagikyo [https://www.nikka.com/eng/brands/singlemalt-miyagikyo/] Nikka From The Barrel [https://www.nikka.com/eng/brands/fromthebarrel/] The Glencairn Whiskey Glass [https://www.glencairnwhiskyglass.com] The Norlan Whiskey Glass [https://norlanglass.com/pages/norlan-whisky-glass] GraphQL [https://graphql.org] IndexedDB [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/IndexedDB_API] Ember Data [https://guides.emberjs.com/release/models/] Swach [https://swach.io/] Git [https://git-scm.com] Apollo  [https://www.apollographql.com] Whiskey Web and Whatnot: Discovering Ember, Adopting Orbit, and Unlocking Optimization with Chris Thoburn (runspired)  [https://www.whiskeywebandwhatnot.fm/discovering-ember-adopting-orbit-and-unlocking-optimization-with-chris-thoburn-runspired/] LinkedIn [http://www.linkedin.com] See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In high school, Matt Johnson followed in the footsteps of his older brother, pursuing similar hobbies like sports and music. After joining a band, Matt realized they needed a website. Mirroring his brother, Matt learned to code, built a website, and changed his college major. Following graduation, Matt dove into business ownership, buying out the company he interned for with a business partner. That once small operation has grown to a team of over 100 and as of July 1st, Matt will be Midwestern Interactive's sole owner. Like Chuck and Robbie, Matt made the switch from programmer to business owner and is committed to his role as a people and business leader.  In this episode, Matt talks with Chuck and Robbie about learning to love coding, Matt's philosophy on tech and business, what's valuable and what's fluff with Web3, and why Matt took up golf after putting coding on the backburner. Key Takeaways [00:29] - A brief introduction to Matt.  [01:24] - A whiskey review.  [08:34] - How Matt discovered coding.  [12:17] - Matt's (and Robbie's) music career.  [15:14] - How Matt decides what tech to work with.  [16:33] - How often Matt actually codes as a business owner.  [22:56] - The very last piece of billable code Matt wrote for Midwestern Interactive.

You leverage the tools for what you love to do, and then you fall in love with the tool. It's a really interesting thing. I remember the idea of telling a computer what to do was just baffling to me. I can just create my own anything." ~ Matt Johnson [https://www.linkedin.com/in/matthew-johnson-71a059b3/] [18:26] - "When you are running a business you have to be able to be the right person for the job at any given moment. And you have to have that ability to change your priorities to meet the priorities of the people setting the priorities." ~ Matt Johnson [https://www.linkedin.com/in/matthew-johnson-71a059b3/] [18:57] - "When you base your decisions on what's right, it's a whole lot easier to go to sleep at night.

Quotes [14:54] - "Tools like TypeScript don't automatically just understand what's up within ember app. At least one of the things for Polaris is to figure out how we can transition to a world where we don't have those little tiny differences anymore so that when you open a project in VS Code, TypeScript just knows what's up." ~ @chancancode [https://twitter.com/chancancode]  [37:46] - "I think conceptually, a reactivity layer that is decoupled from the framework makes a lot of sense to me because there's just a lot of libraries and abstractions that you want to write that eventually, you want people to be able to use them in UI." ~ @chancancode [https://twitter.com/chancancode]  [39:31] - "I think having something like Starbeam where you can express those reactivity concepts or those annotations without making your library only usable in React or Vue or whatever is a good thing to have in 2022." ~ @chancancode [https://twitter.com/chancancode]  Links Godfrey Chan [https://twitter.com/chancancode] Ember [https://emberjs.com] Ember Core Team [https://emberjs.com/teams/] Rails Core Team [https://rubyonrails.org/community] Ruby on Rails [https://rubyonrails.org]  Tilde [https://www.tilde.io] Lyre's American Malt [https://lyres.com/range/american-malt/] Multnomah Whiskey Library [https://mwlpdx.com] EmberConf [https://2022.emberconf.com] Godfrey's EmberConf 2022 Keynote [https://2022.emberconf.com/talks/keynote-part-2] Slides [https://speakerdeck.com/chancancode/virtual-emberconf-2022-platform-state-of-the-union)] Yehuda's EmberConf 2022 Keynote [https://2022.emberconf.com/talks/keynote-part-1] Slides [https://ember.slides.com/users/sign_in] Ember Octane [https://emberjs.com/editions/octane/] Ember Inspector [https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/ember-inspector/bmdblncegkenkacieihfhpjfppoconhi] TypeScript [https://www.typescriptlang.org] JavaScript [https://www.javascript.com] webpack [https://webpack.js.org] Visual Studio Code [https://code.visualstudio.com] See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Quotes [15:23] - "Bash hasn't innovated at all. It's the same thing it's always been. It does its job but I don't need to remember all that stuff. Give me some auto-complete and some nice color themes and cool stuff." ~ @rwwagner90 [https://twitter.com/rwwagner90] [29:11] - "I know Next. I don't even have to know Next and I know it because it's a good framework. React by itself is just a huge learning curve. Because it's like, 'ok we're going to do all this stuff that looks nothing like anything anyone else is doing.'" ~ @rwwagner90 [https://twitter.com/rwwagner90] [29:54] - "React is becoming more opinionated as its user base continues to grow and becomes more opinionated." ~ @CharlesWthe3rd [https://twitter.com/CharlesWthe3rd] Links Beast Masters Club Private Barrell - Elijah Craig - "Three Tenors, Hogze Carreras"  [https://www.beastmastersclub.com/shop/pinhook-gn4pm-92ty8-zpx4f] Slack [http://www.slack.com] Whiskey Web and Whatnot: A Battle of Two Worlds and Mentorship Above Milestones with Cory Brown [https://www.whiskeywebandwhatnot.fm/a-battle-of-two-worlds-and-mentorship-above-milestones-with-cory-brown/] Buffalo Trace [https://www.buffalotracedistillery.com] Eagle Rare [https://eaglerare.com] The FRIENDS Experience  [https://www.friendstheexperience.com] 5 Tips to Improve Your Terminal Experience [https://shipshape.io/blog/five-tips-to-improve-your-terminal-experience/] Amazon [http://www.amazon.com] iTerm  [https://iterm2.com] Hyper [https://hyper.is] Warp [https://www.warp.dev] fish shell [https://fishshell.com] Fig [https://fig.io] Z shell  [https://zsh.sourceforge.io] dotfiles [https://dotfiles.github.io]   Homebrew [https://brew.sh] Homebrew cask [https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-cask]  MonoLisa font [https://www.monolisa.dev] Starship [https://starship.rs] Node.js [https://nodejs.org] Rust [https://www.rust-lang.org] Ember [https://emberjs.com] LinkedIn [http://www.linkedin.com] Bun [https://bun.sh] Discord  [https://discord.com] Remix [https://remix.run] Next.js [https://nextjs.org] API Routes [https://nextjs.org/docs/api-routes/introduction] Middleware [https://nextjs.org/docs/advanced-features/middleware] WWDC22 [https://developer.apple.com/wwdc22/] See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
