103: Pariss Athena on Black Tech Pipeline
FeaturingPariss Athena — Twitter, Websitechantastic — Twitter, WebsiteLinks#BlackTechTwitter hashtag search to TwitterBlack Tech PipelineDiversity, Equity, and Inclusion@ParissAthena's tweet on why she is specific about helping Black and Brown technologists, not PoC (people of color)CorrectionsThere were two places where I spoke without providing enough context for the listeners. People have asked and, given the importance of the topic, I'd like to add that context here:"We're doing fine...": To support a point about exclusively supporting Black and Brown groups, excluding other people of color, I said (about Asians) "we're doing fine". This is an oversimplification. I meant "Asian representation in tech is significantly better — at American tech companies — than that of Black and Brown folks." I didn't mean to diminish the challenges that Asian developers and designers face in the workplace but to say — by comparison — I've never worked at a growing company where I was the only person who looked like me (for long).SponsorsInfinite RedIn over your head with a React or React Native app?

96: Pete Hunt on Seven Years of Reconsidering Best Practices
To celebrate 7 years of React, we have a very special guest: Pete Hunt.
He’s the one who asked us to give React just 5 minutes, to reconsider our established frontend practices, and see if separation of technologies was serving us as well as we thought.
Pete tells us about the early days of React — it’s rocky community reception, Facebook’s struggle to create meaningful open source, and betting big on CommonJS and a little-known bundler named Webpack.
