In today’s episode, Chris and Andrew tackle the eternal quandary of good versus evil
right out of the gate. Then they dive into the heart of tech talk with Andrew sharing his
candid challenges with React, to the struggle of getting code from the mind onto the
screen. They touch on the evolution of programming, reminiscing about the days of
DOS and games stored on floppy disks and reflecting on how ‘everything’ has been
critically designed by someone. They also share interesting insights about upgrades to
Rails and debugging, the efficiency of GitHub Copilot with JavaScript, the convolution of
JavaScript compared to Ruby, and the art of minimizing interruptions during coding flow.
There’s also a reflection on public speaking at conferences and the art of balancing
content and entertainment in presentations.
