Imagine a world in which your editor / IDE can actually write some of your code for you. Where you're able to produce software faster and more efficiently because your development environment "knows" what you want to do, based on code you've written before. Turns out you can start experiencing this in the present using the free TabNine editor extension by Codata. In this episode Kyle Simpson, Codata's Lead of Developer Empowerment, joins the panel to describe how they use Machine Learning to enhance and accelerate software development. Kyle explains what's already possible in the present, and what ML technology promises to enable in the future for developer experience.PicksAimeeTerraform cost estimation: https://github.com/antonbabenko/terraform-cost-estimationDanhttps://www.se.rit.edu/~tabeec/RIT_441/Resources_files/How To Write Unmaintainable Code.pdfKylehttps://medium.com/nmc-techblog/introducing-the-async-cookie-store-api-89cbecf401fAJ3-Wolf Moon: https://amzn.to/3dGkRE6Watchexec: https://webinstall.dev/w

Liran Tal and Brian Vermeer from Snyk join the panel to discuss development of secure software in general, and secure JavaScript and web dev in particular. They explain what developer-first security actually means, and the types of security vulnerabilities to watch out for when using modern tools to develop websites and web apps. They also present several Open Source tools that developers can use to improve their code right from within their favorite development environments and IDEs.SponsorsAudible.comCacheFlyPanelAJ ONealAimee KnightDan ShappirSpecial GuestsLiran TalBrian VermeerLinksHttps://www.webpagetest.orghttps://snyk.io/security-scanner-vuln-cost/https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=wix.vscode-import-costPicksDanadd Alt Texts when tweeting code on twitter as an image,https://www.goodreads.com/series/46817-demon-cycleAJZalgohttps://www.cnet.com/news/the-shirt-with-the-most-incredible-amazon-reviews/The Friendly, Interactive ShellTomorrow Night Theme (Terminal, iTerm2, VSCode, vim, etc)Dr

This week the panel is joined by Mark Volkmann to discuss Svelte and how it compares and differs from front-end frameworks such as React and Angular. Mark has written a book and has given talks about Svelte and also about Sapper, an application framework built on top of Svelte. He explains to the panel how Svelte components are defined differently than other JavaScript frameworks, and how they are actually compiled into the production code, which isn’t dependent on any external libraries. He also explains why and how Svelte forgoes the use of a virtual DOM, using direct DOM manipulations instead. Finally he describes Sapper and explains how it can be used to quickly and easily create Web-apps that use SSR, static pages generation and dynamic routing.SponsorsFaithlife | Now Hiring Software DevelopersRaygun | Click here to get started on your free 14-day trialAudible.comCacheFlyPanelAimee KnightDan ShappirSteve EdwardsSpecial GuestMark VolkmannLinkshttps://github.com/sveltejs/svelte/issues/2546https://mvolkmann

Podcast: Play in new window | Download Many websites these days have to deal with the reality of incorporating third-party scripts. These could be tracking scripts or analytics or monitoring, or even scripts that add explicit features to a site, such as chat. Regardless of the purpose, such scripts add complexity and overhead, and can interfere with the proper operation of the site. In this episode Ben Vinegar, VP of engineering at Sentry, joins the panel to discuss the complexities and implications of third-party scripts, both from the perspective of website developers, as well as from the perspective of the developers creating such scripts.SponsorsFaithlife | Now Hiring Software DevelopersRaygun | Click here to get started on your free 14-day trialAudible.comCacheFlyPanelAJ ONealAimee KnightDan ShappirCharles Max WoodSpecial GuestBen VinegarLinksETAG Cookieshttps://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Web_Components/Using_custom_elementsPicksAimeehttps://github.com/hwayne/awesome-cold-showersAJAJQuery v2.0h

For Web apps to be useful and successfully compete with native applications, they need to be able to access device features, such as the camera, local file system, Bluetooth, and more. Obviously such a mechanism needs to be secure and respect user privacy. In this episode Thomas Steiner, a Developer Advocate for the Web at Google, joins to discuss Project Fugu, and the benefits and capabilities that it already provides, and will provide in the future. Thomas, who is actively involved in this project, explains the design and development process for this project, and how it’s being rolled out and tested.SponsorsRaygun | Click here to get started on your free 14-day trialThe Complete Software Developer’s Career Guide – Grab a Copy TodayAudible.comCacheFlyPanelCharles Max WoodAJ ONealAimee KnightDan ShappirSteve EdwardsSpecial GuestThomas SteinerLinksWICGWake LockChrome Origin Trials GatekeepingMicrosoft Origin TrialsWebOTPPicksAimee Knighthttps://github.com/lebinh/nginx-confSteveGod’s Battalions: The Case for th

In this episode the panel discusses various programming topics, and whether or not they are required knowledge for JavaScript programmers. This includes topics such as scopes and hoisting, closures, the event-loop, and the behavior of this. For each such topic, the panel discusses whether or not JavaScript devs are required to know and understand them in order to write better code, or pass job interviews, or to understand existing codebases. Alternatively, if these are topics that JavaScript developers don’t need to know, and maybe should even avoid.SponsorsAudible.comThe Complete Software Developer’s Career Guide – Grab a Copy TodayCacheFlyPanelAJ ONealCharles Max WoodDan ShappirSteve EdwardsLinks10 Interview Questions Every JavaScript Developer Should Know – AKA: The Keys to JavaScript Masteryhttps://kentcdodds.com/blog/newspaper-code-structurehttps://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/ClosuresYour Coffee Shop Doesn’t Use Two-Phase CommitPicksAJCrock on JS Follow JavaScript Jabber on Twitter: @

MongoDB is a popular option for databases which provides objects that look and act like JavaScript Objects. We brought an expert, Joe Karlsson to clear up some of the confusion on how to arrange your data in MongoDB. Joe provides a rundown on how to think about your data with a smaller dataset, a medium sized dataset, and a large dataset. The panel also dives into how the database works and how things are managed and arranged by the MongoDB database engine.SponsorsThe Complete Software Developer’s Career Guide – Grab a Copy TodayCacheFlyPanelCharles Max WoodAimee KnightDan ShappirAJ ONealSpecial GuestJoe KarlssonLinksM320: Data Modelingdeveloper.mongodb.comPicksChuckLeadership in Turbulent TimesAimeeProsourceFit Acupressure MatAJAcupuncture MatSQL vs NoSQLChiron Beta Primessh-pubkeyArs Technica War Stories: Ultima Online (about sharding)Joe KarlssonStamped From the BeginningSpecial Guest: Joe Karlsson.

The panel talks with Jonathan Reinink about his new library, IntertiaJS. InertiaJS is a tool that allows you to create a monolith server rendered site, but where you write your own custom back end, and then use a front end framework like React, Vue, or Svelte. We discuss how Intertia works at a very granular level, how it compares to tools like Next.js and Nuxt, why monoliths are better than using APIs, how Interita handles authentication and form submissions, and much more.PanelAJ O’NealAimee KnightSteve EdwardsGuestJonathan ReininkSponsorsScout APM | We'll donate $5 to the open source project of your choice when you deploy ScoutReact Native Remote Conf 2020LinksTurbolinks PicksJonathan Reinink:Follow Jonathan on Twitter > @reinink, WebsiteInertia.js - The Modern MonolithLost in SpaceAimee Knight:Our AWS bill is ~ 2% of revenue.

Yoav Wiess is a Developer Advocate at Google on the Chrome team, and also co-chair of the W3C Performance Working Group. In this episode Yoav explains how JavaScript resources are currently being delivered to browsers, and limitations and downsides with these approaches. He then describes a proposal for an advanced JavaScript delivery method that addresses these limitations. When this proposal is implemented, it will enable much more efficient download of JavaScript into browsers, boosting Web performance. This is a public proposal, and Yoav invites the community to participate in the standardization process.PanelAJ O’NealAimee KnightSteve EdwardsDan ShappirGuestYoav WeissSponsorsScout APM | We'll donate $5 to the open source project of your choice when you deploy ScoutReact Native Remote Conf 2020LinksJSJ 434: Understanding and Using ES Modules in Node with Gil TayarPicksYoav Weiss McCumskey:Follow Yoav on Twitter > @yoavweiss Scroll to Text Fragment - Chrome Platform StatusAJ O’Neal:Follow AJ on Twitter
