The Stack Overflow Podcast - The less JavaScript, the better

Astro is a site builder that lets you use the frontend tools you already love (React, Vue, Svelte, and more) to build content-rich, performant websites.

Astro extracts your UI into smaller, isolated components (“islands”) and replaces unused JavaScript with lightweight HTML for faster loads and time-to-interactive (TTI).

Ben and Nate explain why Astro’s compiler was written in Go (“seemed like fun”).

To learn more about Astro, start with their docs or see what people are doing with the framework.

Connect with Ben on LinkedIn, GitHub, or via his website.

Connect with Nate on GitHub.

Shoutout to Lifeboat badge winner Aurand for their answer to How to convert list to queue to achieve FIFO.

Code Story: Insights from Startup Tech Leaders - S7 Bonus: Alex Embiricos, Remotion

Alex Embiricos comes from an interesting background, having grown up all over the place - between Asia, the Caribbean, and Switzerland. He came to the states for college, and found his way into software after a stint in Aerospace. Ultimately, he found himself interested in the intersection between business and building technology. During his career, he spent a lot of time working at Dropbox, followed up by starting a company with his friends. Outside of tech, he loves to play Badminton, and when asked what his favorite food was, well... it is his Mom's food.

After his prior startup failed, Alex still had the urge to build something. He met his now co-founder, and they started to explore ways to connect people online. What they noticed was that most video chat tools were created around a presentation, but not around solving problems together.

This is the creation story of Remotion.

The Stack Overflow Podcast - How chaos engineering preps developers for the ultimate game day

In complex service-oriented architectures, failure can happen in individual servers and containers, then cascade through your system. Good engineering takes into account possible failures. But how do you test whether a solution actually mitigates failures without risking the ire of your customers? That’s where chaos engineering comes in, injecting failures and uncertainty into complex systems so your team can see where your architecture breaks.

On this sponsored episode, our fourth in the series with Intuit, Ben and Ryan chat with Deepthi Panthula, Senior Product Manager, and Shan Anwar, Principal Software Engineer, both of Intuit about how use self-serve chaos engineering tools to control the blast radius of failures, how game day tests and drills keep their systems resilient, and how their investment in open-source software powers their program.

Episode notes:

Sometimes old practices work in new environments. The Intuit team uses Failure Mode Effect Analysis, (FMEA), a procedure developed by the US military in 1949, to ensure that their developers understand possible points of failure before code makes it to production.

The team uses Litmus Chaos to inject failures into their Kubernetes-based system and power their chaos engineering efforts. It’s open source and maintained by Intuit and others.

If you’ve been following this series, you’d know that Intuit is a big fan of open-source software. Special shout out to Argo Workflow, which makes their compute-intensive Kubernetes jobs work much smoother.

Connect on LinkedIn with Deepthi Panthula and Zeeshan (Shan) Anwar.

Code Story: Insights from Startup Tech Leaders - S7 Bonus: Sydney Davis, Nixcode

Sydney Davis really enjoys art. She enjoys immersive exhibits and loves to paint. She's a Mom, and digs spending time with her son and traveling to different exhibits. She loves the intersection between elemental art, digital art, and art from repurposed elements. She introduced me to a new term for immersive exhibits - selfie museums, which I hadn't heard before.

When Sydney was leaving the college world, she was creating apps for customers, and validated the need for said customers to have guidance on how to build an app. After taking a development hiatus, she picked back up her platform approach in 2019, and eventually started using AI & Machine Learning to drive an easier, no code, app development experience.

This is the creation story of Nixcode.

Code Story: Insights from Startup Tech Leaders - S7 E20: Tanmai Gopal, Hasura

Tanmai Gopal studied computer science, and specialize in computer vision and machine learning. He found himself frustrated with the pace at which his research work was getting exposure, so he expedited his jump into industry, which help solidify the foundation for his current venture. Outside of tech, he reads a lot, hikes and travels. For the readers, he highly recommends N.K. Jemisin, Charlie Jane-Anders and Namoi Novak.

Tanmai and his colleagues became outright frustrated with building API's just to build products. He began wondering what it would take to not do that work anymore, and after breaking down the process to its simplest form - data mapping and security authorization - he had a bead on how to do that.

This is the creation story of Hasura.
