Code Story: Insights from Startup Tech Leaders - S3 E19: Joe Howard, WP Buffs

Joe Howard is originally from Washington DC. He did his undergrad outside of Philly, then quickly moved back to the DC area. He's married, with a young family and most of his outside of work time is dedicated to family, and traveling to interesting places (when the pandemic allows).


He likes to try and keep himself disciplined with his day to day calendar - through exercise, reading, team growth, and family focus. And he uses a pomodoro journal - on and off - to help him keep organized in blocking his time. Host of the WPMRR podcast, on which he focuses on increasing monthly recurring revenue, and for sure, mentions the latest in Wordpress world. I'd recommend checking it out.


Joe started out as a Wordpress freelancer, but found it was hard to scale building websites. However, what he knew was the fact that there are a lot of Wordpress sites out there... and they need grade A support.


This is the creation story of WP Buffs.

The Stack Overflow Podcast - React, Vue, jQuery: what flavor do you like your Vanilla JS?

You can find Ferdinandi's post and video here.

12 years ago, back when Stack Overflow was a brand new site with just a few thousand users, someone asked a basic question: What is the difference between a framework and a library?

FreeCodeCamp has its own take on this question with a pretty interesting answer. "When you use a library, you are in charge of the flow of the application. You are choosing when and where to call the library. When you use a framework, the framework is in charge of the flow. It provides some places for you to plug in your code, but it calls the code you plugged in as needed."

There was no Lifeboat badge to call out this week, so we honored a Lifejacket winner instead. Shout out to Andreas for answering the queston: Are byte arrays initialised to zero in Java?

The Stack Overflow Podcast - Tim Berners Lee wants to put you in a pod, a web pod.

You can find out more about Sir Berners-Lee's work on Solid here.

Other topics discussed in this episode: 

Docker puts a limit on free containers. That has to be good for the environment. But is it also good for Docker and the future of its products? Sometimes, forcing yourself to make something worth purchasing  helps drive innovation. 

The Tao of Programming isn't new, and some of its technical references are a bit out of date. But it's still good for a laugh and little bit of enlightenment-lite.

Are you interested in putting on your own drone light show? Intel offers options to fit a range of budgets. 

This week's lifeboat badge goes to JCL for answering the question: C# compiler: CS0121: The call is ambiguous between the following methods or properties.

Big Technology Podcast - Investor, Activist Swati Mylavarapu: Tech World Must “Get Uncomfortable” With Its Impact On Society

Swati Mylavarapu is a tech investor and activist who spent $2 million in the 2020 election cycle on Democratic causes, in partnership with her husband, Nest co-founder Matt Rogers. Mylavarapu isn’t your typical Silicon Valley investor. She’ll explicitly admit that the tech industry has some culpability in the hollowing out of the middle of our economy, delivering wealth to the few while leaving the rest in a tough spot. She also served as Pete Buttigeg’s national finance chair in the 2020 Democratic primaries, playing a key role in his surprising upstart campaign. 


Mylavarapu joined the Big Technology Podcast fresh off a bout with Covid-19 to discuss the tech industry’s role in our society, and how it can be a force for good moving forward.

Code Story: Insights from Startup Tech Leaders - S3 Bonus: Joe + Tony, Mythic Markets

Joe Mahavuthivanij was born and raised in the Bay Area, into an entrepreneurial family. Primarily through his life, he was exposed to small businesses. He went to school at UCSD in San Diego, and worked with startups of all shapes and sizes. In fact, he spent some time on the VC side of the fence as well. Tony Tran met Joe in San Diego at school, moving back to the Bay Area around the same time. He is a startup veteran, having built solutions that were acquired by LinkedIn, and creating Uber's fraud detection solutions. He even dabbled in the crypto space, which ended up fizzling out at the time that Joe was looking for a technical leader to join his latest venture.


Joe is a long time collector and investor in Magic the gathering... but one day, his entire collection was stolen - which today, would have been worth a million dollars. Ouch... Being into pop culture relics, Joe wanted a way to make these assets accessible to those who love them most - without requiring them to pay huge sums of money. So he and Tony set out to build a solution to do just that.


This is the creation story of Mythic Markets.
