Enjoy the Vue

Support us on Kofi! (https://ko-fi.com/C0C86NYJW) Everybody needs a break sometimes. That's why we're going on a brief hiatus! We know you will miss us while we're gone so, to keep you entertained until our return, we are sharing some extra special picks in today's episode. From the Steam Deck to the wonderful game of chess, from Inventing Anna to a new season of Taskmaster, we have an exciting list of games and bingeable TV shows for you, plus one or two movies, a horror novella, and some flashy moves too! Don't miss this special edition of Enjoy the Vue, especially since it will be our last for a while. Thanks for joining us! Key Points From This Episode: Diving right into our special edition picks, starting with the Steam Deck. Why Ari says half the fun of watching Inventing Anna is imitating the accent. Oscar's movie pick: Everything Everywhere All at Once and why you should watch it. Tessa's experience of playing Fire Emblem: Three Houses on Nintendo Switch. Ghosts on BBC One (not the American version!) and Severance on Apple TV+. Oscar shares a pick he may or may not have mentioned previously: Slay the Spire. Why Tessa recommends Better Call Saul, even if you haven't seen Breaking Bad. Ari on why Horizon: Forbidden West is everything she “hoped and dreamed of and more.” Play a game of chess between meetings with Oscar on Chess.com! The diversity and inclusivity of the cast on The Good Doctor on ABC. A game show and a dramatization; Game Changer and The Girl from Plainville. Why Oscar suggests practicing flashy moves for when you play tabletop games. Tessa offers up an animated film, a book, a YouTube show, and a ginger seltzer. Oscar shares his professional opinion on whether seltzer is better out of a bottle or a can. We leave you with some classic Enjoy the Vue ‘goofing' to close the show! Tweetables: “Severance, which is on Apple TV+, [is] honestly one of the best shows I have ever watched. Every moment is so intentional, even if it doesn't seem like it in the moment.” — @EnjoyTheVueCast (https://twitter.com/EnjoyTheVueCast) [0:11:44] “If you want to just play a game [of chess] in the background with some folks between meetings, you just pop over to the [Chess.com] tab, make a move, smile at how smart you are, and continue on.” — @EnjoyTheVueCast (https://twitter.com/EnjoyTheVueCast) [0:26:07] “It's less about your ability to play [a game] and more about how high your intimidation skill is.” — @EnjoyTheVueCast (https://twitter.com/EnjoyTheVueCast) [0:37:53] “People will disagree with me on this point, but I think your first chug of seltzer should be approximately half the can. You may take sips after that, but the initial chug should be about half the can to be enjoyed immediately.” — @EnjoyTheVueCast (https://twitter.com/EnjoyTheVueCast) [0:45:18] Links Mentioned in Today's Episode: Alex Steam Deck (https://store.steampowered.com/steamdeck) Ghosts (British version) (https://play.hbomax.com/page/urn:hbo:page:GXrBDuAniEYC9JwEAAAWV:type:series), BBC (HBO Max) Taskmaster series 13 (https://www.channel4.com/programmes/taskmaster), Channel4 Chess: The Musical (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chess_(musical)) Game Changer (https://www.dropout.tv/game-changer), Dropout.tv Star Realms (https://www.starrealms.com/digital-game/) Seedlip Drinks (https://www.seedlipdrinks.com/) Ari Inventing Anna (https://www.netflix.com/title/81008305), Netflix Severance (https://tv.apple.com/us/show/severance/umc.cmc.1srk2goyh2q2zdxcx605w8vtx), Apple TV+  Horizon Forbidden West (https://www.playstation.com/en-us/games/horizon-forbidden-west/) (Playstation 4, Playstation 5) The Girl from Plainville (https://www.hulu.com/series/b23dbb07-5a56-4918-8a17-a0cbe18d7884), Hulu Oscar Everything Everywhere All At Once (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Everything_Everywhere_All_at_Once) Baba is You (https://hempuli.com/baba), Hempuli Slay the Spire (https://www.megacrit.com/), Mega Crit Chess (https://www.chess.com/) Flashpoint (https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/100901/flash-point-fire-rescue) Practicing meaningless flashy ways of placing pieces in games Tessa Fire Emblem: Three Houses (https://www.nintendo.com/store/products/fire-emblem-three-houses-switch), Intelligent Systems, Koei Tecmo (Nintendo Switch) Better Call Saul (https://www.amc.com/shows/better-call-saul--1002228), AMC The Good Doctor (https://abc.com/shows/the-good-doctor), ABC Helpmeet (https://bookshop.org/books/helpmeet-9781988964386/9781988964386), Naben Ruthnum ねこぢる草 (Cat Soup) (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cat_Soup), J.C.

Support us on Kofi! (https://ko-fi.com/C0C86NYJW) Have you ever wondered if it's worth breaking the internet? No? Well, today's guest has! Tune in as we chat with Yulia Startsev, a software engineer for Mozilla, and a compiler for JavaScript. We dive into the conversation with who uses semi-colons (and when and why), followed by an anecdote from Yulia about Smoosh and the potential to break the internet. Yulia talks us through the considerations when naming a new JavaScript function, and the promising changes around immutability. We also learn how to remember the difference between the splice and slice functions, and why pattern matching is such an exciting prospect. We hear about the four stages of deciding to change JavaScript, why most programming languages are written in English, and why certain popular functions like caller and colleague were deprecated. We wrap up the episode with a summary of what the array by group function does, who funds the updates to JavaScript, and what Yulia's fantasy changes to the web would be! So, for all this and so much more, tune in today. Key Points From This Episode: Welcome to today's guest, Yulia Startsev, an engineer at Mozilla and compiler for JavaScript.  A discussion around semicolons and who's pro and who's against (and who's neither!). Why it's important not to break the internet: a funny anecdote about SmooshGate.  The considerations to take into account when naming a function.  What's coming to JavaScript: Immutability.  Why Tuples are such an exciting prospect and their role in wrap-around vs incomplete infinite grids.  How the team understands the difference between splicing and slicing.  How Yulia and the JavaScript team come up with new names.  The idea behind pattern matching, and how it will reduce the cognitive load on developers.  The four stages of deciding to accept a change to JavaScript.  Why most programming languages are written in English.  Why the caller and colleague functions were deprecated.  Array by group: what it is, why it's interesting, and the readability issues it is facing.  Things the team would love to add to or change in JavaScript.  When Yulia is willing to break the web.  Who funds the updates and changes to JavaScript.  Yulia's fantasy changes to JavaScript, and why these are far in the future.  Where you can find out more about Yulia! Today's picks: from board games to body pillows to YouTube essayists.  Tweetables: “Pattern matching is a proposal I am quite excited about, switch in case statements are very interesting in JavaScript. By interesting, I mean, broken.” — @codehag (https://twitter.com/codehag?ref_src=twsrc%255Egoogle%257Ctwcamp%255Eserp%257Ctwgr%255Eauthor) [0:27:23] “[Pattern matching is] very exciting. It's very, very powerful, which makes it a little scary because using an overpowered tool for something that doesn't need that level of power can lead you to making mistakes that you wouldn't make with a less powerful tool.” — @codehag (https://twitter.com/codehag?ref_src=twsrc%255Egoogle%257Ctwcamp%255Eserp%257Ctwgr%255Eauthor) [0:33:19] “It's significantly more difficult to remove something than it is to add something.” — @codehag (https://twitter.com/codehag?ref_src=twsrc%255Egoogle%257Ctwcamp%255Eserp%257Ctwgr%255Eauthor) [0:52:10] Links Mentioned in Today's Episode: tc39: How We Work (https://github.com/tc39/how-we-work) (GitHub) SmooshGate: The ongoing struggle between progress and stability in JavaScript (https://medium.com/@jacobdfriedmann/smooshgate-the-ongoing-struggle-between-progress-and-stability-in-javascript-2a971c1162dd), Jacob Friedmann SmooshMonkey (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=smooshmonkey) Reduce/Reduce Conflict (https://www.gnu.org/software/bison/manual/html_node/Reduce_002fReduce.html#:~:text=A%20reduce%2Freduce%20conflict%20occurs,zero%20or%20more%20word%20groupings.), gnu.org JavaScript Records & Tuples Proposal (https://github.com/tc39/proposal-record-tuple), tc39 (GitHub)  Record & Tuple Tutorial (https://tc39.es/proposal-record-tuple/tutorial/#:~:text=What%20is%20Record%20%26%20Tuple%20%3F,a%20deeply%20immutable%20primitive%20value.), tc39 Kolates?

Support us on Kofi! (https://ko-fi.com/C0C86NYJW) Our focus in today's episode is more on the technical side of things and we get right into the weeds on the subject of how to continue your development work when you do not have all the API information you need. We speak about a bunch of options at your disposal, some of which we have tried and some that we have merely heard of, but whichever route you choose, this is definitely something you need to be able to do! Tuning in, you will hear about some recommended resources and tools for the processes of creating mock data and fake responses, and how to approach the data structure and model for the best results. We also get into some thoughts on the responsibilities related to APIs and why considering the different kinds of brains and machines that might be interpreting the data can help us format it most effectively. To finish off, we list a few of our wins and losses in the domain, before getting into this week's fun picks, including a novel, a TV show, a Japanese word game and more! Key Points From This Episode: Our past strategies to deal with an endpoint that is not yet ready to integrate with.  The packages, across different languages that can help in the process.   More online resources for finding necessary responses and elusive information.    The value of creating fake responses for a working API.  Approaches to data and making it readable for different types of people and machines. Data structure, sources of truth, and defining the data model.  Whose responsibility is it to maintain APIs?  Jumping off points for learning more about mocking data and playing with APIs. Mistakes and successes working with mock data and APIs!  This week's picks: books, Japanese crosswords, cookies, and Superstore! Tweetables: “Today, we're talking about what to do when the API endpoint that you need to integrate with isn't ready yet, but you need to still continue development.” — Ari (https://twitter.com/GloomyLumi) [0:00:21] “Sometimes you need to actually be able to figure out the integration part of the API before the API is ready.” — Ari [0:06:16] “If you're wanting to be able to run tests quickly, having to run your tests against an actual API, that can take a while.” — Alex (https://twitter.com/fimion) [0:10:07] “I do you feel like data transformation is one of the most painful parts of dealing with APIs, especially when the API is not in place.” — Tessa (https://twitter.com/halftes6) [0:12:40] Links Mentioned in Today's Episode: Hypothesis (https://hypothesis.readthedocs.io/en/latest/) Mockoon (https://mockoon.com/) Httpbin (https://httpbin.org) Mock service worker (https://mswjs.io/) RedwoodJS (https://redwoodjs.com/) OpenAPI spec (https://spec.openapis.org/oas/latest.html) Swagger (https://swagger.io/) https://github.com/Surnet/swagger-jsdoc Cypress Intercept (https://docs.cypress.io/guides/guides/network-requests) ​​Mock API Server Online Testing & API Mocking Guide, (https://stoplight.io/mock-api-guide/basics) Stoplight ​​Setting up mock servers (https://learning.postman.com/docs/designing-and-developing-your-api/mocking-data/setting-up-mock), Postman ​​Mocking by API (https://learning.postman.com/docs/designing-and-developing-your-api/mocking-data/mock-with-api), Postman API Mocking: Best Practices & Tips for Getting Started (https://www.soapui.org/learn/mocking/what-is-api-mocking), SoapUI Amina's episode (https://enjoythevue.io/episodes/64) This weeks picks: Alex The Gilded Ones (https://bookshop.org/books/the-gilded-ones-9781984848697/9781984848697), Namina Forna Ari Superstore (https://www.nbc.com/superstore), NBC (television show) Tessa J-crosswords, renshuu (Android (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.renshuu.renshuu_crosswords), iOS (https://apps.apple.com/us/app/j-crosswords/id1539315947)) Trader Joe's Chocolate Chip Cookies Review: Sweet on Trader Joe's: Chocolate Chip Cookies (https://www.bakeat350.net/2021/02/sweet-on-trader-joes-chocolate-chip-cookies-review.html), Bake at 350

Support us on Kofi! (https://ko-fi.com/C0C86NYJW) Today we turn our attention to our very own Ari! Join us as we get to know her journey before and after getting into programming. We hear from Ari about the time she spent working in her family's fabric business, some cutting and measuring techniques that she learned, her forays into studying engineering, and how she found programming around the age of 30. This leads to some discussion on conferences, boot camps, and how a brief experience can lead to a whole new direction! We then talk about getting into Vue and our regrets about the first code we wrote in the framework before we finish off the chat with some lighter thoughts on playing games and learning new skills. Stay tuned until the end of the episode to catch our latest picks, featuring a bunch of TV shows we are currently watching. Key Points From This Episode: Ari's professional history, working in the family fabric business, and her path into programming.   Studies in engineering and why this route did not pan out for Ari.  The important conversation that redirected Ari's life and career.    How conferences have influenced each of our lives and standout experiences we have had.   What Ari learned at her first boot camp and the languages it covered. Ari's first introduction to Vue and the first pieces of code we each wrote in the framework.  Thoughts on starting new games; aversion to learning, enjoyment, and new abilities. A reminder of where to find and connect with Ari online.   This week's picks: Netflix shows, game shows, and Ari's headphones! Tweetables: “Another great way to go to a conference for free is to be a speaker.” — @GloomyLumi (https://twitter.com/gloomylumi) [0:19:12] "There was not a lot of documentation around deploying with a full-stack application. I had to figure that out on my own, which I did.” — @GloomyLumi (https://twitter.com/gloomylumi) [0:27:08] “It's pretty much never actually about the end product, at least not from a growth perspective as a developer.” — @GloomyLumi (https://twitter.com/gloomylumi) [0:28:20] Links Mentioned in Today's Episode: Minky (https://www.fabric.com/fabric-type/minky) World of Warcraft (https://worldofwarcraft.com/) Our Picks: Alex Kongen Befaler (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt13218362/) (IMDB) (Taskmaster Norway) Ari Love on the Spectrum (https://www.netflix.com/title/81265493), Netflix  Tessa Squid Game (https://www.netflix.com/title/81040344), Siren Pictures, Inc., Netflix

Support us on Kofi! (https://ko-fi.com/C0C86NYJW) There are very few barriers keeping you from creating the career you want. For many developers, formal education no longer matters. What matters is demonstrating your skill and your dedication to the craft you've chosen to pursue. When you learn in public, you do just that; you share your skill development and your work in progress online. Originally from Lagos, Nigeria, today's guest is a frontend developer, content creator, speaker, and conference contributor who advocates for the benefits of learning in public. Gift Egwuenu relocated to the Netherlands in 2020 to begin her journey as a Frontend Engineer at Passionate People, a Javascript-focused consultancy based in Amsterdam. Since then, Gift has gained experience working in various environments, with various people, and in a multitude of frameworks and, in today's episode, she shares some of the pros and cons of learning in public and what it means, from sharing what you're learning on Twitter to creating video tutorials and live streams. We touch on the concept of conference-driven development, self-motivated learning versus audience-driven content, and work-life balance, and we share some of our favorite resources and suggestions for getting started on your learning in public journey! For all this and so much more, including our weekly picks (of course!), make sure not to miss this insightful conversation with Gift Egwuenu! Key Points From This Episode: Introducing Gift Egwuenu and today's topic: learning in public. The concept of conference-driven development and #100DaysOfCode as public learning. Why Gift believes that Twitter isn't necessarily the best forum for public learning. Alternative methods for learning in public, including YouTube videos or Twitch streams. Alex and Tessa share their opposing views on the benefits of seeing learners struggle. How having knowledgeable guests on your stream can be beneficial. Why you get more flexibility from having a specific framing context for public learning. Gift highlights the value of using her edited video content as practice for live streams. Creating audience-driven content versus self-motivated learning in public. How learning in public can engender accountability, according to Tessa. Gift shares the benefits of learning in public, from gaining visibility to community support. The panel reflects on the challenges of maintaining a healthy work-life balance while also learning in public and creating content consistently. Setting boundaries around learning in public without creating extra work for yourself. Some of Gift's favorite resources, including Shawn Wang and Kent C. Dodds. Tips for getting started, from setting yourself up for success to embracing failure. Gift's advice for those who want to try public learning: don't take it too seriously! This week's picks: United Parcel Service, live-action Sweet Home, Sally Rooney, and more! What headphones Gift is currently using and whether or not she likes them. Tweetables: “A lot of people [think], ‘Why would I come out and publicly humiliate myself? Because this is not something that I'm an expert in.' They shy away from doing it, but I like to advocate for [public learning], because of the benefits that it comes with.” — @lauragift_ (https://twitter.com/lauragift_) [0:09:54] “One of the reasons that learning in public is popular is because it can engender accountability.” — @EnjoyTheVueCast (https://twitter.com/enjoythevuecast) [0:22:39] “Job opportunities, getting access to mentors, or just people helping you out is another benefit you get out of [public learning].” — @lauragift_ (https://twitter.com/lauragift_) [0:25:51] “The most important thing is to have fun with it. No one's sponsoring you. No one's paying you to do it. If you're just doing it for the heck of it, have fun with it. Learn however you want to learn. Don't let anybody get you down.” — @EnjoyTheVueCast (https://twitter.com/enjoythevuecast) [0:41:35] “Feel free to ask questions. Feel free to make mistakes. That's definitely the idea of [public learning] in the first place. You're not perfect, so you learn stuff, break stuff, and then you get better at it.” — @lauragift_ (https://twitter.com/lauragift_) [0:43:30] Links Mentioned in Today's Episode: #100DaysOfCode (https://www.100daysofcode.com) Sketchnoting 101 (https://speakerdeck.com/nitya/sketchnoting-101-getting-started-with-visual-storytelling), Nitya Narasimhan Learn With Jason (https://www.learnwithjason.dev) “I hate writing, but loved having written.” —Dorothy Parker Simone Giertz (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3KEoMzNz8eYnwBC34RaKCQ), YouTube Conversations with (https://bookshop.org/books/conversations-with-friends/9780451499066) Friends, Sally Rooney JBL Live 460NC (https://www.jbl.com/over-ear-headphones/LIVE460NC-.html) Where to find Gift Egwuenu online: Twitter: https://twitter.com/lauragift_ Instagram: https://instagram.com/lauragift_ Github: https://github.com/lauragift21 Blog/website: https://www.giftegwuenu.com Other: https://youtube.com/egwuenugift This week's picks: Gift Egwuenu Beautiful World, Where are you, Sally Rooney (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/56597885-beautiful-world-where-are-you) (audiobook) You 3, (Netflix show) (https://www.netflix.com/nl-en/title/80211991) Buildspace.so (https://buildspace.so/), Learn Web3 Alex Atlanta Braves!

(https://ko-fi.com/C0C86NYJW) The focus of today's episode is the tricky role of a solo front-end developer, and we kick things off by sharing some of the experiences we have had working in this configuration. This is a plain and simple show today, without any guests, and our panel gets into some thoughts on the links between front-end dev work and specialization, learning through negative feedback, and the many different levels of accessibility. The conversation also covers how to go about solving problems that reach beyond your scope, and why this can be so hard without a team focusing on the front-end. The consensus seems to be that there is a definite trade-off when working alone versus joining forces and that both scenarios have their advantages. To end things off for today's chat we share a few picks, from TV shows and DIY decor to a new YouTube personality who Tessa thinks is worth checking out! Join us to hear all. Key Points From This Episode: The panel's experiences of working as a lone front-end developer on a team. Front-end development and specialization; we explore how the two are linked.  Bad programming habits and learning what not to do on the job.  The importance of accessibility and the time that goes into the different levels.  Thoughts on solving new, unknown problems with no one else on your team. Finding answers to problems in the treacherous waters of Twitter!  Issues with trackpads, mice, scrollbars, and different browsers. Difficulties with asking the right questions; fear of embarrassment and a lack of vocabulary.   The kind of learning and knowledge accumulation that suits a solo front-end developer.  Final thoughts on the challenges and requirements for working alone on front-end dev.  This week's picks!

Support us on Kofi! (https://ko-fi.com/C0C86NYJW) Design by committee usually has a bad connotation but when it comes to specifying JavaScript, making sure a new feature doesn't break the internet is just too big a task for one person. Today on the show we invite Mark Cohen to talk about what it is like being on the board of TC39, the institution which standardizes the JavaScript language under the ECMAScript specification. We kick things off with some history behind TC39 before diving right into some of the debates around how to implement new features within the committee and the larger JavaScript community. From there, Mark weighs in on the main goal of TC39, that of ensuring cross-browser functionality, talking about why it is such a challenging but necessary project. We also speak to Mark about their current focus of championing the move toward pattern matching in JavaScript, getting into some of the ideas being bounced around as far as syntax and all the possibilities this feature will enable. Our discussion doesn't end there though, as we pick Mark's brain about the processes the TC39 follows for seeing a proposal through from idea to implementation, and also hear about how they adhere to the ‘don't break the web' principle. So for all this and more on Enjoy the Vue, tune in today! Key Points From This Episode: Introducing Mark, their affinity for programming languages, and how they got involved with specifying JavaScript. The origins of JavaScript in the TC39 group created under Ecma International. The role of plenaries at TC39 and how the group comes to decisions via consensus. What the pipe operator is and the different sides in the debate for its syntax. Examples where big contributors to languages felt insulted by communities or decisions. Cool assignment operators like Python's walrus and Rust's turbofish. Whether ‘design by committee' is a bad thing in the case of JavaScript. Mark's perspective that the main goal of the committee is to ensure cross-browser functionality. How TC39 is preventing browser wars using the test 262 suite. The desire for pattern matching in JS and why Mark is championing this. How similar implementing pattern matching in JS would be to reusing switch statements. The intricacies of the syntax and keywords of JS pattern matching and what will be possible. Four phases of TC39 proposals and how they apply the ‘don't break the web' principle. The failed array.prototype.flatten project and what led to the ‘smooshed gate controversy'. Where to find Mark online. This week's picks! Tweetables: “The primary charter of the committee is to make sure that things work across browsers.” — @mpcsh_ (https://twitter.com/mpcsh_) [0:22:12] “Companies still want control of the web and control of the users of the web, right? But there's a lot more protection now. One of the big invisible ways that this happens is a tool that the committee maintains called test 262.” — @mpcsh_ (https://twitter.com/mpcsh_) [0:25:30] “I'm championing the pattern matching proposal.” — @mpcsh_ (https://twitter.com/mpcsh_) [0:27:29] “So that phrase, 'don't break the web' is a common refrain among the committee.

The focus of today's show is the divisive topic of CSS. There are many different opinions on the strengths, weaknesses, and value of CSS, and to explore this in some detail, we are lucky enough to have Josh Comeau join us on our extended panel! One of the strongest messages that comes through from our discussion is the amount of time and effort that CSS requires you to invest, to reap its benefits. And while not every developer will agree to this exchange, it is hard to argue that certain parts of CSS can make this a worthwhile endeavor. We talk about the ever-increasing complexity of CSS and how this has occurred over time as the language has been added to. We also get into our favorite parts and features, looking at variables, current color, and a whole lot more. So, to hear it all from our team and our great guest, Josh Comeau, be sure to listen in with us today, on Enjoy the Vue! Key Points From This Episode: Opening remarks about CSS and thoughts on overcoming its challenges. How continually adding to the CSS language has increased its complexity over time.  Weighing the best and worst additions to CSS: exciting features and things that have not worked so well.  The original intentions for CSS and its place among other tools for web development.  The difficulties with improving your CSS skills and the issue of the lack of error messages.  Favorite CSS properties: current color, variables, tricks, and more!  The infinite possibilities of tooltips. Tackling the issues of absolute positioning through spending time with them.  Comparing the different web browsers and the most frustrating bugs. Questions of specificity and the hidden mechanisms around sufficient information.   Top recommendations for getting better at CSS and Josh's helpful course!  The availability of great tools and finding the ones that work for you.   This week's pics: the new MacBook Pro, Remarkable Tablet, Sweet Home, and more! Tweetables: “I started trying to really understand CSS. I really, really enjoy the language now. It's become probably my favorite part of doing web development.” — @JoshWComeau (https://twitter.com/JoshWComeau) [0:05:55] “I do think that right now is an incredibly exciting time to be a CSS person because so many amazing things are right on the horizon." — @JoshWComeau (https://twitter.com/JoshWComeau) [0:11:30] “That's what leads to that feeling that CSS is unpredictable and inconsistent. It's not. It's just that if you only have one of the puzzle pieces, of course, it's not going to seem consistent.” — @JoshWComeau (https://twitter.com/JoshWComeau) [0:40:29] Links Mentioned in Today's Episode: Table Caption (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/caption) Rachel Andrew (https://rachelandrew.co.uk) Firefox Developer Tools (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Tools) Improve SMIL "Parsing timing specifiers" instructions #722 (https://github.com/w3c/svgwg/issues/722), Oscar Spencer (W3) CSS SpeciFISHity (https://specifishity.com), Estelle Weyl Stacking Contexts (https://www.joshwcomeau.com/css/stacking-contexts), Josh Comeau CSS Stacking Context inspector (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/css-stacking-context-insp/apjeljpachdcjkgnamgppgfkmddadcki), Andrea Dragotta (Chrome Extension) Debug your website in 3D (https://youtu.be/BZAH8ZXhHZA), Edge Dev Team Learn CSS (https://web.dev/learn/css), Google Glamorous (https://kentcdodds.com/blog/introducing-glamorous), Kent C.

With the release of Vue 3, developers now have access to the Composition API, a new way to write Vue components. This API allows features to be grouped together logically, rather than having to organize single-file components by function. Using the Composition API can lead to more readable code, and gives developers more flexibility and scalability when developing their applications, which signals a bright future for Vue. At least, this is what today's guest believes! Today, we speak with Oscar Spencer, developer at Tidelift and co-author of the Grain programming language, about Vue's Composition API and why he believes it represents great things for Vue. We touch on Options API, our opinions of a template-first approach, and why Composition API is infinitely better than Mixins, as well as how JavaScript can prepare developers for Options API and what to watch out for when you first start working with Composition API in Vue. All this plus this week's picks and so much more when you tune in today! Key Points From This Episode: An introduction to today's guest, Oscar Spencer. The panel shares what sound their Slack makes when they receive a new message. Oscar shares his personal passion for the Vue Composition API. Why he believes that Vue's bright future includes the options API too. Why Composition API represents great things for the future of Vue.

Oscar and the panel weigh in on taking a template-first approach  Discover Oscar's situational approach to composables when reusing business logic. Composition API versus Mixins and why Oscar believes Composition API is superior. Whether Options API or Composition API is easier to teach to a beginner developer. How JavaScript prepares developers for Options API, which Oscar describes as ‘cozy'. Oscar on how to know when to use Composition API versus Options API. Why you would choose Composition API over simply using JavaScript: reactivity. The panel shares some of the longest Vue components they have worked on. Render functions in Vue and Oscar's perspective on React versus Vue. What to look out for if you're new to Composition API; not understanding Vue's reactivity. Why the coolest thing Oscar has done in Vue is write a backend using the reactivity API. This week's picks: Only Murders in the Building, The Artful Escape, Dyson Sphere Program, The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles, and more! Tweetables: “When I look at the Composition API, I see a very bright future for Vue.” — @oscar_spen (https://twitter.com/oscar_spen) [0:02:22] “The Composition API just gets rid of a whole host of issues that you have with Mixins. In fact, Mixins were my only complaint in Vue 2.” — @oscar_spen (https://twitter.com/oscar_spen) [0:24:05] “Don't be too scared of the [Composition API]. It was definitely designed with composition in mind. It was designed for you to have your composables consuming composables and not blowing up the world – [while] being fairly easy to follow as well.” — @oscar_spen (https://twitter.com/oscar_spen) [0:27:34] “Regular JavaScript modules only get you so far because, fundamentally, what these regular JavaScript modules are missing is the reactivity. What the Composition API is letting us do is compose things that are reactive.” — @oscar_spen (https://twitter.com/oscar_spen) [0:41:44] “By far the biggest gotcha with the Composition API is not understanding Vue's reactivity. That's going to be the biggest gotcha that you can possibly run into. I highly recommend, instead of trying to wing it, just go look at a tutorial.” — @oscar_spen (https://twitter.com/oscar_spen) [0:57:02] Links Mentioned in Today's Episode: Vue-oxford (https://www.npmjs.com/package/vue-oxford) Unconventional Vue - Vue as a Backend Framework (https://www.vuemastery.com/conferences/vueconf-us-2020/unconventional-vue-vue-as-a-backend-framework), Oscar Spencer (VueConf US 2020) AITA for being mad at my parents for decorating my first house without my consent?

This Episode is sponsored by Cloudflare Workers (https://enjoythevue.io/cloudflare-workers) Join us today as we talk to Ash Ryan Arnwine (developer experience leader for DataStax) about Getting Started Guides. Ash takes us through his experience with Vue, and how the guides in Vue 1 were the North Star for him when he was working with Adobe Creative Cloud. We discuss the challenges in migrating from different versions, and the downsides to Getting Started videos in place of text. Find out how keeping Ash's four-year-old daughter from sleeping is the highest praise the Vue team has received, and what each of the team feels is better: prescriptive or flexible guides. From picking the correct level to pitch your instructions at, to the different types of people defined as “developers”, you don't want to miss out on this information-packed episode! Key Points From This Episode: Welcome to Ash Ryan Arnwine, developer experience leader for DataStax and previously, Adobe Creative Cloud. Ash's introduction to Vue and why it became the North Star for thinking about writing documentation.  What makes the path from getting started to building an app clear.  Finding the balance between prescriptive and “sprinkling in some HTML” in Vue.  How Vue has a background framework beyond the beginner's instructions. The importance of being able to access the full app code on GitHub. Picking the level of developer that your Getting Started Guide caters to (sometimes the middle-ground is the worst place to be). Why you need to maintain your Getting Started Guide. How to highlight important information that people might skip when reading the Getting Started Guide.  The challenges of migrating from Vue 2 to Vue 3, and communicating it to users. Why it's crucial to make a roadmap of where the app is going. How Vue's completely honest self-appraisal won Ash over.  Why videos are less appealing than documents about Getting Started.  The naming conventions for Vue. Creating a community to talk about “software things” in different places.  How to contact Ash. Discover this week's picks from each of the team! Tweetables: “For a long time, I think Vue sort of became, in some ways, a North star for me personally, when thinking about documentation, and how do you orient somebody into a completely new technology.” — @ashryan_io (https://twitter.com/ashryan_io?lang=en) [0:02:12] “One thing that I've learned over time with just in leading developer relations and developer experience is that oftentimes, it's the sample code that turns into the most popular resource.” — @ashryan_io (https://twitter.com/ashryan_io?lang=en) [0:25:41] “Oftentimes, I think that the imperative is just like help people get started, help people get started, and we don't get a chance to step back and think, 'Okay, who are the people?

This episode is sponsored by Clouflare Pages! (https://enjoythevue.io/cloudflare-pages) This week, The Enjoy the Vue panel digs into the topic of asynchronous event loops: how it can save you time, but also how it can trip you up. Asynchronous update queues are an efficient way for platforms like Vue to save time and energy by recognizing a group of similar commands and doing a batch run at the same point in time. We get into event loops, how the term ‘next tick' came about, and how synchronous stacking can cause a Stack Overflow Error. You'll also hear some of our favorite terminal commands, including a special tidbit on how to say ‘please' to your computer! Lastly, we share our picks of the week that will add joy, intrigue, and deliciousness to your life, so make sure you tune in to hear it all! Key Points From This Episode: Introducing today's topic: asynchronous event loop in JavaScript. An asynchronous update queue and why Vue uses one. Why an asynchronous update queue is so efficient. How an asynchronous update queue can also sometimes cause problems. Where the term ‘next tick' originated and how it is applied today. A breakdown of event loops and stack heaps. Tessa shares her understanding of blocking. Why a blocking operation is synchronous. Alex explains what the heap is and how items transition to the stack. Recursive functions and the stack overflow error message. The team shares their favorite terminal commands. Hear our picks for the week, which include gourmet sour gummies, intriguing portraits, and a fascinating new board game!  Tweetables: “When you make a change to your data in Vue, it doesn't happen right away because that would potentially be inefficient. What it does is it groups all the changes together and then batch runs through them at a set point in time. That's the queue that they all get added to.” — @EnjoyTheVueCast (https://twitter.com/EnjoyTheVueCast) [0:02:04] “Basically, it's like doing your math without showing the work. That's what Vue does. Teachers love it.” — @EnjoytheVueCast (https://twitter.com/EnjoyTheVueCast) [0:03:20?] “My understanding is that blocking doesn't mean it never happens. It's just like I'm going to save all of these user interactions until the next time that the queue is free. Then, I'm going to jam all of them in there. You're going to get all 500 clicks in one second.” — @EnjoytheVueCast (https://twitter.com/EnjoyTheVueCast) [0:18:25] “There is this nebulous event that may or may not happen. When it happens, that click, that event doesn't necessarily fire immediately. It gets put on the end of the event queue, the event loop queue.” — @EnjoytheVueCast (https://twitter.com/EnjoyTheVueCast) [0:19:16] Links Mentioned in Today's Episode: repl.it (http://repl.it) Back to the Vueture: Stuck in the Event Loop (https://www.vuemastery.com/conferences/vueconf-us-2019/back-to-the-vueture-stuck-in-the-event-loop), tessa (VueConf US 2019) * What the heck is the event loop anyway?

This week's episode is sponsored by Cloudflare Workers (https://enjoythevue.io/cloudflare-workers)! Have you ever wished that Vue was smaller? We know we have. Petite-Vue is an astonishing 5.5KB, which is so small, it's almost invisible. Dave Rupert, a developer at Paravel, joins us today to discuss all things Petite-Vue. We hear how this smaller version was released, and Dave shares what his experience of using it has been like. Often, when a framework is more compact, there are tradeoffs or sacrifices users have to make, but this does not seem to be the case with Petite-Vue. We talk about Alpine, how Petite-Vue is different, and we also get stuck into the use cases for Petite-Vue. Dave shares one of his totally wild ideas, which, naturally, Alex is all over. Our wide-ranging conversation also touches on interviews and what needs to change with them, templates and styles, and as usual, we wrap up with everyone's picks for the week. Tune in to hear it all! Key Points From This Episode: Get to know today's guest, Dave Rupert. Everyone's take on how they would feel if Vue was five kilobytes. The story of how Petite-Vue came to be released. Dave's experience of using Alpine and some of the challenges he had with this. What the jump from Vue to Petite-Vue is like. Hear about the idea that Dave runs past Alex. Some other great use cases for Petite-Vue. Unpacking the broken coding interview system; things need to change. Questioning some obscure hiring requirements. The framework Dave uses given that he works in an agency. In business, frameworks can become politicized and sites for contention. Things other people do that make everyone believe they are monsters. Diving into the world of template style and script. Where you can find Dave online to tell him how wrong he is about all his choices. Everyone's picks for this week; there are some great ones! Tweetables: “I think five kilobytes is the perfect stealth technology, like Alex is talking about that you can kind of sneak it into a project and no one's going to go, ‘Hey, hey, hey, what's going on now? I didn't approve this.'” — @davatron5000 (https://twitter.com/davatron5000?lang=en) [0:02:54] “I was kind of a late bloomer I guess for Vue but I just was like, you know, I think the more I've used Vue, the more it has all the features I like.” — @davatron5000 (https://twitter.com/davatron5000?lang=en) [0:37:36] “I'm just saying if you drop the opening curly brace on a four loop, you're a monster.” — @davatron5000 (https://twitter.com/davatron5000?lang=en) [0:47:58] Links Mentioned in Today's Episode: My petite-vue Review (https://daverupert.com/2021/07/petite-vue-review), Dave Rupert Evan You's petite-vue preview (https://twitter.com/youyuxi/status/1410759893359874050), Twitter Angie Jones (https://twitter.com/techgirl1908), Twitter Twitter: davatron5000 (http://twitter.com/davatron5000) Website: daverupert.com (http://daverupert.com) Mini Motorways (https://dinopoloclub.com/games/mini-motorways/), Dinosaur Polo Club (Apple Arcade, Steam) Bubble (https://bookshop.org/books/bubble-9781250245564/9781250245564), Morris, Morgan, Cliff, Riess  Chester's Cheddar Flavored Paws Cheese Flavored Snacks (https://www.kroger.com/p/chester-s-cheddar-flavored-paws-cheese-flavored-snacks/0002840056426) Bat,bat Black Coffee Soda (https://www.batbatsoda.com/shop/black-coffee-soda) Special (https://www.netflix.com/title/80987458), Netflix The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles (https://www.ace-attorney.com/great1-2), Capcom (Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Steam) Special Guest: Dave Rupert.

This week's episode is sponsored by Cloudflare Pages (https://enjoythevue.io/cloudflare-pages)! Laurie Barth, or Laurie on Tech as she is well-known in the dev industry, is a software engineer who started as a mathematician, currently working as a Senior Software Engineer at Netflix. Additionally, Laurie is a content creator and technical educator across various mediums. She is also a frequent conference speaker, speaking at events across the globe, and a technical blogger contributing to publications such as CSS Tricks, Smashing Magazine, and A List Apart, as well as an active member of the TC39 Educator's committee and a Google Developer Expert. In today's episode, we share some of our more memorable job interview experiences, both good and bad, but mostly terrible, and we dive into how those experiences could be improved upon, starting with the company setting realistic expectations for potential candidates from the beginning. We also touch on unnecessary and unfair technical demonstrations, the value of affording candidates the option to show themselves in their best light, and the inherent biases that exist when interview panels aren't diverse, and Laurie highlights the power that candidates actually have given the shortage of engineers making this appeal to listeners: take some of that power back! Tune in today for all this and so much more, including, of course, our weekly picks. Key Points From This Episode: Laurie shares a terrible technical interview that stands out from her experience. Why a generic interview format very rarely makes sense for any company. Why companies need to set their expectations at the beginning of the interview. The importance of recognizing how much time it takes to develop a technical interview. Why you can't steal an interview from elsewhere rather than writing one yourself. The value of judging what is important based on the signal a company is looking for. Alex talks about one of the more memorable (read: terrible) interviews he has been through. Ari reflects on a pair programming interview that she describes as ‘interesting'. The pressure that is put onto incoming developers to demonstrate their technical skills when it isn't necessary for the role they will fill. Laurie emphasizes why companies should be looking for someone to augment their team. Why it's not about working with people ‘smarter' than you, but people you can learn from. Laurie's frustration with the use of trivia questions and the benefits of offering candidates options to present themselves in their best light. Tessa's turn to share her experience with a terrible interview that featured live UI coding. The disconnect that exists between hiring managers, recruiters, and candidates. Laurie highlights the power that candidates hold given the shortage of engineers and urges listeners to take that power back. What Ari calls ‘douchebag alert' questions, how people answer, and what it says about them. The gender bias that typically exists when interview panels aren't gender diverse. Why it's important for team members to meet potential candidates and vice versa. Tessa shares the acronym, REACTO: repeat, example, approach, code, test, optimize. How interviews tend to cater towards those who are extroverted, outgoing, and talkative. Laurie highlights some positive interview experiences and what companies can do better. Alex shares a tip about asking the same question of everybody, such as “what is the focus of your company?” Tweetables: “People can't read your mind. You need to preface, you need to set your expectations at the beginning [of the interview].” — @laurieontech (https://twitter.com/laurieontech) [0:07:45] “I want to work with people who are smarter than I am, but here's the trip: everyone is smarter than I am. It depends what the measuring stick is and what category we're talking about.” — @laurieontech (https://twitter.com/laurieontech) [0:26:51] “The goal of an interview, in my mind, should be for people to show you what they know instead of what they don't know. If you're giving people options, you are giving them the opportunity to present themselves in their absolute [best light].” — @laurieontech (https://twitter.com/laurieontech) [0:29:59] “Right now, in this moment in time, unless you are an entry level candidate, the candidates have all the power. There's such a shortage of engineers. I would like to see people taking that power back a little bit.” — @laurieontech (https://twitter.com/laurieontech) [0:38:41] “Interviews, pretty much no matter what you do, will always somewhat cater to people who are extroverted and outgoing and talkative. The only way I challenge that is I think people who can't communicate about their code at all are probably not great engineers.” — @laurieontech (https://twitter.com/laurieontech) [0:48:47] Links Mentioned in Today's Episode: laurieontech.com (https://laurieontech.com) @laurieontech on Twitter (twitter.com/laurieontech) Fortnite (Windows, macOS, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, iOS, Android) (https://www.epicgames.com/fortnite/en-US/home) LEGO (https://www.lego.com/) Wingspan (https://stonemaiergames.com/games/wingspan/) (Boardgame) Heal & Glow Facial Serum (https://www.shopplantbasedbeauty.com/shop-our-store/organic-heal-and-glow-facial-serum) How Not to Be Wrong (https://bookshop.org/books/how-not-to-be-wrong-the-power-of-mathematical-thinking/9780143127536), Jordan Ellenberg Special Guest: Laurie Barth.

Where in that loop does it fit to get all of that data?” — @JasonEtco (https://twitter.com/jasonetco?lang=en) [0:19:57] “If you build your automation tool in an inflexible way, you'll really regret it later.” — @JasonEtco (https://twitter.com/jasonetco?lang=en) [0:27:13] Links Mentioned in Today's Episode: * ProBot (https://probot.io) * Github Feedback (https://github.com/github/feedback) * Alex Tweets at Nat (https://twitter.com/fimion/status/1425886335391473664) * StandardJS (https://standardjs.com/) * Jason on Twitter (https://twitter.com/JasonEtco) * Jason's Website (https://jasonet.co) * Wyze Camera (https://wyze.com/wyze-cam.html) * She-Ra and the Princesses of Power (Netflix (https://www.netflix.com/title/80179762)) * Marple (puzzle game) (https://apps.apple.com/us/app/marple/id288689440) * VSCode in the browser (https://twitter.com/notdetails/status/1425506229401657353), Joel Califa * The Matrix (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0133093) * @EnjoyTheVueCats (https://twitter.com/EnjoyTheVueCats) Special Guest: Jason Etcovitch.

The increasing volume of the societal discussion on mental health is blooming into a variety of results. One of the interesting aspects of these developments are apps aimed at helping users with their self-care and mental health management and, today, we have a conversation about a new mobile app called Whimser, which is doing exactly that! We are joined by their founder and CTO, Rahat Chowdhury, who speaks to us about the startup, its roots in CBT or cognitive behavioral therapy, and how they approach using journaling to combat negative thought patterns and cognitive distortions. Rahat explains how the application is not designed as a replacement for therapy but rather as a tool to enhance practices that users already have in place, offering continuity and opportunities for further reflection. Rahat also explains a little bit about how the company is currently being run and the leadership philosophies that ground what they do. He strongly believes in bringing a human element into the work, and shares the interesting decision to bring in junior developers from the get-go and the motivations behind this. For this fascinating conversation with an inspiring young founder and developer doing important and conscientious work, make sure to tune in! Key Points From This Episode: A little bit about Rahat and the two companies he is involved with. Understanding cognitive behavioral therapy and cognitive distortions. Experiences of imposter syndrome and the ubiquity of these feelings across the industry.   Rahat's inspiration for creating Whimser and adding to the mental health conversation.   Considerations around broadening the scope of Whimser beyond therapy.  How Rahat approached things at the outset and how he chose his co-founders.   The importance of taking action and balancing this with patience and delegation. Rahat's approach to code reviews and the consideration that goes into better communication practices.   The impetus behind the decision to bring in early-stage developers at the beginning.    Lessons that Rahat has learned from working with different team leads during his career.  Decisions around salaries at Whimser; how Rahat and his co-founders are funding the company at this point. Translating skills as a web developer into the world of mobile applications. The funding component of running a startup; Rahat's thoughts on effective pitching.  Data collection considerations and the idea of user-owned and licensed data.    The inspiration for the name of the company: combining whimsy and whisper! This week's picks: Litter robots, Focusmate, headphones, new songs, and more. Tweetables: “We do stuff like having some natural language processing in the background that helps you categorize your thoughts into what could be potential cognitive distortions to help you set yourself up to figure out how to combat those thoughts.” — @Rahatcodes (https://twitter.com/Rahatcodes) [0:02:14] “Trying to create a better atmosphere or a better community around tech will definitely help out in fighting imposter syndrome.” — @Rahatcodes (https://twitter.com/Rahatcodes) [0:06:37] “Whimser started from when I started taking better care of my own mental health. I started going to therapy and treating my depression, and a few other things.” — @Rahatcodes (https://twitter.com/Rahatcodes) [0:09:46] Links Mentioned in Today's Episode: Rahat on Twitter (https://twitter.com/Rahatcodes) Rahat on Github (https://github.com/Rahat-ch) Rahat on Polywork (https://www.polywork.com/rahat) Rahat's Blog/website (https://www.rahat.dev) Whimser (https://www.whimser.io) VirtualCoffee (https://virtualcoffee.io) meetup Focusmate (https://www.focusmate.com) Litter Robot (https://www.litter-robot.com/litter-robot-3.html) Night owl t-shirt (https://twitter.com/jlengstorf/status/1292829476179517441) A-O-K (https://youtu.be/vFimC3To0MU), Tai Verdes Deja Vu (https://youtu.be/cii6ruuycQA), Olivia Rodrigo Special Guest: Rahat Chowdhury.

You're just rolling all the stuff in. It feels cleaner somehow.” — @EnjoyTheVueCast [0:15:58] - “This whole thing feels very exciting in a very weird way. Because I feel I'm more familiar with this non-existent Vuex 5 than I am with the existing Vuex 3 that I've been using for the past few years.” — @EnjoyTheVueCast [0:28:43] - “This is a really, really big change in how things work” — @EnjoyTheVueCast [0:36:11] Links Mentioned in Today's Episode: - Vuex 5 RFC (https://github.com/kiaking/rfcs/blob/vuex-5/active-rfcs/0000-vuex-5.md) - The State of Vuex at VueJS Global (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ajGglyQQD0k), Kia King (VueJS Global) - Flux (https://facebook.github.io/flux) - Redux (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redux_(JavaScript_library)) - 7 secret patterns Vue consultants don't want you to know, Chris Fritz (VueConf US 2018) (https://www.vuemastery.com/conferences/vueconf-us-2018/7-secret-patterns-vue-consultants-dont-want-you-to-know-chris-fritz) - Frostbeard Studio (https://www.frostbeardstudio.com/) - WandaVision (https://www.disneyplus.com/series/wandavision/4SrN28ZjDLwH), Disney+ - mask chains (Etsy) (https://www.etsy.com/search?q=mask+chain)

Overview: Testing isn’t something that many people enjoy doing, but Jessica Sachs is an exception. Jessica is the tech lead on the component testing team (which spans across four time zones and is fluent in 8 languages) at Cypress, and she is so excited about the developments that have been taking place in this space. In today’s episode Jessica explains the four main steps involved in component testing, the first thing she does when making something testable and why your answer should always be a hard yes if you are asked whether you do TDD. Jessica is also writing a course for Vue Mastery, and she shares with us what the course entails and how it will help alleviate a problem that people in her position regularly encounter. You’ll also hear Jessica and the panels’ thoughts on XPath, E to E tests, and Internet Explorer, and we end off with a wide range of unusual picks for the week! Key Points From This Episode: - How Jessica and the panel feel about test writing. - Jessica’s current role at Cypress.io, and the most euphoric moment of her career. - The four steps involved in component testing. - Real World Testing; an explanation of the course Jessica is writing for Vue Mastery. - A common problem that testers encounter. - Why Jessica doesn’t mock the Vuex, router or any plugin. - The first thing Jessica does when making something testable. - Making code more testable; what Jessica looks for. - Approaches to writing E to E tests. - Why XPath was invented and why it’s such a mess. - Jessica’s first code language (an obscure one that she is proud of!). - One of the toughest interview questions Jessica has been asked. - What your answer should always be when someone asks, “Do you do TDD?” - Where the strength of Cypress component testing lies. - Diversity in Jessica’s team. - Why Cypress isn’t going to support Internet Explorer. - This week’s picks; including drunk darts, anti-static hair brushes, and a show about creating animals. Tweetables: - “Getting the component first mounted is the biggest hurdle. I can't stress that enough.” — @jessicasachs [0:05:13] - “The situation you find yourself in is that of many developers, where you inherit an application where the person wasn't thinking about testability. And that's not an uncommon scenario. That's pretty normal.” — @jessicasachs [0:11:32] - “I don't mock the Vuex router, the Vuex or router, or any plugin. I just treat it like it's real. I find that mocking both removes you from what will actually happen in production, as well as makes your test really coupled to the source code.” — @jessicasachs [0:13:15] - “The first thing with making things testable; anything that's a side effect that executes immediately when you import it needs to be a function.” — @jessicasachs [0:15:28] Resources mentioned - Cypress (https://www.cypress.io/) - Vueconf US (http://vueconf.us/) - New Creation Soda (https://newcreationsoda.com) - Brush with Bamboo (https://zerowastestore.com/products/bamboo-hair-brush) (ZeroWasteStore) - Gravity Maze: Falling Marble Logic Maze Game (https://www.thinkfun.com/products/gravity-maze), ThinkFun - Clubhouse Games (Nintendo Switch) (https://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/clubhouse-games-51-worldwide-classics-switch/) - Vue Mastery (https://www.vuemastery.com/) - Vue Styleguidist (https://vue-styleguidist.github.io/) - Vue i18n (https://vue-i18n.intlify.dev/) - What Query Selector Should I Use?, Kent C.

Key Points From This Episode: - An introduction to today’s special guest, Lachlan Miller. - Given the hypothetical opportunity to test only one thing about an app, Ben, Tessa, and Lachlan weigh in. - Lachlan suggests doing a screenshot test of the application using a tool like Percy. - Hear about the distinction between screenshot tests and snapshot tests. - The panel reflects on whether developers should test their own code or have a QA team assume that responsibility. - The spectrum of testing, from end-to-end to the more fine-grained and individual unit tests. - Learn about Testing Library Vue, a recently popular alternative to a library like Cypress. - The benefits of having accessibility testing built in, for both developers and users. - How to decide where your priorities lie based on which tests you focus on. - Lachlan explains how he uses unit tests to drive development while end-to-end tests function more like a quality tool. - How you can use the Pareto effect to make these decisions as a developer: how can you put in 20 percent effort for 80 percent output? - Some of the panel’s favorite resources and methodologies for writing Vuex tests. Tweetables: - “If we think of testing as not just the developer's responsibility but everyone’s responsibility, it's about quality assurance and confidence. Everyone in the organization wants to be involved in the quality of their product, which is why visual tests can be very useful.” — @Lachlan19900 [0:05:31] - “If you are interested in the more end-to-end tests but you don't want to spin up a full browser, I would definitely recommend checking out Testing Library Vue, which is running on top of Vue Test Utils.” — @Lachlan19900 [0:15:45] - “The most important thing is you are confident in your app. Everyone's going to have a different version of confidence, but if you have a feature and if it breaks and it would cause a bad thing to happen to your business, you probably want to have a test around that.” — @Lachlan19900 [0:19:56] - “A good rule of thumb is the more you can test your application or your apps in a production-like manner, it's going to be better.” — @Lachlan19900 [0:30:36] Resources mentioned: - Lachlan Miller on Twitter (https://twitter.com/Lachlan19900) - Lachlan Miller on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCydNBt-h2Cox_Ub_GzspneQ) - Lachlan Miller on GitHub (https://github.com/lmiller1990/) - Lachlan Miller (https://lachlan-miller.me/) - Vue Test Utils (https://github.com/vuejs/vue-test-utils) - Design Patterns for Vue.js (https://gumroad.com/l/BPKzQ) - Cypress (https://www.cypress.io/) - Percy (https://percy.io/) - Testing Library (https://testing-library.com/) - Vuetify (https://vuetifyjs.com/en/) - Enjoy the Vue on Twitter (https://twitter.com/enjoythevuecast?lang=en) - Enjoy the Vue (https://enjoythevue.io/) Special Guest: Lachlan Miller.

Tweetables: - “I want people to see what it’s like when an engineer actually sits down to work because you almost never just sit down and code for two minutes and get something working. You code for two minutes and you get stuck. Then you read some docs and then you try something else.” — @lizcodes [0:06:49] - “I use my platform to talk about issues I think are important, because I feel it’s not worth it to have a platform if I’m not going to try to educate people or create a space to share issues. I don’t believe in apolitical spaces.” — @lizcodes [0:16:38] - “I have a goal to try to create a no-gatekeeping environment.” — @lizcodes [0:24:48] Picks Liz's picks: - ADHD Alien by Pina Varnel (http://adhd-alien.com/) and ADHD Comics by Dani Donovan (https://www.adhddd.com/) (Web Comics) - Knitting (https://www.knitpicks.com/kits/learn-to-knit-kits/c/300821), keeping my hands busy and my mind focused during meetings and videos - Kobo (https://us.kobobooks.com/products/kobo-libra-h2o), a super quality e-ink e-reader that isn't Amazon! - TCP/IP Illustrated (https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/tcpip-illustrated/020163354X/) (Book) for learning better about how the internet works (unfortunately I think the only place to get this book at the moment is Amazon or a subscription to O'Rilley books) - Queens Majesty Hot Sauce (https://queenmajestyhotsauce.com/products/queen-majesty-2-oz-sampler) (Hot Sauce) Resources Mentioned in Today’s Episode: - Liz Phillips on Twitter (https://twitter.com/lizcodes) - Liz Phillips on Twitch (https://www.twitch.tv/illuminatedspace) - Nanette (https://www.netflix.com/title/80233611), Hannah Gadsby (Netflix) - Raspberry Pi Pico (https://www.raspberrypi.org/products/raspberry-pi-pico) - Baba Is You (https://hempuli.com/baba) (Computer, Nintendo Switch) - May I Screw Up Your Life?: The Official Guide to Ludi-Q's (https://bookshop.org/books/may-i-screw-up-your-life-the-official-guide-to-ludi-q-s-9781616235529/9781616235529), Jan Black - Twitch (http://twitch.tv) - OBS (https://obsproject.com) - Twitch 101 Thread (https://twitter.com/lizcodes/status/1241153715710631936) - Yik Yak (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yik_Yak) - Deaddrop Repo - Gatsby (https://www.gatsbyjs.com) - Netlify (https://www.netlify.com) - Galaxy Buds Live Eartip | Free Eartip (ENG) (https://youtu.be/Pm1zvVjdRQc), ZUYONI TECH (YouTube) - Enjoy the Vue on Twitter (https://twitter.com/enjoythevuecast) - Enjoy the Vue (https://enjoythevue.io) Special Guest: Liz Phillips.

Key Points From This Episode: - Get to know today's guest, Evan You. - Hear what Evan’s other project, Vite, is all about and the various features it has. - The biggest change with Vite 2 is that it is now framework agnostic. - What inspired the change to make Vite 2 more framework agnostic and the benefits of the shift. - The difference between working on Vue and building a new framework-agnostic build tool. - Balancing high configurability and being overly opinionated; Vite sits somewhere in between. - How Evan keeps his finger on the pulse of other frameworks and how he's changed Vue accordingly. - Insights into Vite's new plugin system and what inspired it. - The decision-making behind drawing inspiration from Rollup's plugin. - Evan’s thoughts about Vite and Rollup plugins and what this means in the context of Vue. - Some of the ideas Evan hopes to bring back to Vue after working on Vite. - Challenges come with wide adoption, but Evan is still grateful for the active community and what they are creating. - Changes that have happened with VitePress; Evan's experience. - The current VuePress landscape and why Evan does not want VitePress to replace it. - Plans to make Vite the default way of doing things on Vue CLI; Evan weighs in. - The challenge Evan has when switching between Vue and Vite. - What Vite's development process looked like; Evan had to learn lots along the way! - When you are working on something new, with not much precedent, it is never going to be a straightforward process - You have to try to put yourself in other developers’ shoes to understand the range of issues that exist. - Plans for a Vite RFC process and what is in the pipeline on that front. - The pre-bundling changes that have happened with Vite 2 have contributed to better speed. - Deciding what to bundle: insights into Evan's thinking. - Asking the controversial question: when is Vite 2 going to be released? - Evan's thoughts on using only Composition AI and not Vuex. - Music Evan listens to while coding and where to find him online. - Alex's pick for the week: Fruity Pebbles Crisps, both delicious and horrifying! - Evan's pick for the week: Curse of the Dead Gods and Hades. - Tessa's pick for the week: So You Want to Talk About Race, Birdy the Mighty Recode, and her electronic soap dispenser. - Following up from previous picks we have talked about. Tweetables: - “The biggest change with Vite 2 is that it's now framework agnostic, so it's not just Vue specific, it works equally well for most of the other frameworks people want to use.” — @youyuxi [0:02:56] - “With Vite, because it's a new thing, I can be as opinionated as I want. it's a new area of exploration, where I’m not confined to the existing decisions we've made.” — @youyuxi [0:08:21] - “Compared to Vue, the workload on Vite is still somewhat OK. If we build up more community members to help triage the issues, can contribute PRs, and maybe even build up some maintainers to handle the daily patch releases, that would be a good place for me, so that I can just overlook the higher-level decisions and only tune into specific decisions when I need to.” — @youyuxi [0:40:18] - “This whole process is a constant discovering new ideas, trying it out, realizing it doesn't work, and then trying something else. it's never going to be a straight-line process.” — @youyuxi [0:44:03] Resources mentioned: - Evan You (https://evanyou.me/) - Evan You on LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/in/evanyou) - Evan You on GitHub (https://github.com/yyx990803) - Evan You on Twitter (https://twitter.com/youyuxi?ref_src=twsrc%255Egoogle%257Ctwcamp%255Eserp%257Ctwgr%255Eauthor) - Ionic Vue (https://ionicframework.com/docs/vue/overview) - Jason Miller (https://www.linkedin.com/in/developit) - webpack (https://webpack.js.org/) - VuePress (https://vuepress.vuejs.org/) - Vue CLI (https://cli.vuejs.org/) - ALGTR (https://www.instagram.com/lexieliu_/?hl=en) - New Fruity Pebbles Crisps (https://www.simplemost.com/new-fruity-pebbles-crisps-are-big-potato-chips/) - Curse of the Dead Gods (https://www.focus-home.com/games/curse-of-the-dead-gods) - Hades (https://store.steampowered.com/app/1145360/Hades/) - So You Want to Talk About Race (https://bookshop.org/books/so-you-want-to-talk-about-race/9781580058827) - Minor Feelings (https://bookshop.org/books/minor-feelings-an-asian-american-reckoning/9781984820365) - Tetsuwan Birdy Decode (https://myanimelist.net/anime/3974/Tetsuwan_Birdy_Decode) - Panel de Pon (https://panepon.fandom.com/wiki/Panel_de_Pon_(SFC)) - SoSplush (https://www.etsy.com/shop/SoSplush) - Enjoy the Vue on Twitter (https://twitter.com/enjoythevuecast?lang=en) - Enjoy the Vue (https://enjoythevue.io/) Special Guest: Evan You.

Overview - How v-bind lets you dynamically swap out attribute values. - Exploring the scenarios where you would most likely use v-bind. - V-bind scenarios where you would avoid writing in shorthand. - Using v-bind versus individually declaring each object. - The workflow benefits of setting base components. - The pros and cons of declarative code and when it’s best to v-bind singular attributes. - Hear about v-bind differences between Vue 2 and Vue 3. - We debate the merits of giving child attributes the ability to override their parent attributes. - Why being able to add comments in Vue would be such a useful feature. - From Blinkest to Draw Stronger, hear about our picks of the week. Tweetables: - “Declarative code is best when you write it out and it's easy for people to follow. When written as shorthand, v-bind can obfuscate that.” — @EnjoyTheVueCast [0:12:21] - “I’m not used to a lot of decision-making being yielded to the template. So it's surprising to me that something like the order of attributes would be something that the template is responsible for.” — @EnjoyTheVueCast [0:23:34] - “Software is an iterative process. Always check the docs for the latest updates because sometimes we are human when we make these design decisions.” — @EnjoyTheVueCast [0:30:00] Links Mentioned in Today’s Episode: - v-bind Merge Behavior (https://v3.vuejs.org/guide/migration/v-bind.html#frontmatter-title) - RFC: v-bind merge strategy modifier (https://github.com/vuejs/rfcs/pull/215) - Blinkist (https://www.blinkist.com/) - SparkNotes (https://www.sparknotes.com/) - Obsidian (https://obsidian.md/) - Night Owl VS Code (https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=sdras.night-owl) - Draw Stronger: Self-Care for Cartoonists & Visual Artists, Kriota Willberg (https://bookshop.org/books/draw-stronger-self-care-for-cartoonists-and-other-visual-artists/9781941250235) - XeraCalm A.D (https://www.aveneusa.com/xeracalm-lipid-replenishing-cream) - Avene (https://www.aveneusa.com/) - Mermaid Hair Oil (https://captainblankenship.com/products/mermaid-hair-oil) - Captain Blankenship (https://captainblankenship.com/) - The Queen's Gambit (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt10048342/) - SVG Animations on Amazon (https://www.amazon.com/SVG-Animations-Implementations-Responsive-Animation/dp/1491939702)

Overview Programming is not just about creating enterprise-level apps but can be put to work to help people express themselves creatively in many different ways. This is just one of a few profound takeaways from today’s show, where we got a chance to sit down with Pine Wu, former Visual Studio Code developer at Microsoft who built Vetur, a language server that enhances the Vue editing experience. We talk to Pine about Vetur’s background and functionality, his current nomadic pursuits, and his approach to programming as an art or a means to art more than anything else. On the subject of Vetur, Pine explains the context behind the name, and what led him to build the project in the first place. He speaks about how he built out early versions of Vetur by leveraging open source code from other platforms, how the project blew up overnight, its current abilities, and what the future holds. From there, we move on to discuss Pine’s thoughts about what coding means to him. We touch on ideas about the value of exploring content outside of one's discipline, the line between learning and building, and how the tools we create and use structure the way we think about what we work on as well as what we build. Pine also shares a bunch of cool resources today – creative projects using Vue and other frameworks, as well as key texts and talks that have influenced his ideas about art, perception, tools, and computer science. For a wide-reaching conversation about creativity, learning, and writing software that is useful to the world outside of corporations, be sure to tune in! Key Points From This Episode: The human languages and programming languages Pine is fluent in. Matthew Butterick’s work with Racket and why Pine wants to learn this language next. The line between learning and building; recent projects Pine did and what they taught him. Pine’s approach to learning programming as a means of achieving his creative ends. The added perceptive abilities you get from learning things outside of your field. Why ‘computer science’ is a misnomer, describing an art more than a science; how Pine got into programming. New features in Vue 3 and the changes Pine has to make to Vetur to support them. The online channels that Pine is most active on; where to find him if you’d like to get in touch.

Key Points From This Episode: - An intro into Pine, his experiences at Microsoft, and the work he does in Visual Studio Code. - What leading a nomadic life means to Pine, and the things he enjoys learning as a freelancer. - Pine’s ideas about not only being a programmer but wanting to study graphic design too. - An intro into Vetur, Pine’s project that provides autocomplete functionality for Vue files. - How Pine has expanded Vetur’s functionality beyond autocomplete and diagnostic errors. - The beginnings of Vetur: Pine’s love of Vue which wasn’t compatible with VS Code. - How Pine developed early Vetur versions by copy-pasting and modifying parts of existing support from other platforms. - The story of Vetur’s huge early success after the creator of Repl tweeted about it. - Humor in Pine’s talks and how his non-sugarcoated approach plays into this. Pine’s rapid prototyping tool and how it fits in with his passion for enabling expressive coding. - Perspectives on the idea that tools shape how we think and what we build. - Pine’s thoughts on future Vetur upgrades: A type renaming tool and more. Tweetables: - “If you are editing a TypeScript or JavaScript file in your Visual Studio Code, you see that after you press a dot you see a lot of autocompletions. Those are powered by what is called a language server and a language server basically analyzes the whole code base, breaks your code into abstract syntax trees, analyzes them, and then gives you autocompletion and diagnostic errors. Vetur basically does that for Vue files.” — @octref [0:07:34] - “As a programmer, my passion is not writing enterprise-level or large scale Vue apps. My interest is more in the expressive side of coding.” — @octref [0:17:01] - “Without a microscope, you are unable to work with bacteria. Without a telescope, you are unable to work with galaxies. It’s only with these tools that you can perceive certain things.” — @octref [0:22:10] Links Mentioned in Today’s Episode: - Pine Wu on GitHub (https://github.com/octref) - Pine Wu on Twitter (https://twitter.com/octref?lang=en) - Pine Wu Blog (https://blog.matsu.io/) - Vetur (https://vuejs.github.io/vetur/) - Mrmrs (http://mrmrs.cc/) - Von, 菅野 よう子 (Kanno Yōko), ft.

Key Points From This Episode: - Miriam’s advice for getting started in CSS, especially those coming from other languages. - How CSS provides the tools to deal with its inherent and absurd lack of control. - The history of browsers with style capabilities and how CSS was a response to that idea. - We learn why Miriam is ambivalent to tools like Tachyon or Tailwind. - What developing Sass helped Miriam learn about CSS, and why Sass can’t contextualize the complexity of CSS for users. - The design systems approach Miriam chooses, depending on the client, and she loves Sass. - Addressing scoping – Miriam describes how her preferred tool, View Solution works. - Some common scoping or CSS patterns that Miriam disagrees with, and the patterns or paradigms she thinks deserve more attention. - Miriam talks about the CSS spec work she is doing and why she felt the need to do it. - Problem-solving when debugging – Miriam suggests looking at browser dev tools and property when inspecting an element. - Miriam explains the layout models in CSS, and how others can understand them better. - CSS is communicating meaningfully to the browser, how to make smart decisions for us. - Masonry layout – what it is, why it’s considered the holy grail layout, why it’s tough to build. - CSS, specs, browser implementation, and rules – Miriam lays out what CSS actually is. - Which of the things that are broken or unintuitive in CSS Miriam would like to change. - The panel shares the worst thing they have done in CSS and the thing they are proudest of. - Miriam shares her worst CSS experience, which was during the height of maintaining Susy. - Tessa’s picks include Mozilla Developer videos and CSS The Card Game. - Ben’s picks this week involve fixing back pain with a massage gun and a song called Funny. - Miriam shares her picks, including A CSS showcase called Style Stage, the Layout Land videos, and an ASL dictionary. - To close the show is Ari’s pick, which is simply Queen by Perfume Genius. Tweetables: - “[CSS is] a collaboration with browsers and with users, everything is contextual, it's meant to be that way. Browser differences are a feature, your code breaking is a feature… That’s just the way it is. It’s one weird big performance art.” — @mirisuzanne [0:02:36] - “CSS is all about communicating meaningfully to the browser how to make smart decisions for us. Telling it this is a flex situation, or this is a grid situation, or this is a float situation is meaningful information that the browser can use to make decisions on our behalf in contexts we haven't thought about.” — @mirisuzanne [0:34:18] - “My key to writing CSS is always try to convey as much information as we can to the browser in small ways.” — @mirisuzanne [0:34:28] - “Responsive web design taught us to remove all intrinsic sizes and put a percentage on everything, everything is fluid. If you’ve ever heard Jen Simmons talk about intrinsic design, she's trying to push back on that one aspect of responsive.” — @mirisuzanne [0:47:44] Links Mentioned in Today’s Episode: - Miriam Suzanne on Twitter (https://twitter.com/mirisuzanne) - Miriam Suzanne on LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/in/mirisuzanne/) - Miriam Suzanne on GitHub (https://github.com/mirisuzanne) - Miriam Suzanne (https://www.miriamsuzanne.com/) - OddBird (https://www.oddbird.net/) - Teacup Gorilla (https://www.teacupgorilla.com/) - Grapefruit Lab (https://www.grapefruitlab.com/) - Riding Sidesaddle* (http://www.springgunpress.com/riding-sidesaddle-miriam-suzanne/) - The Post-Obsolete Book (http://www.post-obsolete.com/) - Why is CSS So Weird?

Key Points From This Episode: - Felix starts with an example of designing a bench explosion and its unpredictable variables. - Where to include heavy-handed guidance in a game is usually borne of player testing. - Felix believes the number one fallacy of designers in any field is that they extend their personal viewpoint on their design being universal. - Focus testing and A/B testing are ways to create accessible experiences in mobile games. - Testing doesn’t have to be formal – it can be as informal as asking a friend for feedback. - Crunch time and work-life balance: How Felix manages it by keeping to his hours strictly. - Part of Felix’s decision to go into internal tools programming was less of an emphasis on meeting very strict deadlines. - Onto picks, Ari’s is a little more abstract this week – quit a job you’re unhappy at. - Ringo’s pick is the YouTube channel Noclip, which presents various game documentaries. - Felix’s picks are cooking meatballs or a non-meat alternative, and learning the open source game engine, Godot. - Felix talks about the resurgence of disc versus digital when it comes to installing games. - Tessa’s picks are all games: Minna no Gorufu or Hot Shots Golf, The 3rd Birthday, Resident Evil 6, and the Ct.js game editor. Tweetables: - “I think the number one fallacy of designers in any field is that the design they've made is understandable and parsable to everyone. They extend their own personal viewpoint on that design as being universal.” — @uhfelix [0:02:52] “When I say testing, I don't explicitly mean like A/B testing or focus testing. It can also be something as informal as like just asking someone else, a co-worker, a friend, family, to just sit down and play your game and have them give their honest feedback. That’s it.” — @uhfelix [0:06:58] “I try to keep to my hours very strictly. It’s a lot of discipline to be able to do that and [it takes] a in your employer to recognize that you do have the boundaries and limits you're setting, and they need to respect that. I don't think I would work for any company that would overemphasize the need to stay at work over actual production.” — @uhfelix [0:08:29] Links Mentioned in Today’s Episode: - Felix Park on Twitter (https://twitter.com/uhfelix) - Felix Park (http://www.felixpark.com/) - Noclip on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0fDG3byEcMtbOqPMymDNbw) - Godot Game Engine (https://godotengine.org/) - Hot Shots Golf: World Invitational Game (https://www.playstation.com/en-us/games/hot-shots-golf-world-invitational-psvita/) - The 3rd Birthday (https://www.playstation.com/en-us/games/the-3rd-birthday-psp/) - Resident Evil 6 (https://store.playstation.com/en-za/product/EP0102-CUSA03840_00-BH6HDPS400000000) - Ct.js Game Editor (https://ctjs.rocks/) - Enjoy the Vue on Twitter (https://twitter.com/enjoythevuecast?lang=en) - Enjoy the Vue (https://enjoythevue.io/) Special Guests: Felix Park and Ringo Kim.
