What's New In Data hosts industry practitioners to discuss latest trends, common patterns for real world data patterns, and analytics success stories.

Ryan is joined by Pete Hunt, who has worked at two of the biggest tech giants in the world, both Facebook and Twitter. Pete talks about everything from meetings with Mark Zuckerburg, to how he created a high valuation to sell his previous company, to how he has built a company to revolutionise the way we harness the power of data. Pete also talks through his thoughts on threads as a product, the differences between working at Facebook and Twitter, the reliability of AI and his number one piece of advice for getting the perfect product market fit. KEY TAKEAWAYS Most of Elemntl's revenue comes via inbound leads. Smite built trust and safety tools for social media platforms, pretty much anyone not owned by google were a customer of them including TikToks former named company Musical.ly Smite grew fast but Pete came to the conclusion that it would be best to sell due to the marketplace of social media platforms, there's always a limited amount. After selling to twitter, Pete actually stayed working there for over 3 years. So many companies have issues with controlling their data, made more complex by constant new regulation. Pete's newest start-up, Elementl, was started to help control this problem. Looking at AI as a way to accelerate your business process is one of the best ways to utilise it's strengths. Start-ups need to focus on the top of the funnel more so than any other business type and size. It can feel repetitive but don't undervalue it and put the hard work in at the beginning. BEST MOMENTS “We started the company to bring start of the art software engineering best practices, to build rock solid, testable data pipelines that you can trust” “It was 2011 in the tech industry, nobody got fired” “The thing I don't like about threads is it's a lot of brands being brands and people engaging with brands” “There's really strong engineering at both companies but Facebook really valued speed of delivery” “Distribution is a massive competitive advantage” Do You Want The Closing Secrets That Helped Close Over $125 Million in New Business for Free?"  Grab them HERE: https://www.whalesellingsystem.com/closingsecrets Ryan Staley Founder and CEO Whale Boss 312-848-7443 ryan@whalesellingsystem.com www.ryanstaley.io  EPISODE RESOURCES https://www.elementl.com ABOUT THE SHOW How do you grow like a VC-backed company without taking on investors?

I'm coming to you today from the Infoship shift conference where I just gave a talk on the third is your JavaScript. And it's got me in a mood to look back a little bit on the history of some of the JavaScript frameworks and what better history to cover it, then react, which is something I know. [00:00:17] Well, but I think the history of react is not that well-documented and people. Should hear it from people who are there. The central question, which occupies a lot of my waking thought is how to get developer tools adopted. And there's no better case study than most, no more successful case study than react and how it overcame its initial difficulty. [00:00:38] Here's original reactive team member, Pete hunt on the future of coding podcast.  [00:00:43] Pete Hunt: It took a lot of time to figure out how to message this. Because he can't just come in and say like, everybody's wrong and we're right. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. That's not that's not really, you did that a little bit. [00:00:55] Which, which talk. So there was the original JS coffee us talk where we came in and we said, Hey, this is how we build user interfaces. At the time. And it was just like a tutorial. And then there's another way, which was the second top, which was the one that I did, which was basically like, Hey, here's why react is different. [00:01:15] The argument that we were trying to make is that, Hey, this is these are the problems that we had. Here's the solution we came up with and here's what makes our solution. And we had a lot of caveats in there that said, Hey, this might not work for you. There are these certain edge cases where it's actually slower than what you're doing today, but what we found was this was a better set of trade-offs and really what we focused on was. [00:01:40] Educating people on how to use react or how to build their next application with it. It was more about this is what makes it unique and interesting. And what that did was it disarmed people. They were like, oh, this is actually really interesting. We focus much more on the implementation in that than the, how to use it. [00:01:56] And people appreciated that. And the second thing it did was it recruited people into the community that were really passionate about what it does differently. And so you see. These big shots in the react community now like Sophie Albert, and Dan Abramov and Cheng Lou and all these, these people they originally recruited because I think they found the internals of react to the interesting or at least some of the ideas around it to be really interesting rather than, oh, I built my, my application and, three less days than it otherwise would have taken. [00:02:25] Steve Krause: From my perspective it seemed like react was inevitable and it just happened magically, but you were more on the ground floor making it grow. And it seemed like, like you find around the conferences telling people about evangelizing it. [00:02:38] So could you talk through like how it became adopted how, how that felt. Like w what were like some of the key milestones or like key the key things that happened that like made it like moved along.  [00:02:50] Pete Hunt: Yeah. So there was JS con you asked, which was the original announcement. Everybody hated it. Then there was JS con EU which got some more people excited about it. [00:03:00] We wanted to support everybody a lot. So we were in IRC, like almost 24, 7. People would come in and ask a question and we would answer it. Some people would, would camp on stack overflow and answer those questions. But basically like the, the idea was we wanted to recruit and, and basically keep those people engaged in the community because hopefully they could help out. [00:03:20] And that ended up working out nicely. So the number one thing was like just supporting the hell out of people that  [00:03:26] the second big milestone that happened was when David Nolan got involved. And brought in the closure script community. And they, he wrote this blog post called the future of JavaScript MVCs and he was kind of like, Hey, this reacting solves a missing piece that we've had in the closure script community for a long time. [00:03:44] And it's got a programming model that I really like. So that was a big noticeable uptick in the use of reaction. So again, what we're doing right now is, is recruiting. Passionate early adopters and started to slowly turn into some real production usage of react outside of the Facebook companies. [00:04:06] And then fast forward, maybe a year we are so flux is introduced and that solves a problem that the community had. We started talking at kind of bigger, more corporate-y conferences like Facebook's FAA, and then eventually put on a react. For all of the users and then that sort of to inspire a lot of confidence in people to use react. [00:04:28] And so then all these big companies started actually using react. And once you've got some PR real-world production usage, we had this Wiki page where people could add a link to their, their service and where they were using react and Redux. And we would point people to that when they're like, Hey, my boss doesn't know if I should use this new technology. [00:04:48] We said, well, did you know that Facebook is using an Instagram is using it Airbnb and the New York times and all these other, other well-known brands. So that was, that was helpful to then, we just started to see this big explosion in, in the usage of the, of react throughout the community. [00:05:05] The snowball was, was rolling down the hill at that point. React native was another big milestone in, in reacts kind of adoption because that opened up the world mobile developers.  [00:05:14] So I I found react because of David Nolan's article that you mentioned. And I was immediately convinced after reading that article and then watching your rethink, rethinking best practices talk, which, which I think he links to in the, yeah. [00:05:26] In that essay. So I can definitely see how that was a big milestone. I didn't realize how big of a milestone that was in your mind, but, but that's, that's how you got me.  [00:05:34] So makes sense. Yeah. That wasn't an accident either. So like there's a lot of, I was going to conferences and I was connecting with people on Twitter and stuff like that. [00:05:44] And the way that got put together was. There's this guy, Brandon bloom, who's a game programmer who you guys should all follow on Twitter cause he's he's really smart. And he sent me a message or tweeted at me or something and he was like, Hey, I saw your talk. Did you know that this is how like all game engines are implemented? [00:06:05] And I was like, what? I don't know very much about graphics and, and he taught me through it and explained it to me. And he's like, He was in New York and I was like, oh, I'm flying to New York. We should meet up. So we met up over a cup of coffee and he's like, I'm going to bring my friend David Nolan. [00:06:20] And he's going to, he's going to come sit in on our conversation. And so us, the three of us were just at a coffee shop somewhere in New York talking about react. And then he pops into the IRC channel, has a bunch of questions as he's building his first version of his react bindings. [00:06:35] Kind of, again, continuing this, this level of support that we had and that blog post pops out and changed the game for, for react. So that was, that wasn't like, oh, I stumbled upon this technology. And I was struck by how awesome it is. It's like none of this stuff, I'm like, yeah, things go viral, but they go viral after a lot of boots on the ground effort. [00:06:56] Steve Krause: Ah, I'm so glad that that's But that's how it actually happened. Cause it that's so empowering that like, it isn't just random. What goes down on what doesn't, if you work really hard and do the work, it'll eventually work out. So I'm really glad that that's how it happened in reality. And that I have it on this podcast. [00:07:12] That's really inspiring.  [00:07:14] Pete Hunt: Yeah. Yeah. I mean, there are things you got to get, right? Like you gotta write documentation and you got to build a community that you need to foster community that that is inclusive and gets everybody excited about working on this. And you need to also communicate your project really well. [00:07:28] So you need to say, Hey, this is why you should pay attention to our project. And it's got, you get like three bullet points, three single sentences to communicate why your project is different and worthy of someone's attention. And like it's faster and it's smaller and it's lightweight. Real reasons like you got to sacrifice something, right? [00:07:50] Cause otherwise react would be smaller, lighter weight. Right. So what are you sacrificing?  [00:07:54] Steve Krause: Totally. So one thing I saw on the internet that caught my attention when I was preparing for this interview is that there was a quote where you talked about how you replied to every hater comment on Twitter. [00:08:04] And is that, is that something that you thought was effective? Do you still do that now?  [00:08:09] Pete Hunt: Tell me more about that. Oh yeah. That was actually Reddit. So we would post it to Reddit and there would just be like, all of these salty programmers would just reply and trash on like, oh my God, you're putting HTML in your JavaScript. [00:08:22] That's so bad. Or like who is Facebook to tell us how to build applications when we have this thing from Google and Google's wait, got way nicer products than Facebook whatever it is. And our, to every single one of those. Yeah. You know what, like some of these people had legitimate concerns. There's, I've actually found in my personal experience, there's very few real trolls that are just trying to troll and just trying to piss you off. [00:08:50] There's a lot of arrogant people and there's a lot of people that have strong opinions and don't do a great job of expressing them in a respectful way. But their goal is not to piss you off. They actually have legitimate concern. And the way that I thought about it was I, I viewed every single one of those concerns as my fault, because either the technology didn't do what it needed to do, or they, as in, they had a legitimate technical concern or they didn't have a legitimate technical concern and we failed communicating that to them. [00:09:21] And so if you just say. Hey, all of these complaints on Reddit are actually legitimate or have a kernel of truth to them. And they're all my fault. You start to do a lot of self-improvement really quickly. And so that's why I think the messaging around react got to be I thought very, very crisp within the first nine months. [00:09:41] Yeah. Of it being open sourced and that that messaging like branding it, the virtual Dom that now gets a lot of flack and criticism, but I stand by it, it's not a hundred percent accurate, but if you've got someone's attention for five minutes and you want to explain how react works, a virtual time is like a great way to do that. [00:10:00] swyx: Okay. So there were a bunch of very important lessons here. So just to recap, the first is to talk about features over benefits. This is the exact opposite from traditional marketing, where you talk about benefits over features. When reacts was initially introduced, they were trying to introduce them as a tutorial. Like we can do this. This is how you use react.  [00:10:21] And you can code, uh, so-and-so faster than you would normally code. And people really reacted against that. But the second time they introduced react, they focused on why react is different focused on the implementation rather than how to use it. And that actually successfully nerds sniped, the second generation of react core team members like Sophie, opport, Danny Mamava.  [00:10:40] VIN Chang Lu. The second tip after the features of a benefits thing is to support everybody. And they really mean everybody. So camping out in IRC stack overflow and Reddit. Supporting influencers like David Nolan. Supporting haters. Bye Andre. On Reddit by viewing every hater comment as if it was your fault.  [00:10:59] And then building more social. Social momentum. With bigger conferences like Facebook, F eight, and then throwing their own react con. And then also publishing a public user Wiki so they can see. Other companies like them using react. Finally, you have to have your table-stakes. So the table stakes that were mentioned were documentation.  [00:11:20] Inclusive community. And three single sentences to communicate why your project is different and worthy of someone's attention. Real reasons with trade-offs not just, we are we're pleasing faster, smaller, or lightweight, actual reasons. So I thought this was very jam packed with. Really good lessons.

2021 President Pete Hunt welcomes you to the PBCJA Podcast.

To celebrate 7 years of React, we have a very special guest: Pete Hunt. He’s the one who asked us to give React just 5 minutes, to reconsider our established frontend practices, and see if separation of technologies was serving us as well as we thought. Pete tells us about the early days of React — it’s rocky community reception, Facebook’s struggle to create meaningful open source, and betting big on CommonJS and a little-known bundler named Webpack.

Facebook engineering is unique. Software is built at Facebook in a way that is distinctly different than any other company. In our series of shows about Facebook engineering, we have mostly covered the positive side of Facebook’s practices. In today’s show, we explore the downsides.  Facebook moves fast. Engineers within the company must move fast, The post Facebook Reflections with Pete Hunt and Nick Schrock appeared first on Software Engineering Daily.

JavaScript Jabber celebrates its 400th episode with former host Dave Smith and some other familiar voices. Each of the panelists talks about what they’ve been up to. Dave hasn’t been on the show for 3 years, but he and Jameson Dance have started a podcast called Soft Skills Engineering where they answer questions about the non-technical side of engineering. When he left the show he was the director of engineering on Hire View, and currently he works for Amazon on Alexa.  Christopher Buecheler has been on several JSJ, RRU, and MJS episodes. His time is divided between contracting for startups and his own company closebrace.com, a tutorial and resource site for JavaScript developers.  Dan Shapir has also been on JSJ as a guest, and is currently works for Wix doing performance tech. He enjoys speaking at conferences, such as JS Camp in Bucharest, Romania and the YGLF conference. Steve Edwards was previously on MJS 078. He started on Drupal in the PHP world, switched to JavaScript, and then a few years ago he started looking at Vue. Now he does Vue fulltime for ImageWare Systems. As for Charles, his primary focus is the podcasts, since DevChat.tv produces around 20 episodes per week. 5 new shows were started in July, and he talks about some of the challenges that that brought. One of his most popular shows recently was JSJ 389: What makes a 10x Engineer? This helped him realize that he wants to help teach people how to be a successful engineer, so he’s working on launching a new show about it.  The panelists share some of their favorite JSJ episodes. They discuss the tendency of JSJ to get early access to these fascinating people when the conversation was just beginning, such as the inventor of Redux Dan Abramov, before their rise to stardom. The talk about the rise in popularity of podcasting in general. They agree that even though JavaScript is evolving and changing quickly, it’s still helpful to listen to old episodes.  Charles talks about the influence JavaScript Jabber has had on other podcasts. It has spawned several spinoffs, including My JavaScript Story. He’s had several hosts start their own DevChat.tv shows based off JavaScript Jabber, including Adventures in Angular and The DevEd Podcast. JavaScript Jabber has also been the inspiration for other podcasts that aren’t part of DevChat.tv. There aren’t many podcast companies that produce as many shows as they do and they’re developing their own tools. DevChat.tv moved off of WordPress and is in the process of moving over to Podwrench. Charles talks about all the new shows that have been launched, and his view on ‘competing’ podcasts. Charles is also considering doing an audio drama that happens in a programming office, so if you would like to write and/or voice that  show, he invites you to contact him.  The show concludes with the panel talking about the projects they’ve been working on that they want listeners to check out. Christopher invites listeners to check out closebrace.com. He also has plans to write a short ebook on unit testing with jest, considered doing his own podcast, and invites people to check out his fiction books on his website. Dan talks about his involvement with Wix, a drag and drop website service, that recently released a technology called Corvid which lets you write JS into the website you build with Wix. This means you can design your user interface using Wix, but then automate it, add events functionality, etc. Dan is also going to be at the Chrome Dev Summit conference. Dave invites listeners to check out the Soft Skills Engineering podcast, and Charles invites listeners to subscribe to his new site maxcoders.io.  Panelists Dan Shapir Christopher Buecheler Steve Edwards Dave Smith Charles Max Wood Sponsors Tidelift Sentry use the code “devchat” for 2 months free on Sentry’s small plan Adventures in .NET Links The Dev Rev MJS 099: Christopher Buecheler JSJ 338: It's Supposed to Hurt.

Charles is also considering doing an audio drama that happens in a programming office, so if you would like to write and/or voice that  show, he invites you to contact him.  The show concludes with the panel talking about the projects they’ve been working on that they want listeners to check out. Christopher invites listeners to check out closebrace.com. He also has plans to write a short ebook on unit testing with jest, considered doing his own podcast, and invites people to check out his fiction books on his website. Dan talks about his involvement with Wix, a drag and drop website service, that recently released a technology called Corvid which lets you write JS into the website you build with Wix. This means you can design your user interface using Wix, but then automate it, add events functionality, etc. Dan is also going to be at the Chrome Dev Summit conference. Dave invites listeners to check out the Soft Skills Engineering podcast, and Charles invites listeners to subscribe to his new site maxcoders.io.  Panelists Dan Shapir Christopher Buecheler Steve Edwards Dave Smith Charles Max Wood Sponsors Tidelift Sentry use the code “devchat” for 2 months free on Sentry’s small plan Adventures in .NET Links The Dev Rev MJS 099: Christopher Buecheler JSJ 338: It's Supposed to Hurt.

Facebook engineering is commonly described by two words: move fast. Building products quickly has been a differentiating characteristic of the company since its inception. From the longtime engineers to the summer interns, Facebook instills a sense of immediacy and opportunity in all of its employees. The goal of Facebook is to make the world more The post Facebook Engineering with Pete Hunt appeared first on Software Engineering Daily.

Recorded on-stage at Øredev 2017, Fredrik talks to Pete Hunt about open sourcing the code you work on, why and how you might do it. There are many reasons to release code, from recruitment to giving back to the community to improving code quality and processes. We also touch on good reasons for writing your own thing in the first place: Are you uniquely good at it, do you have a unique market insight or do you have a unique technical insight? Don't hurry, don't release something as open source as soon as the first version is finished. How to think about maintaining an open source project if it does become popular? Think about how hard it's going to be, then double that. Staff appropriately, or scale it down to available staff. The message can't stand alone, it needs context. Make a pitch for it, including how to measure success, have a plan. Pitch both internally and externally. To round things off, a bit about what's interesting right now, and how frontend and backend are approaching eachother.

In the third Episode of Stack Stories, we sat down with Pete Hunt, one of the original creators of React, formerly of Facebook/Instagram, now CEO of Smyte. Hard to believe that one of the most popular JavaScript UI libraries on Earth got to be so popular all because Instagram needed a web presence to get SEO juice. Sound a bit far-fetched? Listen to the full story and get the details on why React was created at Facebook, how Facebook lost the mobile battle but won the war, and how React gained adoption within Facebook and eventually across the world. Transcript available on StackShare: stackshare.io/posts/the-react-story. Oh, and btw, we're hiring React Engineers ;) https://angel.co/stackshare/jobs

One of the original ReactJS developers at Facebook and Instagram, Pete Hunt (@floydophone) tells us the story behind the metoric rise of ReactJS. Pete explains the problems he faced Instagram Web that led him to Jordan Walke's early React prototype, and how he helped develop, evangalize, and grow React to what you know it to be today.

When Facebook acquired Instagram, one of the first systems Instagram plugged into was Facebook’s internal spam and fraud prevention system. Pete Hunt was the first Facebook engineer to join the Instagram team. When he joined, the big problems at Instagram were around fake accounts, harassment, and large volumes of spammy comments. After seeing the internal The post Fraud Prevention with Pete Hunt appeared first on Software Engineering Daily.

Fredrik talks to Pete Hunt about monoliths, breaking them up and when not to. And of course React, how it came about and how the introduction to the world looked from the inside. How to handle releases of software and working with communication around it. What happens when you go from underdog to being the safe choice? This episode was recorded during the developer conference Øredev 2015, where Pete gave presentations on monolith-first apps with Node and building React backends.

That’s what I mostly work on. We’re big users of React at Instagram so I ended up contributing a lot to the React core as well.

Facebook’s core competency is definitely web technologies and Instagram hasn’t historically focused on that. So we were able to take the Facebook web expertise and get Instagram up and running really quickly. I came from the Facebook side but the team is still very much a separate team, their own building, that kind of thing. So that’s my background. CHUCK:  Awesome. JAMISON:  Sweet. CHUCK:  And Jordan?
