They say if it's not broken, don't fix it. But if it is broken...keep iterating? While not everyone may agree on how to solve the technical headaches that come with one language or another, developer and Empress Creator Chris Manson has a few ideas. As more apps emerge, more problems inevitably appear. Chris has several non-negotiable best practices for keeping it simple and helping the developers who follow in his digital footsteps. Also a member of Ember's core team, Chris has been working with the framework since December of 2011. After beginning his startup with Angular, Chris threw in the towel and pivoted to its simpler and more intuitive counterpart. Nevertheless, Ember is far from flawless and, as with most things, could always improve for the users who need it most. In this episode, Robbie, Chuck, and Chris discuss the fatal flaws of several old and emerging frameworks, the breakthrough shifts in the Ember community, why comparing Ember to React isn't always a fair match-up, and holes in the developer hiring process. Key Takeaways [00:32] - Whiskey review and a history of Glendalough. [14:14] - How Chris was introduced to Ember. [25:10] - Chris's thoughts on Husky. [29:41] - What Chris is working on now. [32:55] - Why Chris has a vendetta against ember-cli-addon-docs. [37:34] - What's changing in the Ember community. [54:28] - The complexities of hiring developers. [64:50] - The future of frameworks. [73:04] - Chris's problem with TypeScript. [77:18] - Chris's hobbies outside of developing. Quotes [26:42] - “This is one of the things that I don't like about repos or projects where you get to make 1,000 decisions because new people who don't know the decisions you've made, don't know the structure of your app, don't know your repo, go into your repo and go, ‘this is too complicated', bounce, and don't contribute, and that's not ok for me.” ~ Chris Manson [28:49] - “The amount of times that we get people who are actual juniors bouncing against something that you've built and then you realize, ‘oh actually, I did build that in a kind of complex way, I shouldn't have,' and then you internalize that, and then the next time it comes across you go, ‘I could do this fancy and save 10 lines of code, or I can be verbose and simple.' Always pick verbose and simple.” ~ Chris Manson Links Glendalough Whiskey Jamstack The Essential Scratch & Sniff Guide to Becoming a Whiskey Know-It-All: Know Your Booze Before You Choose Angular Ember.js Some Deprecations seem to side-step the deprecation workflow Alex Matchneer Ember Conf Husky Ember Learning Core Team ember-cli-addon-docs simplabs Jen Weber Melanie Sumner Empress Embroider Rust Vercel Robert Jackson Scott Newcomer Glimmer.js Yehuda Katz Evergreen Tesla SpaceX Stadia Nintendo Switch The Legend of Zelda Metroid Wii Oculus SteamVR Vader Immortal World of Warcraft Beat Saber Connect with our hosts Robbie Wagner Chuck Carpenter Ship Shape Subscribe and stay in touch Apple Podcasts Spotify Google Podcasts Whiskey Web and Whatnot Top-Tier, Full-Stack Software Consultants This show is brought to you by Ship Shape.

Okay, it's all you need to know to follow along the rest of this season. Nonetheless. We're bringing it all together in an interview with David Keck, Master Sommelier and wine grower at Stella14, who promises us that there's nothing to be intimidated by in the world of elite wine tasting. Or words to that effect. This episode highlights key take aways from the previous two interviews. If you haven't listened to those, pause and listen to those first. It will be helpful for understanding this one. How We Experience Flavor What Makes a Food Popular This episode references The Essential Scratch & Sniff Guide to Becoming a Wine Expert, by Richard Betts and you can hear Betts talk about it on this video from a bookstore event. He appears at 14:00.This episode also mentions the Vermont wine pairing project, which was part of market development work by the Vermont Fresh Network in 2017 - 2019.

The original cannabis plants that existed in the world are from Asia, the Middle East, Central & South America and the Caribbean, and they are called Landrace strains. These strains have some amazing characteristics - for years, people have enjoyed them to relieve pain or stress, help with sleep, or just relax & laugh. And despite cannabis being illegal, someone loved the effects so much - and yes, thought they could make some money from it - that they made a really big effort to share them across the world. Landrace strains have helped create literally thousands of new hybrids. On today's show, we'll share the secret history behind 5 classic landrace strains: Acapulco Gold, Lamb's Bread, Durban Poison, Thai, and Afghani.

This week Alia chats with author and wine and tequila maker Richard Betts. He talks about the difference between living in the Netherlands and the United States, his new book "The Scratch and Sniff Guide to Cannabis," which proceeds go to criminal justice reform, his new margarita in a can "Superbird," as well as his high-end tequila all coming out this month! PS: Superbird is delicious and has only 5 flippin' ingredients!
Richard Betts is a winemaker, entrepreneur, author, and former Master Sommelier. Richard is one of a handful of people to ever pass the Master Sommelier exam on his first attempt. He also has created many wine and alcohol brands we know and love - including Betts & Scholl, Scarpetta, My Essential Red and Rose, Sucette Grenache and Sombra Mezcal. He is the New York Times best-selling author of “The Essential Scratch & Sniff Guide to Becoming a Wine Expert”, “The Essential Scratch & Sniff Guide to Becoming a Whiskey Know-It-All” and “The Ultimate Scratch & Sniff Guide To Loving Cannabis” (soon to be released). Today we talk about Richard's almost super-human ability to balance extreme fun with intense fitness, and how his practices have evolved as he has gotten older and wiser. We also talk about how he maintains a balanced diet and his sanity during his travels and downtime, and how the COVID-19 pandemic has changed his outlook on his once very rigorous travel schedule. Lastly, we discuss the rise of the sommelier and how the Black Lives Matter movement led to his decision to renounce his Master Sommelier pin and title.

On today's episode of THE FOOD SEEN, we scratch & sniff with Richard Betts, literally. His second edition this olfactory series, The Essential Scratch & Sniff Guide to Becoming a Whiskey Know-It-All: Know Your Booze Before You Choose, exemplifies Betts background as a master sommelier at the Little Nell in Aspen. It's all about objective and deductive reasoning, which will lead you to your_spirit_ spirt (kind of like a power animal). Broken down by GRAIN (corn, wheat, rye, barley, rice, millet, quinoa …), WOOD (new vs. used barrels), and PLACE (Scotland uses sherry from Spain and bourbon from USA, whereas Japan uses oak called mizunara), it's only a matter of time until you too have mastered whiskey. Betts, now a producer of My Essential Wine varietals, and Sombra mezcal, will have you turning your drinking data into a dogma soon enough.
The Clever Cookstr's Quick and Dirty Tips from the World's Best Cooks
Richard Betts is the author of the New York Times bestseller The Essential Scratch and Sniff Guide to Becoming a Wine Expert, and now the author of a new book, The Essential Scratch and Sniff Guide to Becoming a Whiskey Know-It-All. Here's his cheat sheet for learning what you like in a whiskey. Read the full transcript here: http://bit.ly/1Hdy1FS
Richard Betts (@yobetts) served as the wine director at The Little Nell in Aspen from 2000 to 2008. Much more interesting to me, Richard passed the Court of Master Sommeliers' Masters Exam on his first attempt, becoming the ninth person in history ever to do so. I first met Richard through investing wunderkind Chris Sacca, and we immediately hit it off. Richard can help you train your senses for anything, including wine, whiskey, his current love of mezcal, and far beyond. He's also done a lot of wild experiments, got a lot of tattoos, almost been shot in Mexico, and developed an incredible ability to simplify the complex. We get along. In this conversation, we talk about nearly everything, ranging from the value of quitting to tricks of the trade, travel tips (he's traveling 300+ days per year), and "starter" wines. We also drink a boat-load of whiskey, me tasting and Richard teaching. The pictures below show a sample. Side note and cool rule of thumb: did you know it's spelled "whiskey" when from countries that have "e" in their names (e.g. America) but "whisky" when from countries that don't have an "e" in their names (e.g. Scotland, Japan)? Richard taught me that. Last but not least, Richard is the author of a brand-new book, “The Essential Scratch & Sniff Guide to Becoming a Whiskey Know-It-All,” which is sitting on my kitchen table with whiskey stains all over it. It distils (see what I did there?) a couple of lifetimes worth of study down to 24 pages...then makes them smell good. Definitely check it out. At the very least, it gives you a bunch of rules of thumb (like the whiskey vs. whisky trick), so you can impress your friends and not look like a dumb-ass at the bar. Sweet! Less dumb-ass and more smart-ass is always good. Get 'er done. Show notes and links for this episode can be found at www.fourhourworkweek.com/podcast. This podcast is brought to you by MeUndies. If I’m not going commando, then I’m wearing MeUndies. I’ve been testing out pairs for about 3 or 4 months now, and, as a result, I've thrown out my other underwear. They look good, feel good, have options for men and women, and their materials are 2x softer than cotton, as evaluated using the Kawabata method. Not only does MeUndies offer underwear, but they also have incredible lounge pants. I wear them when I record the podcast, and when I’m out and about grabbing coffee.

This week’s on In the Drink, host Joe Campanele is joined by winemaker, master sommelier and beverage expert Richard Betts, who’s latest ventures include Sombra Mezcal, “The Essential Scratch n Sniff Guide to Wine Expertise” & two new wines – St. Glinglin & The Essential. Hear about why terroir is so important in mezcal production and how mass-produced tequila masked the original brilliance and delicate flavor profile of mezcal. Hear Richard’s thoughts on the current state of Bordeaux and why he thinks it should be affordable and drank by all. Richard reminds listeners that everybody should feel good about having a glass of wine with lunch, and enjoying life to the fullest! This program was sponsored by White Oak Pastures. “I had no expectation that anybody was ready for this [Sombra Mezcal] but me – that’s how I approach all my projects.” “It’s not about the superstar chef or sommelier – it’s about the superstar guest. Our job is more about helping people understand what they love, than of telling them what they should love.” “The table is never truly set until there’s wine on it.” “I’m old enough to remember when Bordeaux was affordable and we all drank it.” –Richard Betts on In the Drink
