DejaVue #E024 - Between Agency Work and Open Source (with Zoey and Dan from SIDESTREAM)

This DejaVue episode is a world premiere, with having two guests on the episode for the first time! And not only that, the topics are exciting too. Michael and Alex are joined by Dan and Zoey, both working at SIDESTREAM, an agency using Vue and Nuxt to realize projects. But besides the project business, they also have Sidebase, a non-profit "spin-off" responsible for open-source Nuxt modules like @sidebase/nuxt-auth which some of you might know already!

Listen to the discussion around how doing Open Source benefits SIDESTREAM, how the Vue job market and hiring works, why Vue and Nuxt were chosen first of all and all around Nuxt Auth and further modules.

Enjoy the episode!
