Kyle does such a great job at breaking down complex topics and patiently explaining best practices and the reasons behind them. Youtube is better with his presence.

First time listening/watcher. This was great! This is the type of front-end conversations I’m interested in as a mid-level developer. The dialogue was very good. I’ve had some struggle with other podcasts where it seemed a little dry, but you all‘s conversation was very engaging and the content was good. Appreciate the podcast!

Just last night, I was watching Kyle and thinking ‘How can I get this guy to share his story on how he got so good’ - I imagined he would say the things he’s saying on this podcast. I scroll through YouTube this morning and here we are, the interview I was hoping for ! Good job guys.

React is not a framework it is a library that’s why you make so many decisions. That’s why react is also just built on js

When Kyle described his background I got deja vu! I am also a Computer Engineer so I learned a bunch of hardware and had one class my senior year on web development. I decided to pursue the Software side and now I am a Software Eng. and not even working with hardware the slightest bit.

[camerald]

I listened on a whim, and how lucky I did.
