POP QUIZ!!
<p>Duude, let me break it down and ride this wave with ya. So, Seth and Jake, two chillaxed dudes, are chatting about coding and their own experiences. Like, Seth is this rad developer from Portland, and Jake is a barber who moonlights as a hacker. They've been in the game for different lengths, one decade for Seth and nine months for Jake, but they're both all about that coding life, man. They're quizzing each other and just shootin' the breeze, you know like bros do, y'know? </p> <p>They're also goofin' around with some fun stuff, like a pop quiz for Jake to see how much he's really picked up from all those coding waves he's been riding. Seth's asking Jake all these gnarly questions about Script Objects, various programming languages, and React components. There's some real brain-boggling stuff, but Jake's hanging ten and getting most of it right on the money. </p> <p>Then the bros start talking studies, man. Jake's thinking about doing the React Codecademy course again, cause touch and go just doesn't cut it when you're word slinging in JavaScript. He's curious about his progress too, wants Seth to tell him when he reaches Seth's first job level. You know, to know when he's ready to ride the big waves. They wrap up the convo with lots of props for learning, dudes. Yeah, pretty righteous chat if you ask me!</p> <p>Special thanks to <a href= "https://open.spotify.com/artist/7JxrbI1DZLSJUyzsrBQop2?si=Vt5jO60AR3C4O_wgt9yxkA" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Diarrhea Planet</a> for our intro and outro music and <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/skratchtopo" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">@SkratchTopo</a> for our artwork.</p>

They're like, TypeScript, it's this awesome superset of JavaScript that adds a chill layer of type safety to your code. Seth, he shows us how TypeScript makes declaring variables with specific data types a breeze, ensuring your data types are, like, totally consistent throughout your code. And let's not forget how TypeScript gets cozy with React, keeping your code stoked and error-free.</p> <p>They dive deep into TypeScript's perks, man, highlighting how it amps up your code quality and snags errors early, with links to epic resources for devs. The talk gets into the zone where a top-notch team using TypeScript keeps the project communication slick and errors minimal, and they give some love for TypeScript over JavaScript.</p> <p>And they wrap it up with some rad advice, telling you to catch the JavaScript, asynchronous JavaScript, React, and TypeScript waves. They drive home the point that practice and learning are the key to totally nailing these tech skills, making this podcast a must-listen for any coding enthusiast, bro.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div>

Leveling UP with Scott Tolinski
<p>Dude, in this gnarly podcast episode, Scott Tolinski, like, totally drops some knowledge bombs about his wild 21-year coding journey, man. He takes us back to the early days, you know, high school websites and all that. And then, he's like, "Whoa, mentors are where it's at," teaching us everything from project management to how to deal with clients and working in a team.</p> <p>And then, the vibe totally shifts to Scott's rad experiences with Meteor, this full-stack JavaScript thing. He talks about how it's all real-time, like, super cool for chat apps and stuff. But then, he cruises into the switch to React and SvelteKit, and he's like, "Whoa, it's not all rainbows and butterflies."</p> <p>Now, let's ride the wave to Scott's Level Up Tutorials project. It's this epic journey from struggling to make it work, to hanging ten with Wes Bos on the Syntax podcast. And he's all about finding your stoke in personal projects, man.</p> <p>So, it's all about, like, asking questions, taking a break when you're stuck, and knowing it's cool not to have all the answers. You know, don't be fooled by the social media highlight reel, folks. Learning's a marathon, not a sprint. And, by the way, Sentry.io's got your back for tracking code errors and stuff. Cowabunga, dude! 🤙</p> <p>Special thanks to <a href= "https://open.spotify.com/artist/7JxrbI1DZLSJUyzsrBQop2?si=Vt5jO60AR3C4O_wgt9yxkA" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Diarrhea Planet</a> for our intro and outro music and <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/skratchtopo" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">@SkratchTopo</a> for our artwork.</p> <p> </p> <p>Links from this episode:</p> <ul> <li><a href="https://tolin.ski/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">Scott's website</a></li> <li><a href="https://levelup.video/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">Level Up Tutorials</a></li> <li><a href="https://syntax.fm/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">Syntax website</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.instagram.com/stolinski/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Scott's Instagram</a></li> <li><a href="https://twitter.com/stolinski" target="_blank" rel= "noopener noreferrer">Scott's Twitter</a></li> <li><a href="https://bsky.app/profile/tolin.ski" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Scott on Bluesky</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.drupal.org/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">Drupal</a></li> <li><a href="https://angularjs.org/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">Angular 1</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.meteor.com/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">Meteor</a></li> <li><a href="https://vuejs.org/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">Vue.js</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.apollographql.com/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">Apollo</a></li> <li><a href="https://sentry.io/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">Sentry.io</a></li> </ul>
