A Framework for Understanding Frameworks

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? 

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. 

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!

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.

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."

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.

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! 🤙

Dude, so like, in this totally tubular podcast episode with Seth, Jake, and the coding guru Wes Bos, they're all, "Yo, what's up?" and chat about their coding journeys. Seth, this gnarly full-stack developer for over a decade, Jake, this barber from Augusta, Maine, just kickin' it in code for seven months, and Wes Bos, this coding legend with 23 years under his belt and famous for his coding courses, they all share their stories, man.

Wes talks about how he got started, building websites and tackling gnarly projects. He's all about how coding is like a tool for solving problems, and he loves dropping knowledge to help others on their coding quests. He's all about the importance of stickin' with it and getting hyped about what you're building, especially when JavaScript's throwing you for a loop.

They dive into the challenges of web development, and Wes talks about those days when you're like, "Whoa, did I even code today?" But they all agree, those tough days are where you grow. They chat about when you're "ready" for a coding gig – Wes says it's when you can build CRUD apps, even if you don't know it all, as long as you can troubleshoot and learn on the fly.

Wes also shares his journey, goin' from odd jobs to freelancing, and how the job market's got room for folks with potential and a hunger to learn. They're cruisin' along, talking about how to start in web dev, Wes says to kick it off with HTML and CSS, man, get those basics down. He's all about soft skills and communication, too – says networking's key and that everyone's learning and problem-solvin', no imposters here.

Then they get into flexin' those career paths, from full-stack to specializing like in WordPress. Wes drops some wisdom about adaptin' your learning path to your goals and what gets you stoked. Finally, they wrap it up, showin' gratitude to Wes, pluggin' his courses and the "Syntax" podcast, and tellin' aspiring devs to ride that wave of enthusiasm, stay persistent, and ride to success in the coding world, man.

Check out Wes Bos's rad courses at wesbos.com/courses, and ride the coding vibes with the Syntax podcast co-hosted by Wes Bos and Scott Tolinski for some sick web dev insights, dude. And remember, keep the stoke alive and ride that coding wave to success, bro!

In this gnarly podcast episode, we got Seth Whiting and Jake Pacheco, dude! Seth's the coding champ from Portland, Maine, riding the code wave for a solid 10 years. And there's Jake, the freshest coder in town, clocking in at 5.5 months, all the way from Augusta, Maine, man.

They're chatting about their coding journey, bro, and how they're both learning the code game together. Jake's even helping his girlfriend ride the coding wave, which is totally rad. They dive into React, props, and how they're leveling up their coding smarts.

Then they drop some knowledge on destructuring in JavaScript, a way to make your code super chill by simplifying how you grab object stuff without those pesky dots. It's like a shortcut to cleaner, sleeker code, dude.

Next up, they're talking asynchronous JavaScript, where stuff happens all at once. Seth breaks it down, explaining async and await, and why they're like the lifeblood of web development. And don't forget error handling and promises, man, crucial stuff in the coding world.

Through it all, they're preaching consistency and perseverance in your coding journey. It can get wild, but stay stoked, and you'll ride the code wave like a pro, bro!

Dude, in their latest podcast episode, Jacob Pacheco and Seth Whiting totally ride the coding wave, you know? Seth, who's been in the code game for a solid 10 years, recalls this gnarly design mishap from back in the day. And Jacob, who's kinda new to coding, like around five months, drops some comic gold about "developer months" and how it's sorta like his gig as a barber, man.

So, the whole podcast is like, totally about these "mega cringe-worthy wipeouts," you feel me? And, of course, they're dishing on their wild job interview tales in the coding world. Seth's got this crazy story where he totally biffs the language requirements and has to cram-learn a new one and a fresh framework, bro.

But wait, there's more, man! They cruise through different topics, like Androids vs. Macs and Seth's interview with Lonely Planet, where he admits to not being fully prepped but had to hustle, ya know? Then it's all about error handling, making sure users don't catch those gnarly blank screens and bogus data.

Seth talks about leveling up his confidence in tech interviews, following his passions, and giving a major shoutout to Khan Academy, all about changing the education game with tech, dude.

They drop wisdom bombs about getting hands-on with coding projects, even if you're not totally dialed in, and how the journey of learning and growth never stops in the software realm.

Lastly, they chat about AI, bro. How it might affect coding gigs but, like, developers will still be the real heroes, checking and improving AI-made code. And hey, they're stoked for you to hit 'em up on Twitter and remind you that they drop fresh episodes every Tuesday, brah!
