Two of my favourite content creators, teachers and people in the web dev world! I feel like you both have very inquisitive minds, enthusiasm and a great way of explaining things. Would love to see more collaborations between the two of you!
I think it's great that there is innovation and a lot of people thinking so hard about how to solve web's problems but, boy, oh boy! I'm so ready for these things to be settled on! It *has* to be a good enough way to develop for web!
By definition those things would never settle on since most of those aren't innovations solving real problems but mostly reinventing the wheel and going full circle. So yeah you always have battle tested and working boring solutions that have been used for years then people get bored or want to try new things for their side projects and thus hype new projects that do a subset of what the working ones do with maybe one or two pain points solved and dozens of new ones introduced, and when they figure out that they hype another new project, after a while maybe one of those new projects will become a working one, becomes boring and the rest will get abandoned
You are such a champion Jack. Super enthusiastic and positive and just makes me excited to learn more about web dev. I also love that you always reply to questions. Appreciate what you do and I hope you continue!
Hey Jack thanks for the video!!! really great to see the two of you collaborating. What he said about comparing astro with laravel and the community getting mad is at least predictable, Like he said people want the rails of nodejs and astro has nothing to do with that, it's an incredible tool but it serves a different purpose. I personally am not a fan of installing dozens of package just to get a basic authentication scaffold and an ORM, but on the NodeJS side of things this is the standard procedure, I don't think astro is too bad in it's own field, it shouldn't have to recreate the entire ecossistem like laravel has
Hi @jherr, Thank you for the amazing tutorials, I am watching and following all your videos, quick question, which Macbook are you using for recording your videos? I am recording games and I am using Macbook Pro 13 inch with 1.4 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i5 processor, but as soon as I start recording, the Fan produce too much noisy sound? is there away to cancel background noise?
I use M2 stuff, so I don't really get the fan. Attach an external monitor keyboard, mouse and keyboard to your computer and then put your computer under your desk. That should block a bunch of noise. Also get a directional microphone and put the computer exactly in the opposite direction from the front of the mic.
Hi @jherr, big fan here. I just want to ask, what do you think is the most efficient way to go deep on a web development topic? Like, let's say, I want to have a very deep understanding of how React works? Deep understanding on Web Performance? Deep understanding in HTMX? Etc.

Great stuff gentlemen.
Great interview :) Very insightful

Hi there. Is possible have two island? One for React 16, and the another for React 18? ?
Please ask them other time why astro doesnt support jsx-like instances on frontmatter area, why you cant pass jsx-like instances to component prop?
How htmx different from phoenix liveview...
I have no idea, I've heard of liveview but now that I look at it, it's an Elixir thing, and as intriguing as Elixir is I've never used it.
