They're the same thing. One of my takeaways from that is that timing is really, really important. Intercooler was too early. And we've seen that before in tech. If timing is what matters then the longer you can hang around, the more likely you are to catch that timing at some point.” ~ Carson Gross “As I've gotten older, I've stopped looking for the one true programming language and the one true way to do X or Y or Z. There's a lot of different ways to get stuff done. And I like that there are people doing them different ways and that they've got their different take on things.” ~ Carson Gross Links Montana State University: https://www.montana.edu Jameson: https://www.jamesonwhiskey.com Bulleit 12 Year Rye: https://www.bulleit.com/whiskey/bulleit-12-year-old-rye Stagg JR: https://www.buffalotracedistillery.com/brands/stagg-jr Maker’s Mark: https://www.makersmark.com Redbreast: https://www.redbreastwhiskey.com OCaml: https://ocaml.org HyperCard Programmer: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HyperCard Vercel: https://vercel.com Thinking in Java: https://www.amazon.com/Thinking-Java-4th-Bruce-Eckel/dp/0131872486 JetBrains: https://www.jetbrains.com TailwindCSS: https://tailwindcss.com IntercoolerJS / intercoolerjs.org: https://intercoolerjs.org Big Sky Dev Con: https://bigskydevcon.com Manning: https://www.manning.com Teej_dv: https://www.twitch.tv/teej_dv Fireship - htmx in 100 seconds: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r-GSGH2RxJs Hacker News: https://news.ycombinator.com sst.dev: https://sst.dev Dax Raad: https://x.com/thdxr Open Next on GitHub: https://github.com/serverless-stack/open-next floppydisks.com: https://floppydisks.com Zork Game: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zork hyperscript: https://hyperscript.org unpoly: https://unpoly.com Analogue: https://www.analogue.co Parov Stelar: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVtnG15ufdzur71RqfqNSOg Connect with Carson Website: https://hypermedia.systems Htmx: https://htmx.org X / Twitter: https://x.com/htmx_org Connect with our hosts Robbie Wagner: https://x.com/RobbieTheWagner Chuck Carpenter: https://x.com/CharlesWthe3rd Subscribe and stay in touch Website: https://whiskey.fm Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/whiskey-web-and-whatnot/id1552776603 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/19jiuHAqzeKnkleQUpZxDf Overcast: https://overcast.fm/itunes1552776603 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@WhiskeyWebAndWhatnot Whiskey Web and Whatnot Merch Enjoying the podcast and want us to make more?

So we can say oh okay, we're cutting out all the stuff you're not using. That's the dead code elimination.” ~ Chris Manson “We use generators in Ember. Very few other frameworks use generators. You generate a component in Ember and it instantly creates an integration test that renders that component and checks the contents of it and gives you ways to interact with it, to click it, to check the contents and encourages you to put more tests in that file.” ~ Chris Manson Links Bulleit Rye: https://www.bulleit.com/whiskeys/bulleit-rye-whiskey Ember: https://emberjs.com Embroider: https://github.com/embroider-build/embroider Vite: https://vitejs.dev EmberFest: https://emberfest.eu Connect with Chris X / Twitter: https://x.com/real_ate Connect with our hosts Robbie Wagner: https://x.com/RobbieTheWagner Chuck Carpenter: https://x.com/CharlesWthe3rd Subscribe and stay in touch Website: https://whiskey.fm Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/whiskey-web-and-whatnot/id1552776603 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/19jiuHAqzeKnkleQUpZxDf Overcast: https://overcast.fm/itunes1552776603 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@WhiskeyWebAndWhatnot Whiskey Web and Whatnot Merch Enjoying the podcast and want us to make more?
