This week on our panel, we have Joe Eames.JOE:  Hey there.CHUCK:  AJ O’Neal.AJ:  Live again from Provo.CHUCK:  Jamison Dance.JAMISON:  Hey friends.CHUCK:  Merrick Christensen.MERRICK:  Hey guys.CHUCK:  I’m Charles Max Wood from DevChat.TV and we have two special guests this week. Pete Hunt.PETE:  Hey guys.CHUCK:  And Jordan Walke.JORDAN:  Hi.CHUCK:  Since you guys haven’t been on the show before, do you want to introduce yourselves? We’ll have Pete go first.PETE:  Sure. So my name’s Pete. I work on general React stuff these days. But my day job is building the Instagram web experience. If you go to Instagram.com, we have a bunch of frontend stuff you can play with and a bunch of backend infrastructure that supports all that. That’s what I mostly work on. We’re big users of React at Instagram so I ended up contributing a lot to the React core as well.JAMISON:  So did you come from Instagram or from Facebook and then to work on Instagram?PETE:  Well it was actually a pretty good story just in terms of the integration of the two companies. I was originally at Facebook for a couple of years and we acquired Instagram and they came in and they wanted to build a web presence. Facebook’s core competency is definitely web technologies and Instagram hasn’t historically focused on that. So we were able to take the Facebook web expertise and get Instagram up and running really quickly. I came from the Facebook side but the team is still very much a separate team, their own building, that kind of thing. So that’s my background.CHUCK:  Awesome.JAMISON:  Sweet.CHUCK:  And Jordan?Special Guests: Jordan Walke and Pete Hunt.
