REACTIVE

Conferences, conferences and more conferences, everybody is attending conferences. Beware of conference Crud. The state of computer vision in JavaScript. What is the definition of a junior engineer? Ember Guides are getting serious. Yargs is very piraty.

The Internet is mad. iPhone silliness. Sadly DailyJS and JSConf US are coming to an end. Raquel will be at Strange Loop next week. Kahlil got a PR merged into Gulp. Workflow stuff. npm orgs, search, shrinkwrap and more. Cilantro tastes like soap/awesome.

The 10-minute Apple event summary. Henning introduces Fido - the thing that fetches iTunes reviews. Node 4 is out! An explanation of what Semantic Versioning is. Kahlil provides an update on the Gittens project by the Reactivists. The podcast also has a recipe repo now! We discuss the RockBot illustration by me-stevens. Recap of the NightlyBuild conf. What we do to balance our work with the rest of life.

This week Etsy’s CTO wrote about building culture, and Brad Frost calls for "Death to Bullshit." The after-work conference NightlyBuild has a refreshing speaker lineup. Raquel explains how the book "The Design of Everyday Things" translates to our field. Will Binns-Smith built the Chrome extension that Raquel wished for in our last episode. We also talk a lot about cats and dogs.

Raquel had some CSS issues this week and crafted a very amusing tweet about it. Our Slack channel is slowly growing and is now probably the best place to get in touch with us. We also discuss the Ember Community versioning project and the 2.0 release of Ember itself and how we wish more projects would follow this example. Kahlil released an npm package called esnow, which he discussed in a previous episode.

Kahlil declares Raquel a Podlebrity and explains what that means. We then discuss the pending deletion of Raquel's Wikipedia page and learn about Browserify and several of the related *ify modules such as Uglifyify. Henning confesses that he is not entirely over vim. In closing we discuss the various static site hosting options out there.

Our team is complete again for this episode! Raquel, Kahlil and Henning discuss Google's announcement about Alphabet and speculate about what it all means. Raquel shares her enthusiasm about the screen sharing app Screenhero and how it compares to other services and apps in the space. Henning reports on his progress with implementing JSON-API and last but not least Kahlil talks about Redux and client-side state management.

Raquel and Henning tackle this weeks topics without Kahlil who had other stuff to take care of. They speculate about what Github might do with the giant wad of cash they got in their series B funding and talk about how developers could benefit from knowing more about Opsy stuff. The last topic of the show is about meetups and how some of them are trying to set themselves apart by mixing it up with Music and having a cover charge that gets donated to charity...

Raquel is back and shares her experience at the Recurse Center, where she was a resident last week. We then discuss the difficulties of search in general and how this applies to npm's package search. Kahlil introduces Henning and Raquel to Observables and various patterns in Angular2.

While Raquel is Hacker in Residence at the Recurse Center in NYC this week Kahlil and Henning do their best to record a late night Reactive episode and discuss a range of topics, such as Henning's apparent abandoning of vim ???? and Jafar Husain's insane knowledge about Reactive Programming, ES6 and his talks about how they apply Reactive Programming at Netflix.
