If JavaScript and/or the web touch your life, this show’s for you.

Some people search for JSParty and can't find the show, so now the string JSParty is in our description too.

JS Party: JavaScript, CSS, Web Development

Jerod is joined by KBall, Nick & Amy to throw one last JS Party! We review last year's predictions, discuss the state of the web dev world, opine on coding AIs (of course) & divulge what comes next for the JS Party crew. Thank you for partying with us all these years! 💚

One last party

Back at React Summit in New York, KBall & Nick sat down with Tom Occhino & Shruti Kapoor for more fascinating conversations.

Tom Occhino, a key figure in React's history at Facebook (now Meta), reveals the origin story of React, which began when an ads engineer presented a revolutionary approach to web UI rendering. The discussion extends to React's evolution through Next.js.

Then, Shruti Kapoor breaks down React 19's major features, including React Server Components (RSC), the new compiler implementation, and enhanced APIs that promise to streamline development workflows.

React: then & now

At React Summit in New York, KBall & Nick sat down with Kent C. Dodds & Theo Browne for two fascinating conversations. Both of them showed us the whole gamut of their personalities!

Kent shared his insights on effective teaching methodologies and the future of developer education, while diving deep into React and the Remix/React Router ecosystem, and closing on an appeal for kindness int he world. 

Then Theo took us behind the scenes of his developer-focused content creation, from streaming to the origins of the T3 stack, and how his online persona (including T3!) is "just him".

WYSIWYG

Recently, four pillars of the JavaScript community (James Snell, Natalia Venditto, Michael Dawson & Matteo Collina) teamed up to create a resource that lays out nine principles for doing Node.js right in enterprise environments. On this episode, Natalia & Matteo join Jerod to discuss all nine.

Nine pillars of great Node apps

Carmen Huidobro joins Amy, KBall & Nick on the show to talk about her work, the importance of writing docs, and her upcoming conference talk at React Summit US!

It's all about documentation

Vercel CPO, Tom Occhino, joins Jerod for a one-on-one covering React & Next's past, present & future. We discuss the birth of React, Tom's move to Vercel, deploying Next apps to non-Vercel hosts, React as the next jQuery, the viability of Web Components, Vercel customers getting surprise bills & so much more.

How Vercel thinks about Next.js

Jerod & the gang play "Twenty" Questions to get to know Amy, review the big Svelte 5 release, discuss commercial open source & get Nick's report from SquiggleConf!

Kind of a big deal

KBall interviews Jerod about the tools he uses in development, podcasting & business. We start with text editors & terminal tools, move to podcast recording & editing tools, discuss the open source podcasting platform Jerod built in Elixir, then finish with tools to run a small business & our approaches to genAI. Oh, and you don't want to miss Jerod's Big Confession!

Digging through Jerod Santo’s tool box

Jerod & KBall discuss a trio of goings on in/around the web dev world: Evan You's new startup, Matt Mullenweg's WordPress mess & Ryan Carniato's WebComponents debate.

A great horse to bet on

Tomek Sułkowski from TutorialKit joins Jerod to tell him all about the open source toolkit for creating awesome, interactive tutorials without having to code up the hard parts.

Create interactive tutorials the easy way

Nick and Mikeal catch up with Henry Zhu, the maintainer of Babel and host of the Maintainers Anonymous and Hope in Source podcasts. We discuss his path to open source maintainer-ship. We also chat about best practices for interacting with maintainers, while remembering that people are behind open source, and we talk self-care and avoiding burnout, culminating in a self-care repo being created to gather and discuss tips to care for yourself.
