Office Hours with Retsam19 and MapleLeaf
Episode description
Retsam19 and MapleLeaf are long-time Reactiflux MVPs who have spent countless hours helping out others in the community. Event MC'd by Carl Vitullo, and hosted on Reactiflux.
MapleLeaf and Retsam19 are two of our resident TS experts and longtime server MVPs. Both are active in the open source community as highly skilled engineers, and Retsam19 moderates the official TypeScript Discord server. Through our conversation, we discussed how we got our starts in software development and our first jobs, the value we've gotten from the online communities we're a part of (and how tools like ChatGPT might affect that in the future!), the evolution of the JS ecosystem with Bun and Deno, and more.
