Show Notes
Our Bike Shed trio check back in with one another to follow up on some topics that caught their attention over the course of season 1.
Sally covers her time working with React over the last few months and the challenges it still presents to her workflow, Joël goes back over typescripts and the benefits he’s found when debugging, and the cast reflect on the first season as a whole, what they liked, what went well and what they’d like to improve on for season 2.
