Miško Hevery: Creator of AngularJS & now Qwik | The Frontend Masters Podcast Ep.4
The Frontend Masters PodcastShow Notes
(Video Podcast available on Spotify and Youtube) In Episode 4, we dive deep with Miško Hevery, the mind behind AngularJS / Angular and Qwik, as he takes us on a journey from his early days in computer engineering to his impactful years at Google. Miško is one of the few to transition from hardware design all the way to frontend development. We go over the significance of testing in software development, the birth and philosophy of AngularJS, scalability, and code performance. Get a unique view into the evolution of frameworks and web tools from both hardware and software perspectives in this interview with Misko!

More from The Frontend Masters Podcast
In this episode of the Master.dev podcast, Dustin Tower, VP of Learning, sits down with Leah Thompson, DevRel and community engineer at Laravel and Twitch streamer (LeahTCodes), to talk about developer relations, learning in public, and how community can launch a tech career.
In this episode of the Master.dev podcast, Marc Grabanski sits down with Maxi Ferreira, staff frontend engineer at Help Scout and writer of the Front End at Scale newsletter, to talk about frontend architecture, from monolithic apps to micro frontends, and how AI is reshaping the way engineers think about system design. Maxi shares his take on when micro frontends actually make sense (and why most teams should start with a modular monolith instead), the ongoing debate between SPAs and MPAs, and how AI-assisted development is shifting the value of engineering work from implementation to architectural decision-making. He also opens up about his path from teaching himself to code in Argentina using Dreamweaver, to building Help Scout's original design system, to launching Front End at Scale as a way to explore frontend architecture more deeply. If you're interested in frontend architecture, micro frontends, AI-assisted development, design systems, or building a long-term engineering career, this conversation is full of practical insight and hard-won lessons.
In this episode of the Master.dev podcast, Dustin Tauer sits down with Katia Gil Guzman, a developer experience engineer at OpenAI, to talk about her path from learning C and HTML as a kid to building software at Microsoft, founding her own SaaS startup, and working at the intersection of AI, developer tools, and creativity. Katia shares how early curiosity shaped her career, what she learned from working with early users of Azure Cognitive Services and mixed reality, and why the best products often come from your own expertise and passions. She also talks about the value of building for specific users you understand deeply — whether that means a niche industry, a dev tool, or something entirely different. If you’re interested in software engineering, startups, developer tools, AI, or have a creator mindset, this conversation is packed with practical insight and inspiration.
Join us for an inspiring conversation with Will Sentance - the beloved creator of "JavaScript: The Hard Parts" and one of Frontend Masters' most popular instructors!
