Off to see the Wiz
How does Google build Search? What about YouTube and Google Drive? We rely on Chrome’s Lighthouse scores when optimizing our websites, but what does Google prioritize? Recently the Angular and Wiz teams announced their intention to responsibly merge their internal frontend framework, Wiz, with Angular to bring some of Wiz’s best ideas to Angular. We’re chatting with Minko from Angular and Jatin from the Wiz team to learn about how Wiz has been used in Google historically, what it’s good at, and why it’s worth bringing some of its ideas to Angular.

Advocating for the future of the open web
Alex & James Moore, founding members of the Open Web Advocacy (OWA), join Amal to talk about the critical work the OWA has been doing to ensure users have browser choice and that web apps can be first-class citizens on mobile devices. We learn about how an ad-hoc group of software engineers worked with regulators, legislators & policymakers to help drive some of the most impactful legislation curbing anti-competitive behaviors on the web for tech giants such as Apple, Google & Microsoft via the EU’s Digital Markets Act (DMA). Tune in for this deeply important & timely discussion as we also unpack recent events with Apple and their DMA (un)compliance, and how the OWA helped successfully organize thousands of web developers from around the world to hold ground for a free & open web.

Getting a pulse on your Core Web Vitals 🩺
This week, Amal and Nick are joined by Rick Viscomi and Annie Sullivan from the Chrome team to dive into Core Web Vitals, a set of performance metrics geared towards helping developers surface web page quality signals that are key to delivering great user experiences. We deconstruct the different vitals and learn how they are helpful, as well as introduce the newest vital to hit the scene, Interaction to Next Paint (INP).

Great pod for front end devs!
I’m a big fan of JS Party and look forward to it coming out every week. They have a rotating cast of hosts and interesting guests talking about new and interesting topics in the space. Definitely helps me stay on top of developments in the industry.

I don’t even use Apple Podcasts.
Their own website Changelog.com is way better.
A developer podcast made by people actually developing things 👏
An Absolute Must Hear for All JavaScript and/or Web Developers
5 STARS. I absolutely recommend this podcast to ALL web developers, as well as anyone who codes in JavaScript; no other podcast comes close. Whether you are a fully experienced senior dev or a novice hobbyist, there is always something fun to learn for everyone. I love how everyone on the panel has their own wacky personality, especially the Tom-and-Jerry-esque relationship between Jerod Santo and Nick Nisi on the topic of TypeScript (it never gets old). As always, thank you for the awesome content at the end of each work week. You guys rock!! 🤩😎🥳🥂🎉🎸
