  • They - indeed - really appreciate their listeners 😁

    As a long-time listener of the series (since the very first episode!), I of course heard the call to liken the series in recent episodes.

    Since I actually really like listening to the podcasts, I was happy to do so.

    Great stickers were promised as a reward.

    As a listener from Europe, I never expected to actually get any... who sends anything halfway around the globe for such a little thing.

    Until today, when a letter landed in my mailbox!

    A handwritten envelope and with the promised awesome sti... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Async React with Vercel's Aurora Scharff
Q: What is the action props pattern and why is it important?
The action props pattern formalizes how actions are defined and coordinated in a transition, exposing underlying optimizations and error handling to components and libraries, enabling easier adoption across design systems and libraries like Astrix.
Async React with Vercel's Aurora Scharff
Q: How do suspense and cache components work together within the Next.js App Router?
Suspense handles asynchronous loading at the React level, while cache components manage what is cached and how data is refreshed; together they provide a cohesive flow for data fetching and rendering in Next.js apps.
Async React with Vercel's Aurora Scharff
Q: Can you talk a little bit more about how that coordination works?
The coordination is done by wrapping interactions in a transition, letting React manage the asynchronous work and keep the UI responsive, with additional primitives like suspense and cache components to fill different parts of the render cycle.
Zed 1.0... GPUI, Rust, and the future of native apps with Mikayla Maki
Q: What would you say is the single biggest takeaway from GPUI so far?
Rust provides the strongest foundation for safety and performance across the stack, guiding memory management and enabling high-integrity, fast rendering and cooperative features, which makes the overall platform feel cohesive and reliable.
Zed 1.0... GPUI, Rust, and the future of native apps with Mikayla Maki
Q: What is the elevator pitch for Zed and GPUI?
Zed is a fast, lightweight code editor that embeds a GPU-accelerated UI framework (GPUI) and aims to bring core features into the editor itself, reducing reliance on extensions and enabling tight integration with live collaboration and a Rust-based performance backbone.
