You all know ThePrimeagen can't read, so this is a great format for him to really shine. Teej is here to make sure that Prime knows who the guest is and also to interrupt Prime wherever possible

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Chris Lattner: Creator of LLVM, Swift, and Mojo
Q: How did you tackle the hesitancy for Swift when many were used to Objective-C?
Lattner structured the conversation around reassuring stakeholders by emphasizing how Swift would not break compatibility, allowing the Objective-C APIs to remain intact while enhancing the developer experience.
DHH: On Competency, Coding and Children
Q: What is the biggest problem you see with new hires in programming right now?
The biggest problem is that many new applicants rely on AI to write their cover letters and applications, making them blend in and lose uniqueness. Junior recruits need to showcase their sparkle, commitment to learning, and willingness to be good programmers, rather than just relying on generic applications.
Taylor Otwell: Laravel, PHP, OSS & VC
Q: How do you know when to listen to different people and their feedback?
Try to wait a little bit based on their experience, expertise, and general attitude, and form a core group of contributors for feedback.
Taylor Otwell: Laravel, PHP, OSS & VC
Q: Why raise at all? What does that enable you guys to do? What does that unlock that maybe wasn't there before?
The main reason was to take on bigger projects like Laravel Cloud and try to build something amazing for the community.
