Connecting the dots in public
Today weâre joined by Shawn âswyxâ Wang, also known as just âswyxâ â and weâre talking about his interesting path to becoming a software developer, what it means to âlearn in publicâ and how heâs been able to leverage that process to not only level up his skills and knowlege, but to also rapidly advance his career. We cover Swyxâs recent writing on the light and dark side of the API economy â something he calls âliving above or below the API,â his thoughts on Cloudflare eating the cloud by playing Go instead of Chess, and we also talk about the work heâs doing at Temporal and howâs taking his frontend skills to the backend.
