kahlil@hey.com (Kahlil Lechelt & Henning Glatter-Götz) — Thu, 27 Aug 2015 09:59:00 +0000

Raquel had some CSS issues this week and crafted a very amusing tweet about it. Our Slack channel is slowly growing and is now probably the best place to get in touch with us. We also discuss the Ember Community versioning project and the 2.0 release of Ember itself and how we wish more projects would follow this example. Kahlil released an npm package called esnow, which he discussed in a previous episode.

3: Ops is More Like Biology

kahlil@hey.com (Kahlil Lechelt & Henning Glatter-Götz) — Fri, 7 Aug 2015 20:10:00 +0000

Raquel and Henning tackle this weeks topics without Kahlil who had other stuff to take care of. They speculate about what Github might do with the giant wad of cash they got in their series B funding and talk about how developers could benefit from knowing more about Opsy stuff. The last topic of the show is about meetups and how some of them are trying to set themselves apart by mixing it up with Music and having a cover charge that gets donated to charity. Food names for Javascript meetups seems to be an up and coming thing.
