Embracing New Tech, JavaScript, and the W3WC NFT Launch

The beauty of tech is that it keeps evolving. As a developer, it's important to keep evolving too. Whether that's trying new frameworks, starting side projects, or adopting emerging tech.

JavaScript, for example, has taken on a whole new purpose since it was developed in the 90s to support a web browser. The language keeps developers like Robbie intrigued with features that seem underpromoted and underused by the community. At ShipShape, Chuck and Robbie are always experimenting. They're embracing Astro with plans to transition their website from Nuxt, developing a scheduling app, and most importantly they just launched the Whiskey Web and Whatnot NFT.

In this episode, Chuck and Robbie talk about underrated JavaScript features, where to find the Whiskey Web and Whatnot NFT, and why Robbie can't decide on a new car.

Quotes

[22:58] - "Internally, we're known for some technologies, but we're always experimenting with different things coming up as much as we can." ~ Chuck Carpenter [https://twitter.com/CharlesWthe3rd]

[39:42] - "So the cool thing about Astro is they have support for a lot of different types of frameworks like Vue, Preact, React, and Svelte. If it's a hot thing that someone has mentioned recently, they've got it." ~ Robbie Wagner [https://twitter.com/rwwagner90]

[41:44] - "I think for people that like React and want something that's not React just because React is super old, you could try Solid out." ~ Robbie Wagner [https://twitter.com/rwwagner90]
