Tech Careers, Hot Takes, and Wix with Emmy Cao and Yoav Abrahami

We are joined by Yoav Abrahami, Chief Architect and Head of Velo to discuss the transformation of Wix from a Website builder to an application development platform. Wix Velo enables developers to implement code that runs either on the client-side or on Wix hosted Node server, while constructing the UI using a WYSIWYG page editor. In this way, Wix provides an interesting alternative to app development frameworks such as NextJS and Nuxt. Sponsors "Request Metrics, who does performance monitoring and can help with issues like too much cumulative layout shift"  Chuck's Resume Template Developer Book Club starting with Clean Architecture by Robert C. Martin Become a Top 1% Dev with a Top End Devs Membership Links Velo Twitter: @yoavabrahami Picks   AJ - The Big Short: Inside the Doomsday Machine  AJ - Mentour Pilot  AJ - The Matt Walsh Show   Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/javascript-jabber/donationsPrivacy &amp; Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
