Audience questions
Wes Bos
Maker that I have. So the most shipped last quarter, which is April 1st to June 30th, in that, like, these things that people wanna tune in for this type of stuff. I thought we would go through our setup and recording process,
Scott Tolinski
3, 4 years ago. It's wild.
Scott Tolinski
Yeah. I don't know. I I think I have some ideas about What my sickest pick might be. I mean, I I had some pretty sick picks. I I did Darknet Diaries a long time before. I think anybody else was on that. I don't wanna, like, claim To be, you know, the reason they're successful, but I I did, that'd be really awesome to watch, like, football game at or something like that. Right? Put on the football. Put on the game and have a beer or even watch movies at night. We have a little fire pit. Right? But there's I don't wanna have an outdoor TV. That seems ridiculous.
Wes Bos
Already know and have really good overlap, so there's not too much of issue there. And we haven't had to turn anyone down.
Scott Tolinski
I don't know if I had anticipated,
Wes Bos
my, like, 10 year old c nine twenty webcam.
Wes Bos
Like, you can go to Costco and get, like, a and then we sorta just Giver. Usually, the guest is interesting enough that we have more to talk about than we possibly could fit, I think so. Yeah. 2, Steve Sanders asked, how do you resolve disagreements
Scott Tolinski
like, podcasts and that kind of thing. Oh, yeah. Yeah. It's hard to hard to track those. Cold brew. I think a lot of people ask about the cold brew Yeah.
Scott Tolinski
a TV cart, Welcome to the 500th
Scott Tolinski
I could take it down. You know, you could just take it around the whole backyard. No problem. So So did you actually do this? Looking at doing, technically. That's a great idea. I really like that. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. TVs, man, you know, they're
Scott Tolinski
So yeah. No. I I saw your frame. The frame looks awesome. It. I I don't know if I have
Scott Tolinski
I just the monitor arm that I sick picked, but I wouldn't say that's my sickest pick. I think a lot of my sick pics have have come from,
Scott Tolinski
Hasn't been a sponsor where we're like, we're uncomfortable with this product or we don't Yeah. Feel comfortable recommending this to our it. The answer, it's not something that we've seen or tried or used before. So Yeah. Yeah. We and we haven't there was that one. It was like magic mind, which is like a Oh, yeah. It. I have they sent me a sample. I haven't,
Wes Bos
off of, and then it. Link clicks is
Wes Bos
This is mostly from my user's page, though, not from the podcast.
Wes Bos
Or if I put it on my, like, users page, you can see if people buy it. It. And definitely, the roller blade wheels was just like a next level. Like, oh my goodness. Everybody who got them was just like, these are the best thing ever. And if if you're not sure, most office chairs have either 10 or 11 millimeter, CS
Wes Bos
Amazon would have He can only do
Wes Bos
Like snake oil if it's if it's not good. You know, I I asked on Twitter. I was like, is it good or not? And, like, it was about half and half, so I have no idea there. But, like, with with one of those, like, maybe not, you know, like, a Mhmm. It's a it's a things that require a bit more research.
Scott Tolinski
clicked on thing that I had to get to the analytics, and then it says all time downloads, 22
Wes Bos
I don't think we've had, like, sponsor disagreements. It's usually pretty cut and dry
Wes Bos
and I put them you can put them on your office chair instead, and it's just a dream to roll around on them. And it. You just it it just feels more comfortable because you Yeah. 15 days of straight listening, like, not sleeping or anything.
Wes Bos
haven't tried it yet, but that was one I was like, I'm not gonna be forgot a debug statement in and ended up with a customer, got, like, 50 rolls of toilet paper delivered to their house, Like, many times.
Wes Bos
which I made $23
Wes Bos
60 inch,
Wes Bos
it. Like, question asker.
Scott Tolinski
that's that kind of
Wes Bos
like, the the if we recommend signing on Amazon, we put an Amazon affiliate link, it. And I can see, like, people buy it.
Scott Tolinski
That's a good question. I think for me, live shows doing the like, when we started the podcast,
Wes Bos
I I don't think that
Scott Tolinski
and slower.
Wes Bos
It's it. And it's probably not probably not a good idea, It. Alright. Let's get on into it. This is pretty exciting. We just passed,
Scott Tolinski
In this past year, let me see what the most
Wes Bos
My 2nd fic by far was rollerblade wheels 4. Oh, yeah. That's a good one. Like, I can see,
Wes Bos
Rain design laptop stand. Yeah. That's all from my user's page. I think that one gets a bit more traffic.
Wes Bos
like, pick of the week. Mhmm. And I always love that because there's always just some random little gadget that somebody who is very opinionated about these things
Wes Bos
every little movement you make with your body, your chair sort of just adjusts for it. It's It's such a good if you haven't done it, I recommend that you do it. Yeah. I was just thinking about that. I was I wanted to get a,
Wes Bos
recommending this like more lessons per episode than any other episode we've ever done, it is
Wes Bos
For the longest time, my wife's like, I want the Frame TV because it's on, like, Pinterest, and it looks like art. I'm like, there's no way that there's no way that's a good TV. You know? Like, I get it. It's thin. It looks like art, but, absolutely, that's gonna sound like crap. There's nowhere for the speakers to go, And you gotta get a soundbar, and, like, there's no way it looks good. And, man, was I wrong? Thing looks awesome. Sounds amazing. Like, not amazing, but, like, I I bought a soundbar to to plug it in, and we we started playing it without the soundbar. I was like, oh, this is just as good as the TV we used to have. So stats for sneaking around, getting around stuff. That was a really good one. And we'll move on to the next section, which is our favorite guess. I don't know if this is fair or not, but if you look back it was Gatsby and Next were different animals,
Scott Tolinski
We we get wild. It's there's no doubt about it.
Wes Bos
As
Scott Tolinski
pretty cheap nowadays to get, like, even, like, a a $200 TV or something. We're talking about that.
Scott Tolinski
it. How what has been the sickest pick for each of you?
Wes Bos
Most of the shows, we're both fairly dialed in on the topic. Sometimes, it's just like, I'm gonna take this one and Talk about the topic that I know a lot about, and those shows are really good as well.
Scott Tolinski
old TV that we could, like, wheel out onto like, okay. It. We have a really nice backyard patio So what's this madness, you might ask?
Scott Tolinski
So it's like, well, what do I do if there's nowhere to good to put an outdoor TV, but it'd be really great to be have it able to have it. I was like, well, what if we have, like, a a Old TV on a TV cart in the garage that I could just wheel out and plug in, and then everything is just done via Wi Fi. So it's not like you have to have, like, a cable box or whatever. It's a TV and a plug. You plug it in as a speaker.
Scott Tolinski
1 question here is array and object methods to make, And then that's cut off. I don't remember what the rest of it. 20
Scott Tolinski
get smooth wheeling outdoors, wait. We didn't do spooky stories and
Wes Bos
the office chair wheels,
Scott Tolinski
it. Slightly on a lag. Like, each time we do the the rock, paper, scissors thing, it gets slower and slower
Scott Tolinski
from For this show, but for any type of, to join in San Francisco or virtually. This thing takes place on September 28th,
Wes Bos
60 days or something on Amazon. Yeah. I know. It's Let me see here what my
Scott Tolinski
for a let me see.
Wes Bos
it. Was 15 people bought Like, decent TV for a couple $100.
Scott Tolinski
then I got into, man, putting roller blade wheels on that. Then 20,000,000 100. So, like, What
Sentry sponsor
Scott Tolinski
And check out their conference,
Scott Tolinski
1st about Sentry because Sentry
Scott Tolinski
Dex
Scott Tolinski
Sort the Madness.
Scott Tolinski
is hosting
Scott Tolinski
is payments hub. Let's talk
Scott Tolinski
developer
Scott Tolinski
And this conference is called other times, I've I missed 1 episode, is Wes Bos. Hey, everybody.
Scott Tolinski
via Sentry.
Scott Tolinski
So we'll also have a link to this thing in our show notes, but thank you so much for I know this is 500th episode. Century's been there us a lot of those 500 episodes for us. They have been a major sponsor and a major supporter of Syntax. So,
Scott Tolinski
experiences.
Scott Tolinski
as we It's gonna sound ridiculous, but I wanted to get a
Scott Tolinski
the movement for a better, more reliable
Scott Tolinski
it. It would mean a lot to us if you went ahead and checked out their conference and told them that you heard about it from syntax. So go ahead and click on the CTA in our show notes or head on over to century.ioforward/eventsforward/decks Again, this is a,
Scott Tolinski
for every developer to join templating in
Scott Tolinski
Come to DEX to engage with developers who share their epic Fails and glorious saves.
Scott Tolinski
sort the madness. It's a conference to help you sort and have more reliable code there's the fundamental server side, the fundamental HTML CSS, and now The fundamentals
Scott Tolinski
It's a never ending need to deploy stable code quickly.
Discuss podcast recording process
Wes Bos
we have a potluck, and we're like, oh, yeah. We just need to pull some questions from the potluck questions.
Wes Bos
It. Sometimes it's, Over the years, Libsyn has adjusted how they calculate things at a at a certain time. Like, Spotify was its own thing. Yeah.
Scott Tolinski
specific APIs and whatnot. Yeah. That's usually the general flow.
Wes Bos
We won't go into the gear because we've talked about the gear us. Like, prolific with their thoughts.
Wes Bos
Let's go in to the next section, which is the top 10 episodes Ever.
Wes Bos
Extensively. Ad nauseam, and I'm in the middle of
Wes Bos
just because it's It's morphed over the years into to what we have.
Scott Tolinski
We always like to say that it's somewhat relaxed fit because, you know, typically, we're we're coming in pretty well researched on, doing a live a show or and if I I did, like, I don't know if I anticipated what it would be like,
Wes Bos
to syntax recording.
Wes Bos
So let's let's go into our our recording process right now. So we record it. Every Monday, now that we have 3 episodes, we pretty much dedicate the entire day, Some sick pics. I love the sick pics. I'm glad we did it. I remember listening to one of Leo Laporte's podcasts, and they have,
Scott Tolinski
Yeah. Becoming a big big win for creating this kind of stuff over time.
Scott Tolinski
we're trying to generate content ideas.
Scott Tolinski
but getting it dialed in. Hey. Does this sound good? What about the how how about now?
Wes Bos
especially, like, we have guests. It's it's one thing to make Scott sit there and ask keep asking if it sounds okay. But it's another thing if there's a guest order that's sitting there waiting for me to figure out what's going on,
Wes Bos
And if that's the case, then
Wes Bos
So our recording process is once we have our notes, we generally do bullet points On it, for the guests, we now highly sensitive information. You wanna check it out. They have lots of really good code examples as well. Thank you, PaymentsHub, for sponsoring.
Wes Bos
So, yeah, they they nicely put it all in for you into it, so we cracked 20,000,000, which is wild to think about, now that I that you talk about it. It has to be absolutely. Like, oh, yeah. That that's super cool. I'm so stoked to have these people on. And Almost all of our sponsors that is the case, or I I think all of them so far. Yeah. Totally.
Wes Bos
in an hour. So it's usually not too much of an issue, and then we sort of just go for it. Sometimes we do
Scott Tolinski
the topics. And and by research, Usually, the people that we're having on are are people who are experts in things we don't know much about. So what we're researched in isn't we're researched in what types of things we want to talk about. But for the most part, we like to have it be a little bit more organic. This isn't ever intended, Especially with guests, it'd just be like a sales pitch. Now tell us about your latest product here. What what what is this thing that you would love to sell to, You know, the the 20,000,000 downloads that we would have of this show. You know? Yeah.
Wes Bos
All of these episodes are a bit older, To make money. No. Does that really you no. It's to make a make you a better developer.
Wes Bos
Exactly.
Favorite episodes
Wes Bos
because it's fun to just chitchat 500 episodes, let's do the math really quickly.
Wes Bos
because we always get
Wes Bos
What was that called? that has merchants on it, unless something like Shopify, and you need to onboard them, you need to
Scott Tolinski
template languages go and and things that we've used in the past. And I just knew you were gonna get a kick out of its simplicity and and just in general, the the nice developer experience about it. So for me, it was, like, one of those things where I was, like, I'm so excited To teach
Wes Bos
us how to use Svelte, why I like it so much, and and that was fun for me. My favorites are definitely all the fundamentals episodes. I very much enjoy working on those and recording them. The office setup 1, I really like,
Wes Bos
So maybe we should do another
Scott Tolinski
And, again, it's it's kind of like,
Scott Tolinski
production. I have now been, you know, put to the flames here in this industry. So this to me is one that kind of normalizes And then we both pick scissors over and over again every time.
Scott Tolinski
web episode number 60. That was so long ago. Yeah. Scraping private APIs, proxies, and alternative
Wes Bos
one of mine. We told some stories of 24,
Wes Bos
About gear,
Scott Tolinski
horror stories or something. Yeah. Or horror.
Wes Bos
Scott, what are your favorite episodes? I've just been racking my brains trying to understand it. My favorite episodes
Wes Bos
what are the the other ones? The one that I did was, like, the gray web, like, laid out how things work. You get a request. You can do stuff on the server. You can do a response. Just sort of understanding, like, what is the server side? What is the server side? Number I was very wrong about that. Yeah. You could go into between the 2 of you on choosing topics, sponsors, etcetera? to what sponsor or wanna sponsor is because it's a lot of money to sponsor. So it's usually companies that
Scott Tolinski
3 2019, 2020, 2 years. We've done it 4 episodes,
Scott Tolinski
the
Scott Tolinski
And we're compiling them for this coming up Halloween. We would love to get your horror stories because they are so that's, like, one of my favorite things is is, like,
Scott Tolinski
something that Everyone kinda goes through.
Scott Tolinski
I don't know, but that's a,
Wes Bos
stories. So we've done them 6 times
Scott Tolinski
And,
Wes Bos
And think about oh, that was a really good one.
Scott Tolinski
specifically because we all end up in situations. If you haven't listened to those, there's it. 2 years of spooky stories, I think, that we've done now. 3 years we've done it now. You think we've done it for 3 years?
Wes Bos
Just if you have any of those horror stories, send them to Scott and I. You can email me, [email protected], I am stoked to be here. Actually, we had an episode 0.
Scott Tolinski
And one thing that, like, for me specifically is I just knew Wes was going to like it. We we have kind of a same it. We have a kind of the same history in terms of,
Scott Tolinski
Crazy on
Wes Bos
solutions.
Scott Tolinski
it's one of those things when you're in this industry. It's it's sort of like a stepping stone where you're like, alright. Now I've I've done something I I mean, sure. I I don't know. Maybe. It seems like it could be. It. This episode is sponsored by 2 amazing companies. One of which is Sentry and the other Really sharing this thing that we've all done. We've all been in situations where something embarrassing or something intense has happened where it. You you or someone you know has done something,
Wes Bos
Another one on those. That was definitely freelancing
Scott Tolinski
accidentally has caused mass chaos or even just a little bit of chaos.
Wes Bos
that's like a West Boss specialty right there. Yeah. That one was Hidden hidden web. Hidden. The hidden web. What's it called? Hidden? I thought that's what you called it. Yeah. Let's let's find that. If it's my favorite, we need to tell people what it's called. One sec. Undocumented
Scott Tolinski
Horrors for horror And you can get there at century.ioforward/eventsforward/decks, DEX or DEX, Sort the Madness, the conference Instigate If you
Scott Tolinski
2 years. We did 1 hasty and 3 tasties full of spooky stories.
Wes Bos
We definitely did it and We definitely did it in 2021. Maybe it was, do just sort of like a rough outline of things we wanna talk to the guest about, Number 4 is the React episode. This is one of the very first episodes we ever did and Basically explained all the It's it's accurate, though, because those are the types of things in JavaScript that really, like, make you proficient is being able to it. Manipulate data like that. So 20 JavaScript array method and object methods to make you a better developer, still super relevant. Those things will kick But that was episode number 43. Yeah. That that was a really good one. Basically, a lot of we got a lot of feedback from that one. I was like, oh, I didn't realize that There was this 1 or that one. I didn't realize that that was a better way to do it instead of x, y, or z. So I really like that one. Number what number are we at? Don. 1,000,000.
Scott Tolinski
my favorite episodes, I love the a spooky story Oh, yeah. You know, you know, start the movement there.
Wes Bos
like, reverse engineering.
Scott Tolinski
I also really like the, Scott teaches Wes Svelte episode
Wes Bos
Anyone listening, if you have a horror story in web development, You deleted the production database. You accidentally put a swear word in your console log.
Scott Tolinski
that d e x.
Scott Tolinski
Yeah. Because I like talking about CS.
Wes Bos
You flipped the client's website upside down. It. I I heard a horror story. Somebody
20 million downloads milestone
Scott Tolinski
it. 19,800,000
Scott Tolinski
We use Libsyn host the podcast. And if you log in to Libsyn Libsyn, the very first thing it says is they are you're at 19 and and 800
Scott Tolinski
It's wild because it's it's so funny.
Scott Tolinski
drastically different numbers? Yeah. There's We will see yes. That's the next time we'll check-in with you. Yeah. Episode 1,000.
Scott Tolinski
with different numbers
Scott Tolinski
what is their why do they have 2 different sessions that say all time downloads
Scott Tolinski
to all time downloads, and then, like, oh, we're so close to 20,000,000. It would be really great if we could say we're at it. 20,000,000. Woah. This episode. And then I click on stats
Top 10 most popular episodes
Wes Bos
and the reason behind that is because we actually get pretty significant, like, backlog,
Scott Tolinski
Yeah. Yeah. So for Costco and, like, just look at the cheapest TV there, and it's probably gonna be way better than ATV about JavaScript.
Scott Tolinski
than at the higher ups of the list than anyone. Yeah. Those are great episodes. I think they're they're just really easy. It. Fundamental episodes. They're fundamental. Yeah.
Scott Tolinski
And I would I would imagine that if you went through our stats
Wes Bos
A
Scott Tolinski
I wouldn't mind redoing
Wes Bos
a Yeah. Thing. Yeah.
Wes Bos
is how to get better at problem solving.
Wes Bos
I for I don't even remember that one.
Scott Tolinski
That's some podcasting, man. I do it, though, with podcasts that I like, if I get into a podcast Oh, yeah. I'll I'll binge their entire Overall, I would bet that the fundamentals show up more basically It. That that title,
Wes Bos
Totally.
Scott Tolinski
How to build,
Wes Bos
so that was a big one. And then the number 1, Scott, this one is by far it. With 10,000 Rich Harris on was really good.
Wes Bos
and
Scott Tolinski
It is the fundamentals
Wes Bos
How do you tackle it?
Scott Tolinski
500.
Wes Bos
of podcasts. Because, like, you think, like, oh, and now we have 500. There's Absolutely no way you're gonna listen to them all, but there's some gems in there that you maybe should be listening to. So And how do we push those out to Yeah.
Wes Bos
listens. People will, So the top 10 episodes number 10 Other times, we have to come up with ideas. It. Sometimes we're overflowing with 2 months' worth of ideas, and other times, we're like, I have no idea what to to talk about. So That's why it's important to sort of, like, when you do have an idea, to throw it in the list of ideas because then you can come back to and go, oh, yeah. We're gonna talk about like, Web Workers was another one that we said we'd talk about A while ago, we never put that in the list, and I just goes, oh, yeah. We said we would do a show on that, like, 2 months ago. Let's do it. Yeah. I think in general, whether I mean, not even just
Wes Bos
Are like, what? Let's look back at some of the early episodes.
Scott Tolinski
or core stuff or It. Head on over to syntax.fm
Wes Bos
Make money.
Wes Bos
No. It's it's not. I just looked it up. I was like, that's Scott's
Wes Bos
divided by 60. That's Better at problem. November 20th,
Scott Tolinski
Good at teaching that type of thing. We both have a lot of experience there, but I I think, HTML and CSS doesn't get any more foundational than that. That's, where it's at. We should put a make out the fundamentals page and, like, link those up. That's on my That's my list of things Yeah. To do for the, It. I don't know if we have We play rock, paper, scissors really poorly over chat is how we do it. We replay rock, paper, scissors over webcam, but since we're both, like,
Wes Bos
hours.
Scott Tolinski
It. I know. Just click or or search. You have to command f to find anything. Yeah. Probably should add that JavaScript tooling, Anytime you can have that capture system where you're just putting something into the into the doc, the moment that it pops into your head which is funny because you Google TV cart, and you're like, oh, that's, like, high school stuff. I wanted to get a TV cart a conference,
Wes Bos
And we've had people be like, yeah. Like, I it It took me 4 months, but I listened to every single episode, which is wild because We are also sponsored today by Payments of dev portal, their integrated payments provider to onboard and underwrite your merchants, process their payments, and provide your merchants with business analytics via the API. So Payments Hub is a really cool company because,
Wes Bos
Quite a few people do listen through the website because I know that because when something goes wrong with the website, I hear about it within 20 minutes, We wake up on Monday morning. We start to start poking around the list of episodes. We have, like, an ongoing list of episodes, ideas that we want.
Wes Bos
some fundamentals about React.
Wes Bos
At the time,
Scott Tolinski
I that was actually really good, and I totally have forgotten about that episode. I did not forget about that because I've been it. In many high stress troubleshoot situations in my life. So, yeah, let's go back and listen to it. Time.
Scott Tolinski
Words like React. Yeah. React. Hey. They searched for it. They found it. Number 3, the fundamentals, HTML plus CSS. No surprise on this one. We all have to have good fundamentals.
Wes Bos
Mhmm. So if you were to divide that by
Scott Tolinski
Doing our conference talks, we gotta learn things quick, so we did an episode on how to learn things quickly. One of my favorite episodes ever, personally. Yeah. And we we also had a a second one that was kinda similar, keeping up with the Kardashians.
Wes Bos
is
Scott Tolinski
GraphQL
Wes Bos
Is that true? what? We're recording this at the time. There's not it. 500. We're we're about a month ahead in recording, but we just passed 20,000,000,
Wes Bos
That was Scott's baby that episode. It's not the same one, but the the Kardashians one was always in our top,
Scott Tolinski
I I love it. Wes's notes. Scott came up with the title for this one. I know. And I remember,
Wes Bos
versus Next. This was a very, very popular one.
Wes Bos
Absolutely.
Scott Tolinski
Number 5 is how to learn new things quickly. This is something that Wes and I both have to do, especially doing this podcast, doing our tutorials,
Scott Tolinski
and then to the list right now. So number 9 is how to build an API where we basically dove into Except for actually 498 from doing the podcast that has surprised you? Century can't fix the madness, but we can start sorting it through with you. So So you're gonna want to register
Wes Bos
CS Versus code, CSS grid, CSS BEM. I'm trying to, like, see. Like, is there anything that we did a show on that is just like, oh, man. That's
Wes Bos
Number 2 is React Hooks. This was when React Hooks first came out, And everybody pretty much needed to learn how React Hooks work,
Wes Bos
which is pretty good. That means people are are constantly going to it.
Scott Tolinski
Catalog everything.
Scott Tolinski
JavaScript. Like we mentioned, man,
Wes Bos
endgame, reading again, make it oh, yeah. Basically, these are just a bunch of tips to be like, I have a problem.
Scott Tolinski
versus REST, but now we'd have GraphQL versus REST versus TRCP,
Scott Tolinski
From 2019 And,
Wes Bos
they all rolled out new APIs as well. Yeah. They they, have evolved quite a bit since that episode too. Yeah. It's Kinda interesting looking back at some of the 1st episodes from 2018 It's also wild to me that we don't have pagination on the syntax website.
Scott Tolinski
Yeah. Is a totally fine show, but that landscape has changed quite a bit.
Wes Bos
Gatsby
Wes Bos
either go back to episodes that are a couple years old because they're on a specific topic, Or somebody discovers the podcast and they go ham on it listening to 2 or 3 a day.
Scott Tolinski
it. The the different types of setups that you could have for an API and the types of things you would want to know whether that is, like, cookies, it. Like, what is the server side? What is the server side? Number 7 is 20 JavaScript
Wes Bos
that episode. Yeah. How to build an API in 2021.
Wes Bos
2019.
Scott Tolinski
the the funny thing about that, the episode title, is that if you don't if you didn't get the context for that, if you haven't listened to that episode, go listen to it because I revealed that when I told Courtney that I was going to call the episode that she told me that Wes is going to leave the show. You you need to not do that. Wes is going to quit the show if you Start suggesting things like that, so, that was a good title for me.
Wes Bos
if you think about 1,000.
Wes Bos
Let's go to the next section, which is our favorite episodes.
Scott Tolinski
You know, different types of languages people are getting into. There there's a lot here.
Scott Tolinski
The fundamentals episodes are some of the best ones that we've done overall because Yeah. Les and I, I think, are just both
Wes Bos
to do for the podcast is Yeah. I would love to have, like, collections more more episodes than or more horror stories than we can fit in a single episode. Oh, that's For 3 years, we've done it to a year. So, yeah, we we'll say this now.
Wes Bos
