On this week's episode of DevDiscuss, we dive into a topic that most of us here on DEV could probably talk about all day long: TOOLS! The ones we love to use, the resources that make our lives easier, the sites that are of particular interest to developers and designers.
@ben and I were joined by two of the engineers who make DEV a welcoming, pleasant experience on both the front and backend.
Josh Puetz (@joshpuetz) is the Principal Software Engineer at DEV. He brings 20+ years of experience architecting and building web applications and is well-versed in Ruby and Rails, a test first designer, leader/amplifier of the hard-working engineering team at DEV, all-around great human being.
Lisa Sy (@lisasy) is the Lead Product Designer at DEV — the first product designer at DEV, in fact! In her role here, she works as a full-stack digital product designer, front-end developer, and leader of our platform's design culture and brings over a decade of experience. As you can imagine, Lisa is also a great human being. It's a Team DEV prerequisite 😉
In this episode, Ben, Josh, Lisa, and I discuss
- Our hardware preferences and the reasoning behind them
- The tools Josh and Lisa use every day for both engineering and product design work
- The differences between the tools we use in both our work and personal lives
- A peek inside how we get work done as a team at DEV
