Valeri Karpov, maintainer of the popular Mongoose library for Nodejs, visits the show again to talk about a new Vue 3 feature of provide/inject and how it's much better than props, how he uses Vue templates inside Node, tests template output with the cheerio library, and then how he uses plain js, html, and css files for email templates. As always, they end with picks, including a discussion of the The Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings books, and movies, and as always, Steve tops it off with his amazing dad jokes.
