Current panelists: Jerod Santo, Kevin Ball (KBall), Nick Nisi, Chris Hiller, Amal Hussein & Amy Dutton. Past panelists: Suz Hinton, Feross Aboukhadijeh, Amelia Wattenberger, Divya Sasidharan, Alex Sexton, Rachel White, Emma Bostian, Ali Spittel, Mikeal Rogers & Jessica Sachs. We talk about the web platform (Chrome, Safari, Edge, Firefox, Brave, etc), front-end frameworks (ReactJS, SolidJS, Svelte, VueJS, AngularJS, etc), JavaScript and TypeScript runtimes (Node, Deno, Bun), web animation, SVG, TailwindCSS, robotics, IoT, and much more. If JavaScript and/or the web touch your life, this show’s for you. Some people search for JSParty and can't find the show, so now the string JSParty is in our description too.","last_synced_at":null,"page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/js-party-javascript-css-web-development"},"episode":{"title":"One last party","slug":"one-last-party","published_at":"2025-02-13T20:20:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/js-party-javascript-css-web-development/one-last-party","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/js-party-javascript-css-web-development","url":"https://changelog.com/jsparty/350","audio_url":"https://op3.dev/e/https://cdn.changelog.com/uploads/jsparty/350/js-party-350.mp3","summary":"The JS Party crew reflects on the state of web development, reviewing past predictions and discussing the impact of AI on the future of engineering.
