For our season finale, we’re talking to one of our team members Siddharth Kshetrapal — Sid, for short — about working at big companies versus small startups, the art of conducting interviews, and how to make a good start at a new company. ======== We want to know what you think about our new podcasts, so we've put together a survey to get your feedback!

Collaboration, especially when it comes to coding environments, can be really tricky. How do you make it so that people can work together easily, whether it's asynchronously or in real time? This week on The CodeSandbox Podcast, we're talking to someone who knows all about collaboration. Our guest is John Lindquist, co-founder of Egghead.io. We talked with him about how we went from creating video tutorials on YouTube to building the entire platform that is Egghead today.

Open Source (with Elizabet Oliveira) Apr 22, 2021

Maintaining open source projects can be fulfilling, but can also be time-consuming and stressful. Luckily, CodeSandbox provides open source maintainers the tools they need to improve documentation, handle bug reports, and test more efficiently. This week, host Sara Vieira talks with Elizabet Oliveira, a senior product designer at Elastic. Listen as Elizabet talks about her journey from being a musician to working in tech, the value of design systems, and how open source projects helped her career.

Prototyping (with Charlie Gerard) Apr 08, 2021

On this first episode of The CodeSandbox Podcast, we're looking at prototyping. Prototyping allows you to test ideas earlier, iterate more, and create better products. Whether it's a static website, a component, or a full-stack web app, prototyping is extremely important when it comes to project development. Our guest this week is Charlie Gerard, senior front-end developer at Netlify and author of Practical Machine Learning in JavaScript. We'll talk with her about machine learning, tech talks, and the process behind prototyping for side projects.
