00:00:05.000 --> 00:00:06.109
Colin: Welcome to build and learn.

00:00:06.109 --> 00:00:06.820
My name is Colin.

00:00:07.399 --> 00:00:10.329
CJ: And I'm CJ and we're back again,
just catching up on what we're

00:00:10.329 --> 00:00:11.820
working on, what we're learning.

00:00:12.399 --> 00:00:16.729
And we thought we might kick this
one off with a little fitness update.

00:00:17.380 --> 00:00:22.459
So I, yeah, I mean, we, we talked
about this a while ago and you

00:00:22.509 --> 00:00:26.649
as the listeners are holding us
accountable to some fitness goals here.

00:00:26.709 --> 00:00:31.019
So Colin, you want to, yeah, why don't you
give us a quick update on your fitness?

00:00:32.064 --> 00:00:36.384
Colin: Yeah, for me, I'm trying
to do the James Clear consistency

00:00:36.414 --> 00:00:40.754
over you know, doing like these
Herculean effort type things.

00:00:41.334 --> 00:00:47.244
So I have a plan, a training plan from
Hal Higdon marathon training plan.

00:00:47.254 --> 00:00:51.484
So I'm gearing up for
just it's a 30 week plan.

00:00:51.484 --> 00:00:55.924
So it's not like one of those, like do
a marathon in 12 weeks type of thing.

00:00:55.934 --> 00:01:00.759
It's very slow burn gets you back
into just like, Knocking off the

00:01:00.759 --> 00:01:05.049
runs and then you'll start getting
into the more marathon training plan.

00:01:05.049 --> 00:01:12.399
So I'm hoping to do a marathon in
September with a friend of the show one

00:01:12.399 --> 00:01:14.439
of our friends Calvin, up in Washington.

00:01:15.009 --> 00:01:18.889
And and then potentially
one in December in Honolulu.

00:01:18.969 --> 00:01:20.379
CJ: Ooh, nice.

00:01:21.489 --> 00:01:23.149
Colin: be my first time down to Hawaii.

00:01:23.169 --> 00:01:28.829
So that's the plan and just trying
to get into the habit of it, have the

00:01:28.829 --> 00:01:33.869
rhythm of it, you know, even if it's,
if it's a three mile run, it doesn't

00:01:33.869 --> 00:01:35.299
need to be a fast three mile run.

00:01:35.299 --> 00:01:36.699
It just needs to be done.

00:01:36.839 --> 00:01:37.299
So

00:01:37.364 --> 00:01:37.574
CJ: hmm.

00:01:37.575 --> 00:01:38.094
Mm hmm.

00:01:38.109 --> 00:01:38.239
Colin: that.

00:01:39.094 --> 00:01:43.824
CJ: And what are the long runs in the
first couple of weeks for that program?

00:01:44.789 --> 00:01:50.119
Colin: My first long run this last
weekend was going to be seven miles.

00:01:50.339 --> 00:01:50.909
So

00:01:51.059 --> 00:01:53.869
it's, you know, you still do the
long run on Sundays, the whole

00:01:53.879 --> 00:01:55.269
church of the long run type

00:01:55.269 --> 00:01:55.619
thing.

00:01:56.119 --> 00:02:00.359
And so it'll ramp up to eventually,
usually you do like, eventually

00:02:00.359 --> 00:02:01.799
you get up to like 20 miles.

00:02:02.329 --> 00:02:05.889
a few, maybe four weeks before
the actual marathon, and then you

00:02:05.919 --> 00:02:08.339
taper off into the actual thing.

00:02:08.339 --> 00:02:12.979
And so you don't need to have run a
marathon before you go do the marathon.

00:02:13.519 --> 00:02:17.219
But yeah, just getting into that and
trying to weave in a little bit of

00:02:17.269 --> 00:02:19.089
things like kettlebells and strength.

00:02:19.629 --> 00:02:21.709
A lot of working on the knees.

00:02:21.729 --> 00:02:23.119
They don't work like they used to.

00:02:23.119 --> 00:02:27.349
So making sure that they have the
strength that they need to support

00:02:27.699 --> 00:02:29.029
myself through that whole run.

00:02:29.644 --> 00:02:30.294
CJ: Very cool.

00:02:30.724 --> 00:02:35.624
Is the, the marathon that's in
Washington in November, is it,

00:02:36.094 --> 00:02:37.494
is it in Washington in November?

00:02:37.614 --> 00:02:38.094
I think I

00:02:38.339 --> 00:02:38.789
Colin: September.

00:02:38.789 --> 00:02:39.159
Yeah.

00:02:39.344 --> 00:02:39.904
CJ: or September.

00:02:39.954 --> 00:02:40.254
Okay.

00:02:40.274 --> 00:02:43.774
And is that one like a qualifying
one for Honolulu or can you just go

00:02:43.774 --> 00:02:46.744
to Honolulu even if like, no, okay.

00:02:47.099 --> 00:02:47.309
Colin: Yeah.

00:02:47.309 --> 00:02:47.559
Yeah.

00:02:47.739 --> 00:02:48.389
They're separate.

00:02:48.419 --> 00:02:51.699
This one's just, you know, my
brother wants to do the Honolulu one.

00:02:51.709 --> 00:02:56.769
So I'm training with him and then
Calvin wants to do the one up by him.

00:02:56.769 --> 00:02:59.129
So I'm training with him for that one.

00:02:59.129 --> 00:03:01.289
And, and for me, their accountability.

00:03:01.399 --> 00:03:05.499
You know, once you pay for a race, once
you have it in your calendar, you, you

00:03:05.499 --> 00:03:09.059
can't just be like in the 11th hour,
decide like, Oh, I guess I should

00:03:09.059 --> 00:03:13.459
get ready for that, which is a good
way to think of like a lot of goals.

00:03:13.469 --> 00:03:17.629
Like if you want to try to like write
a book, you're not going to be like.

00:03:18.054 --> 00:03:21.434
Oh, I procrastinated until the 11th
hour and then I wrote the whole book.

00:03:21.434 --> 00:03:22.884
Like it just doesn't work like that.

00:03:22.884 --> 00:03:24.234
So it's good.

00:03:24.264 --> 00:03:28.114
You know, I could just do things like
there's the Spartan races and, you

00:03:28.114 --> 00:03:31.304
know, all those kinds of races and
things, but it'll be good to like,

00:03:31.334 --> 00:03:36.294
keep myself accountable, keep them
accountable and have it on the calendar.

00:03:36.774 --> 00:03:37.324
CJ: Nice.

00:03:37.364 --> 00:03:37.644
Yeah.

00:03:37.644 --> 00:03:42.394
I think the destination marathons are
the ones that are most interesting and

00:03:42.394 --> 00:03:46.614
attractive to me because it's like,
you've got, not only do you have like

00:03:46.614 --> 00:03:49.354
this big thing that you're planning for
and you're prepping for, and you have

00:03:49.354 --> 00:03:53.844
it on the horizon, but all of that, like
anticipation of like, Oh, it's going

00:03:53.844 --> 00:03:57.434
to be so cool to like fly there and be
there and be in like a different place

00:03:57.434 --> 00:04:02.484
and experience like Hawaii after like
all of this hard work and everything.

00:04:02.494 --> 00:04:03.764
So that seems.

00:04:03.939 --> 00:04:05.039
Like it would be awesome.

00:04:05.139 --> 00:04:08.729
On there's a instructor on Peloton
that I really like Matt Wilpers.

00:04:08.779 --> 00:04:13.739
And he often talks about like, you
know, plan out your year and make

00:04:13.739 --> 00:04:17.399
your trips like fitness related,
or like have some thing that you're

00:04:17.399 --> 00:04:19.179
going to do fitness wise on a trip.

00:04:19.629 --> 00:04:22.339
And then even if you're not like
going to do a race or something,

00:04:22.339 --> 00:04:27.089
you can still make it, you know,
interrelated with your vacationing.

00:04:27.099 --> 00:04:29.749
And then you kind of like build your
lifestyle around, like, you know,

00:04:29.769 --> 00:04:31.009
these healthy habits and things.

00:04:31.009 --> 00:04:31.609
And I don't know.

00:04:31.629 --> 00:04:35.019
It definitely, definitely
seems attractive.

00:04:35.399 --> 00:04:35.909
So

00:04:36.209 --> 00:04:38.879
Colin: I think when you go on trips, they
try to like, you know, depending on where

00:04:38.879 --> 00:04:42.639
you're going, there's all these like
excursion options and like side things.

00:04:42.639 --> 00:04:47.889
And, you know, honestly going on hikes,
even if they're like with guides or you

00:04:47.889 --> 00:04:51.699
know, doing some back country stuff, like
it's a great way to see those places.

00:04:51.979 --> 00:04:53.309
They tend to be less touristy.

00:04:53.339 --> 00:04:56.689
They tend to be not super
expensive to see, like kind of

00:04:56.699 --> 00:04:58.569
more of the local take of it.

00:04:58.609 --> 00:05:03.649
When we went on the offsite in Portugal
for orbit, it was funny because like,

00:05:03.874 --> 00:05:07.874
We were with this like outdoor adventure
team that was taking us on this thing.

00:05:07.874 --> 00:05:11.644
And like, it was very apparent that we
all sit at a desk and work inside all day.

00:05:13.904 --> 00:05:16.724
Like some people are super stoked
to be outside and doing things.

00:05:16.724 --> 00:05:18.534
And others were like are we there yet?

00:05:18.684 --> 00:05:19.264
We're done.

00:05:19.314 --> 00:05:19.534
We're

00:05:19.534 --> 00:05:20.714
ready to sit on the beach.

00:05:21.184 --> 00:05:22.234
So yeah.

00:05:22.594 --> 00:05:23.414
How about your update?

00:05:23.414 --> 00:05:24.514
How's things going for you?

00:05:24.964 --> 00:05:25.884
CJ: Things are going well.

00:05:25.884 --> 00:05:28.344
We've got our our accountability crew.

00:05:28.394 --> 00:05:30.804
We are in week seven of eight weeks.

00:05:30.814 --> 00:05:34.624
So we're doing like an eight week
session and we're trucking along.

00:05:34.634 --> 00:05:39.314
We keep posting updates of every
single meal and You know, our exercise

00:05:39.314 --> 00:05:40.274
routines and things like that.

00:05:40.274 --> 00:05:42.094
I think we've missed a
couple here and there.

00:05:42.094 --> 00:05:44.674
And you always just trying to catch
back up and get back on the train.

00:05:45.264 --> 00:05:48.254
So I am this past weekend.

00:05:48.254 --> 00:05:52.674
I waited in like two 16, which was
down from like two 50 in the summer.

00:05:52.694 --> 00:05:54.844
So making tons of progress.

00:05:54.954 --> 00:05:56.794
And it's all just like consistency.

00:05:56.794 --> 00:06:00.524
Like you've got to kind of just show up
and eat the right things every single day.

00:06:00.524 --> 00:06:08.634
And, I think that I've kind of found
a pretty high protein diet that is

00:06:08.644 --> 00:06:11.854
sustainable, like relatively sustainable,
which has been working really well

00:06:11.854 --> 00:06:15.044
for me, kind of just like it took
me a while of like looking at every

00:06:15.044 --> 00:06:19.714
single thing I was eating and trying
to figure out, you know, is this, or

00:06:19.724 --> 00:06:21.784
what is the protein content of this?

00:06:22.214 --> 00:06:22.954
What is the fat?

00:06:22.964 --> 00:06:27.604
Like, what are the macros of each meal or
each like part of the meal and is there

00:06:27.604 --> 00:06:31.164
something I can swap out or swap in for
something that's like a higher protein?

00:06:31.654 --> 00:06:35.864
And as a result, like yeah, I've kind
of like narrowed in on a few dishes

00:06:35.874 --> 00:06:37.954
that I never would have had before.

00:06:37.954 --> 00:06:40.844
Like one is I'll have like Greek yogurt.

00:06:41.174 --> 00:06:44.774
In the morning, I'll have Greek yogurt
with like scoops of protein powder, like

00:06:44.844 --> 00:06:50.294
plant based protein powder and flax seed
and I just stir it all up and it sounds

00:06:50.294 --> 00:06:55.404
gross, but it's so good and it's just like
become this, like, super high protein,

00:06:55.954 --> 00:07:00.714
like 30, it's like 35 grams of protein,
very little net carbs, very little other

00:07:00.714 --> 00:07:06.254
stuff in it and it's really filling and
so satiety is very high so doing that and

00:07:06.254 --> 00:07:13.174
then On the, like the exercise front doing
a power zone challenge with on the bike.

00:07:13.194 --> 00:07:17.194
So we have like two 45 minute rides
and then a long ride on the weekend.

00:07:17.194 --> 00:07:20.014
That's like between 60 and 120 minutes.

00:07:20.674 --> 00:07:26.874
And then five days a week I've been
doing like a barbell, like dumbbell type

00:07:26.874 --> 00:07:33.824
strength training, just like a really
low key, 30 minute a day, five day split.

00:07:33.934 --> 00:07:37.334
And, yeah, all of that seems to
be working really, really well and

00:07:37.434 --> 00:07:41.214
yeah, feeling pretty strong and
I'm really happy with the progress.

00:07:41.214 --> 00:07:42.464
So yeah,

00:07:42.494 --> 00:07:43.014
continue to

00:07:44.269 --> 00:07:46.429
Colin: I've been seeing
your, your updates on Strava.

00:07:46.439 --> 00:07:48.449
So I can see you're out there doing it.

00:07:48.784 --> 00:07:49.274
CJ: nice.

00:07:49.294 --> 00:07:49.804
Nice.

00:07:50.014 --> 00:07:54.614
Yeah, I, I, it's like automatically
hooked up to Peloton, which I love

00:07:54.624 --> 00:07:56.584
because it sends the rides along.

00:07:56.979 --> 00:07:59.739
And you know, like when you do
like a strength workout, but I also

00:07:59.739 --> 00:08:02.959
use Peloton a lot for meditation
and that like Postman's drama too.

00:08:02.959 --> 00:08:05.579
It's like, all right, CJ
couldn't sleep that night.

00:08:05.579 --> 00:08:09.849
Obviously he did, like three
meditations and like yeah.

00:08:10.124 --> 00:08:12.414
Colin: noticed, I mean, I've noticed
that they were on there, but I'm not, I

00:08:12.414 --> 00:08:16.294
haven't, didn't notice what times they
were posted, but, you know, it also shows

00:08:16.634 --> 00:08:20.024
the Strava TriHards that you're out
there stretching and out there taking

00:08:20.024 --> 00:08:21.744
walks and out there, you

00:08:21.744 --> 00:08:24.914
know, it's not always maximum
efforts, like, oh, I just did

00:08:24.914 --> 00:08:28.514
this super long bike ride or bike,
you know, run, things like that.

00:08:28.514 --> 00:08:28.864
So

00:08:29.294 --> 00:08:31.304
it's another tool, another
accountability thing.

00:08:31.404 --> 00:08:32.134
Which can help.

00:08:32.134 --> 00:08:36.164
So, and I think like, you know,
we're, we're, we're talking about

00:08:36.164 --> 00:08:39.424
this fitness stuff to kind of also
hold each other accountable too.

00:08:39.814 --> 00:08:45.804
And like diet, nutrition
fitness is all super individual.

00:08:45.804 --> 00:08:49.730
So I'm glad that you found some things
that you like that work for you.

00:08:49.730 --> 00:08:52.387
It's not going to work for
everyone who's listening.

00:08:52.387 --> 00:08:54.159
It's, we're not a fitness podcast,

00:08:54.159 --> 00:08:54.454
but.

00:08:54.844 --> 00:08:56.344
We pretend to be one on TV.

00:08:57.024 --> 00:08:57.294
CJ: Yeah.

00:08:57.294 --> 00:09:02.154
And I think what's what does
maybe resonate more with listeners

00:09:02.164 --> 00:09:05.304
is that it wasn't like clear.

00:09:06.034 --> 00:09:08.714
The answer wasn't clear for
what to try or what to do.

00:09:08.744 --> 00:09:12.734
It was all very much like experimentation
and learning and watching videos and

00:09:13.034 --> 00:09:16.304
trying to figure out which fitness
influencers I believe and trust and

00:09:16.304 --> 00:09:19.834
you know, like reading these books
about you know, And you know, white

00:09:19.834 --> 00:09:24.194
papers about different, like new
research that's coming out about muscle

00:09:24.194 --> 00:09:29.504
protein synthesis and creatine and
you know, should you take TRT or not?

00:09:29.504 --> 00:09:32.434
And like all these different
things, you know, like so yeah,

00:09:32.574 --> 00:09:33.814
Colin: There's a lot of that right now.

00:09:33.864 --> 00:09:34.534
A lot.

00:09:34.704 --> 00:09:35.284
CJ: tons.

00:09:35.314 --> 00:09:36.034
There's tons.

00:09:36.034 --> 00:09:37.014
Yeah, totally.

00:09:37.454 --> 00:09:41.304
So yeah, one that's definitely on my
list to research too, is like, what

00:09:41.304 --> 00:09:46.334
are the impacts of Ozempic and all of
these like GLP one or whatever drugs

00:09:46.344 --> 00:09:50.224
that are supposed to be like You know,
you get a shot and then you magically

00:09:50.224 --> 00:09:54.794
lose a bunch of weight and yeah, just
trying to see how, how that's affecting

00:09:54.794 --> 00:09:59.674
people's like stomach longterm,
you know, is it is it, you know,

00:09:59.674 --> 00:10:01.304
damaging their digestion or whatever.

00:10:01.304 --> 00:10:04.054
So yeah, lots of stuff
to research and learn.

00:10:04.054 --> 00:10:07.674
And yeah, it's kind of like
building your own health or

00:10:07.674 --> 00:10:09.674
something, but yeah, fun stuff.

00:10:10.144 --> 00:10:10.534
Colin: Yeah.

00:10:11.334 --> 00:10:15.084
Well, this is kind of around the
consistency and like what we do every

00:10:15.084 --> 00:10:19.854
day kind of like defines what, where
we spend our time and our identity.

00:10:19.854 --> 00:10:25.074
And this thing that keeps coming up in
the podcasts I listen to and some videos

00:10:25.074 --> 00:10:28.994
I've been watching has been this like
concepts that I'd be curious to get your

00:10:29.004 --> 00:10:34.384
take on of if you're busy creating things.

00:10:35.069 --> 00:10:40.999
You should spend less time consuming
things or vice versa, like in a way it

00:10:40.999 --> 00:10:45.799
almost I think now that I said it out loud
like casts like consuming as bad and like

00:10:45.799 --> 00:10:50.189
when you hear like mindless consumption
or like doom scrolling and Instagram

00:10:50.189 --> 00:10:53.539
and tick tock like they want your time
and attention, which means that you're

00:10:53.549 --> 00:10:59.379
probably not going out and making your own
things, whether it's content or code or.

00:10:59.869 --> 00:11:01.799
Working out or whatever it is, right?

00:11:01.799 --> 00:11:03.349
It's, it's time and attention.

00:11:03.999 --> 00:11:07.559
I'd be curious, like, what do you
think about that in terms of like,

00:11:07.939 --> 00:11:11.909
do the things that you consume
help you to be a better creator?

00:11:12.329 --> 00:11:16.649
Are they kind of like the yin and yang of
like, you know, inspiration and creation

00:11:16.659 --> 00:11:21.429
or, or like, Oh, too busy, too busy
creating things in a little vacuum over

00:11:21.429 --> 00:11:23.089
here that you know, it can't be bothered.

00:11:25.209 --> 00:11:31.059
CJ: I, I need to think a lot more about
this, but I, my gut reaction is that

00:11:31.149 --> 00:11:38.599
you have to consume a little to build
like taste and it's important to see

00:11:38.729 --> 00:11:42.489
like what other people are doing to
consider whether or not that's something

00:11:42.489 --> 00:11:44.269
you want to incorporate into your own.

00:11:44.374 --> 00:11:51.714
I don't think mindlessly scrolling is
good or beneficial for like, for creation.

00:11:52.194 --> 00:11:55.814
I think if you go into it and you open
up TikTok and you look at it and you

00:11:55.814 --> 00:11:59.414
say to yourself, I'm going to look
at these TikToks because I want to

00:11:59.414 --> 00:12:02.114
see what they're doing to go viral.

00:12:02.734 --> 00:12:07.024
That is like a very different intention
when you open the app than like, I'm

00:12:07.024 --> 00:12:11.554
bored or I'm tired or I'm anxious
or I'm like, you know, like other

00:12:11.554 --> 00:12:16.054
reasons why you might like reach for a
dopamine hit through through tick talk.

00:12:16.084 --> 00:12:19.474
And like it, those things are
not good for you for sure.

00:12:19.484 --> 00:12:19.734
Right.

00:12:19.734 --> 00:12:21.794
Like the just mindless scrolling.

00:12:21.944 --> 00:12:26.484
But I think, yeah, if you can, if you're
consuming intentionally to become a better

00:12:26.484 --> 00:12:31.119
creator, then I could see that, that
would be totally positive and, and there's

00:12:31.129 --> 00:12:32.849
like absolutely a good way to do it.

00:12:33.479 --> 00:12:37.589
That said, I don't think anyone, or
like, I would say most people are not

00:12:37.679 --> 00:12:43.849
mindfully consuming TikTok, Instagram,
YouTube Shorts, or any of the,

00:12:43.989 --> 00:12:46.359
like, algorithmic feeds of anything.

00:12:46.839 --> 00:12:52.959
And yeah, personally, I have definitely
fallen into a really unhealthy pattern

00:12:52.999 --> 00:12:57.659
of consuming mindlessly at night and
like all the algorithms just want

00:12:57.659 --> 00:13:03.114
to show me like political shit now,
and I'm like I'm very, very over it.

00:13:03.124 --> 00:13:09.054
Like I don't want to hear about political
news and I just get sucked into it like

00:13:09.104 --> 00:13:13.254
on a daily basis where every time I open
up any of the, these apps, it's just

00:13:13.254 --> 00:13:18.444
showing me like all of this junk like
political propaganda stuff basically.

00:13:18.914 --> 00:13:20.929
And so it's definitely not good.

00:13:20.929 --> 00:13:22.074
And I'm also like.

00:13:22.754 --> 00:13:27.184
Trying to be better about when I
open any of the social media apps.

00:13:27.184 --> 00:13:30.274
Like, what do I want to learn or
what do I, like, how do I want to

00:13:30.274 --> 00:13:32.244
like grow from this experience?

00:13:32.644 --> 00:13:35.964
And so yeah, I'm trying to be a little
bit better about it, but yeah, just

00:13:36.594 --> 00:13:43.059
throwing yourself off of the cliff
into the algorithm is is definitely

00:13:43.119 --> 00:13:44.979
not, not the right way to go for sure.

00:13:45.039 --> 00:13:48.649
Colin: Yeah, and I think like with most
things, I mean, you can use them as

00:13:48.649 --> 00:13:52.569
entertainment, like we don't need to open
them every time with like, I must get

00:13:52.569 --> 00:13:57.749
something out of it, like that's useful
in my work or whatever, but tends to be

00:13:57.749 --> 00:14:03.644
that like, if you mindfully say I'm going
to watch a show or like, I think A lot of

00:14:03.654 --> 00:14:08.254
people are moving to watching things on
YouTube that and like it used to be that

00:14:08.334 --> 00:14:12.404
YouTube videos were super long and they
became shorter and shorter and shorter.

00:14:12.404 --> 00:14:17.214
And now some creators that I follow
are like creating series of like

00:14:17.254 --> 00:14:21.664
pretty like 30, 40 minute, you know,
adventure videos and things like that.

00:14:22.264 --> 00:14:24.434
And I watch those like I would watch.

00:14:24.664 --> 00:14:28.274
Like a tv show and I'll watch one
and then walk away from it and not

00:14:28.274 --> 00:14:32.604
necessarily Get pulled into the
the algorithm or the next video.

00:14:32.604 --> 00:14:38.334
I think watching YouTube on like a tv
you don't have that sidebar as much

00:14:38.364 --> 00:14:43.184
of like next videos It still kind of
happens, but it's it's not I don't think

00:14:43.184 --> 00:14:46.784
they spend as much time on that Like how
do we get you to click on the next one

00:14:46.784 --> 00:14:48.574
as much as they've done it on the web?

00:14:49.204 --> 00:14:52.819
Or probably even But yeah, I hear you.

00:14:52.869 --> 00:14:55.509
I mean, it's really easy to fall into.

00:14:55.509 --> 00:14:59.579
I think the whole Senate hearing thing
that happened recently, some, a lot of

00:14:59.579 --> 00:15:01.939
that was like kangaroo court around.

00:15:02.539 --> 00:15:06.359
They already had soundbites that they
wanted to, you know, tell tick tock

00:15:06.359 --> 00:15:11.539
and meta and all these, but there is
a lot of truth in the fact that they.

00:15:11.919 --> 00:15:13.589
want you to use it more.

00:15:13.969 --> 00:15:18.089
And so their, their motivations are
not always aligned with like what

00:15:18.089 --> 00:15:22.409
our goals are for what we use those
apps for, or like what's the job

00:15:22.409 --> 00:15:24.009
to be done with Instagram, right?

00:15:24.029 --> 00:15:29.659
It's a lot of it is ads now, which are
very, very good and very targeted ads.

00:15:29.689 --> 00:15:35.454
But I've been wondering myself, like,
how would I feel Less of an urge to

00:15:35.454 --> 00:15:37.784
buy things if I wasn't on social.

00:15:38.294 --> 00:15:43.674
And now I like witness the, like, Oh,
this thing's easy to buy right now.

00:15:43.954 --> 00:15:47.404
If I want it, I'll write it
down and see if I still want it.

00:15:48.094 --> 00:15:51.434
And usually if it comes from
the internet, it's probably

00:15:51.434 --> 00:15:52.874
not, not something that I need.

00:15:53.424 --> 00:15:56.344
Yeah, so that's, that's a good one.

00:15:56.354 --> 00:15:58.514
I think something for everyone
to think about at home, just.

00:15:58.579 --> 00:16:00.739
How much are you consuming?

00:16:00.919 --> 00:16:02.949
Do you want to be creating more?

00:16:03.239 --> 00:16:04.869
It doesn't have to be a public thing.

00:16:04.879 --> 00:16:06.829
It might even be a thing for yourself.

00:16:07.299 --> 00:16:09.199
Just kind of time, time and attention.

00:16:10.029 --> 00:16:10.429
CJ: Yeah.

00:16:10.459 --> 00:16:16.479
We've been, it's, it's, it's interesting
too, when we try to help our kids

00:16:16.479 --> 00:16:21.259
learn how to be like thoughtful
consumers and productive creators.

00:16:21.589 --> 00:16:27.459
Not like you don't, YouTube famous
or anything, but like trying to

00:16:27.509 --> 00:16:29.669
help them understand that playing.

00:16:30.169 --> 00:16:34.069
Or like, yeah, consuming social media
right now for them at their age,

00:16:34.179 --> 00:16:38.959
completely off limits, but there's also
like a difference for them between playing

00:16:38.959 --> 00:16:46.639
certain games and watching, you know,
documentaries and, and then like creating.

00:16:46.649 --> 00:16:49.079
And so we've tried to like
carve up screen time into these.

00:16:49.424 --> 00:16:56.134
Different sort of scopes, maybe where if
they are spending time on the computer to

00:16:56.144 --> 00:17:01.764
make a podcast or a video or a stop motion
animation or to write a story or to draw

00:17:01.804 --> 00:17:04.384
or something like that, we feel much more
comfortable with being like, yeah, sure.

00:17:04.384 --> 00:17:08.424
Like go be creative, use the
tools, go 3D print stuff, go

00:17:08.424 --> 00:17:09.494
print things out, whatever.

00:17:10.064 --> 00:17:12.914
But if you want to just go on the
computer and scroll through YouTube

00:17:13.234 --> 00:17:14.964
and watch people play video games.

00:17:15.129 --> 00:17:19.579
That in our opinion is like way
less healthy than like, even

00:17:19.589 --> 00:17:21.789
if they were to just go and
play the video game themselves.

00:17:21.819 --> 00:17:22.089
Right.

00:17:22.089 --> 00:17:26.709
Like they're at least like a little bit
more engaged, but yeah, both like the

00:17:26.759 --> 00:17:28.649
yeah, just kind of garbage entertainment.

00:17:28.649 --> 00:17:32.789
That's trying to get them to buy
stuff versus a little bit more

00:17:32.939 --> 00:17:36.029
thoughtful, like, okay, let's watch a
documentary about space or something

00:17:36.169 --> 00:17:42.169
that we as parents have somehow
deemed more valuable for their future.

00:17:42.269 --> 00:17:43.129
But yeah, I don't know.

00:17:43.129 --> 00:17:44.959
It's it's an interesting balance for sure.

00:17:45.159 --> 00:17:45.529
So,

00:17:46.189 --> 00:17:46.519
Colin: Yeah.

00:17:47.029 --> 00:17:51.649
Well, speaking of building things, what
have you been working on building lately?

00:17:52.099 --> 00:17:52.959
CJ: Oh my gosh.

00:17:53.179 --> 00:17:57.199
So at work, we are we're building
out a bunch of tools for calculating

00:17:57.209 --> 00:17:59.189
gross margin on projects.

00:17:59.599 --> 00:18:04.769
Lots of different calculators and
estimators and caching data in certain

00:18:04.769 --> 00:18:06.744
places so that things render quickly.

00:18:08.344 --> 00:18:11.764
Also continuing to work on our
messaging release for Twilio,

00:18:11.894 --> 00:18:13.504
which is coming along pretty well.

00:18:14.944 --> 00:18:19.964
And so we've been experimenting with
like recording calls and routing calls

00:18:19.964 --> 00:18:21.424
and building all that kind of stuff.

00:18:21.474 --> 00:18:26.684
And then yeah, on the side, continuing
to hack on buckets here and there.

00:18:28.134 --> 00:18:28.784
So buckets.

00:18:28.804 --> 00:18:30.374
cjav.

00:18:30.374 --> 00:18:35.514
dev, if folks are interested, it's going
to be a little personal finance app.

00:18:35.774 --> 00:18:41.404
And yeah, like we, you and I chatted about
this in all the different data providers.

00:18:41.424 --> 00:18:45.004
And it's funny watching Josh
Pigford on Twitter, like just

00:18:45.004 --> 00:18:48.854
raging about how the data providers
for all this financial data.

00:18:49.419 --> 00:18:53.479
There's like not one good one that will
give you all the connections to all the

00:18:53.479 --> 00:18:57.619
banks and mortgage companies and you
know, brokerage accounts and bank accounts

00:18:57.619 --> 00:18:58.809
and credit cards and all these things.

00:18:58.829 --> 00:19:03.509
And so went through the whole cycle
of trying to integrate lots of

00:19:03.509 --> 00:19:08.299
different ones and then came full
circle back to, back to Stripe.

00:19:08.299 --> 00:19:10.549
And it's still like,
none of them are perfect.

00:19:10.729 --> 00:19:12.699
But it's been, it's been fun to hack on.

00:19:12.859 --> 00:19:13.149
So.

00:19:14.329 --> 00:19:15.249
Colin: Yeah, I've got it.

00:19:15.519 --> 00:19:19.509
Running on my machine too and I've
been playing around with figuring out

00:19:19.509 --> 00:19:23.799
where I can be useful and what we can
add to it and I think it's funny that,

00:19:23.879 --> 00:19:26.109
you know, as you've been tweeting
about it, so many people are like,

00:19:26.589 --> 00:19:29.089
just use maybe just use Josh's thing.

00:19:29.109 --> 00:19:32.259
It's like, well, we have our own
little thing going on over here.

00:19:32.674 --> 00:19:33.174
CJ: Yeah.

00:19:33.264 --> 00:19:33.654
Yeah.

00:19:34.394 --> 00:19:34.624
Yeah.

00:19:34.624 --> 00:19:41.244
It's partly, I mean, it's fun to scratch
your own itch and it's also fun to have

00:19:41.244 --> 00:19:45.244
full control over it, you know, instead
of it being like this open source thing

00:19:45.244 --> 00:19:51.144
where I definitely feel like Josh is going
after like a global solution that has

00:19:51.754 --> 00:19:54.354
recently he's been talking a lot about
like currency conversion and all these

00:19:54.354 --> 00:19:58.824
different features that will support a
global solution, which I think is awesome.

00:19:58.894 --> 00:20:05.219
It's a great use case for, Open source and
all these things to scratch our own itch.

00:20:05.459 --> 00:20:10.329
Like, I don't, I don't know about you, but
I only have US dollars , so like currency

00:20:10.329 --> 00:20:14.369
conversion feature that can wait for
you know, scale or something like that.

00:20:14.399 --> 00:20:15.089
So it's like,

00:20:15.824 --> 00:20:18.404
Colin: Well, and some people have
been poking him on that about

00:20:18.404 --> 00:20:23.824
like, should you not make a fully
complete system for USD first

00:20:24.214 --> 00:20:26.044
before you start going wide?

00:20:26.054 --> 00:20:30.424
And I, I actually think like
following the journey of lunch

00:20:30.454 --> 00:20:35.704
money which is a budgeting tool,
like they were digital nomads.

00:20:36.184 --> 00:20:37.504
Jen from from lunch money.

00:20:37.504 --> 00:20:42.034
It's built by one person and she was
moving around the world being digital meds

00:20:42.064 --> 00:20:44.414
and it needed to be multi currency first.

00:20:44.624 --> 00:20:44.954
Like it's

00:20:44.954 --> 00:20:49.054
really hard to go back in and be
like, let's tack on multi currency.

00:20:49.064 --> 00:20:50.644
Like it doesn't work well.

00:20:50.654 --> 00:20:54.754
So I think they're probably
right in starting it first.

00:20:55.194 --> 00:20:57.974
But there was a lot of really
interesting conversations around.

00:20:58.384 --> 00:20:59.999
I don't want you to convert it.

00:21:00.239 --> 00:21:03.439
the other currencies into my
money, I want you to keep them

00:21:03.439 --> 00:21:06.889
in the currency that they're in
because they're in that currency.

00:21:06.959 --> 00:21:10.899
And you lose little tiny
amounts of rounding errors and

00:21:10.899 --> 00:21:12.409
things when you do conversions.

00:21:12.409 --> 00:21:17.239
And if it's sitting in another account
in France, you know, in another currency,

00:21:17.239 --> 00:21:20.639
like keep it in that currency and just
keep the balances going in that currency.

00:21:21.189 --> 00:21:25.339
And sure, you could do like a total
net worth in USD or whatever you want.

00:21:25.689 --> 00:21:29.049
With my like a lot of my interest in
personal finance, it's so interesting

00:21:29.069 --> 00:21:33.719
to think about like how easy and
like for us it is to just think in U.

00:21:33.719 --> 00:21:33.889
S.

00:21:33.889 --> 00:21:34.299
Dollars.

00:21:34.299 --> 00:21:37.699
But like most people in other
countries have to be thinking

00:21:37.699 --> 00:21:40.359
multilingual, multi currency, right?

00:21:40.379 --> 00:21:43.679
They have a lot of them
have investments in U.

00:21:43.679 --> 00:21:43.849
S.

00:21:43.849 --> 00:21:44.509
Dollars in the U.

00:21:44.509 --> 00:21:44.609
S.

00:21:44.619 --> 00:21:48.459
Stock Exchange as well as
their home countries or others

00:21:48.929 --> 00:21:50.359
a little bit more diversified.

00:21:50.389 --> 00:21:52.769
So it's a wild world.

00:21:53.259 --> 00:21:53.839
CJ: Totally.

00:21:54.569 --> 00:22:00.409
Yeah, I think yeah, maybe to paint a
picture to like the initial idea was I,

00:22:01.309 --> 00:22:05.099
I mean, we both used mint for a long time
to just like track balances and stuff.

00:22:05.139 --> 00:22:09.549
And we both use a different
app for budgeting.

00:22:09.549 --> 00:22:12.199
So I use YNAB and you
you're using co pilot.

00:22:12.824 --> 00:22:15.934
Shout out if they want to give
us a affiliate link or something.

00:22:16.544 --> 00:22:18.754
Or yeah, we'll share, we'll
share links to affiliate things.

00:22:18.754 --> 00:22:19.854
I'm sure we'll find them.

00:22:20.294 --> 00:22:23.824
So you can, you can try those out
based on the show notes, but those

00:22:23.824 --> 00:22:25.104
are, those are great budgeting apps.

00:22:25.124 --> 00:22:28.724
I don't think what like we're trying to
build as a budgeting app by any means.

00:22:28.724 --> 00:22:34.584
It's like, how can we look at our
entire like financial wellbeing and

00:22:34.634 --> 00:22:39.154
make suggestions or adjustments or
plans based on kind of where we're at.

00:22:39.324 --> 00:22:40.064
as a whole.

00:22:40.574 --> 00:22:44.574
And so, yeah, the idea of buckets is
like you can put your, you can kind of

00:22:44.574 --> 00:22:47.474
like assign the money that's in different
accounts into these buckets that you

00:22:47.474 --> 00:22:49.094
can track the balance of over time.

00:22:49.094 --> 00:22:52.814
So maybe you have an emergency
fund and you have some goal

00:22:52.814 --> 00:22:53.834
for that emergency fund.

00:22:53.834 --> 00:22:56.704
So you can associate one of your
accounts with an emergency fund and

00:22:56.714 --> 00:22:59.874
then see that in the dashboard as
like your emergency fund bucket.

00:23:00.264 --> 00:23:03.404
Or maybe you have one that's like
retirement and you have in your

00:23:03.404 --> 00:23:07.124
mind some number that you need for
retirement that you want to retire

00:23:07.124 --> 00:23:08.434
early or whatever, like you can.

00:23:08.634 --> 00:23:13.624
have your retirement accounts
roll up to and aggregate some

00:23:13.674 --> 00:23:15.534
balance over time for retirement.

00:23:16.024 --> 00:23:18.074
Same thing with real estate.

00:23:18.074 --> 00:23:21.874
And then all of that, obviously rolling
up into some net worth calculation.

00:23:22.484 --> 00:23:26.914
One component of that is when you're
tracking real estate assets over time,

00:23:26.924 --> 00:23:28.534
you want to try to get like, what is the.

00:23:28.694 --> 00:23:29.774
Estimated value.

00:23:29.774 --> 00:23:34.984
If you were to like sell this house
today and Zillow has like a really

00:23:35.224 --> 00:23:39.904
legit data science team with pretty
good estimates called Zestimates.

00:23:39.904 --> 00:23:43.764
It's like their little internal
estimation thing or whatever.

00:23:44.244 --> 00:23:44.554
Yeah.

00:23:44.554 --> 00:23:45.084
Zesty.

00:23:45.154 --> 00:23:50.584
So Submitted we submitted some paperwork
to try to like get access to their API.

00:23:50.614 --> 00:23:53.364
I have not heard back after
the first kind of like back and

00:23:53.364 --> 00:23:54.494
forth with their support team.

00:23:54.494 --> 00:23:57.384
So if any, if we know anyone
that works at Zillow, like

00:23:57.414 --> 00:23:57.654
let

00:23:57.694 --> 00:24:00.864
Colin: to say, we might need to
like flex our DevRel muscle here.

00:24:00.894 --> 00:24:01.384
CJ: yeah,

00:24:01.714 --> 00:24:04.474
Colin: Who's the Zillow DevRel?

00:24:04.624 --> 00:24:07.054
CJ: videos and some shared content here.

00:24:07.564 --> 00:24:07.814
Colin: Just,

00:24:08.619 --> 00:24:10.539
CJ: But yeah, the rent cast.

00:24:10.549 --> 00:24:11.969
So rent cast is another API.

00:24:12.259 --> 00:24:16.229
We I think it was just bought by
RealtyMole or RealtyMole bought

00:24:16.239 --> 00:24:17.349
rent cast or something like that.

00:24:17.859 --> 00:24:23.429
And we are using rent cast or we're
using the RealtyMole API at Craftwork.

00:24:23.959 --> 00:24:26.519
And so I was like, Oh, like
we can use that for now.

00:24:26.539 --> 00:24:30.119
And then I put in my own, like
a couple of my own addresses and

00:24:30.119 --> 00:24:33.649
the property estimates were just
like way off, like twice as much

00:24:33.649 --> 00:24:35.069
as I think they're probably worth.

00:24:35.119 --> 00:24:38.499
And so we'll have to figure that
out, but yeah, you don't want your

00:24:38.669 --> 00:24:39.929
Colin: multiply them all by two.

00:24:40.299 --> 00:24:41.039
CJ: Yeah, exactly.

00:24:41.049 --> 00:24:42.019
Just, just double it.

00:24:42.019 --> 00:24:43.519
Just whatever, you know, like,

00:24:44.259 --> 00:24:44.639
Colin: Yeah.

00:24:44.679 --> 00:24:46.659
I think we've been, we've
been thinking too small here.

00:24:46.659 --> 00:24:49.059
I think we should just get
Zillow to sponsor the podcast.

00:24:49.089 --> 00:24:49.309
I think

00:24:49.539 --> 00:24:50.349
CJ: great idea.

00:24:50.869 --> 00:24:51.549
There you go.

00:24:51.589 --> 00:24:52.179
There you go.

00:24:52.969 --> 00:24:55.229
Colin: house Zillow.

00:24:56.209 --> 00:24:57.609
CJ: Didn't they do something like that?

00:24:57.659 --> 00:24:58.669
Or was that a different company?

00:24:58.679 --> 00:24:59.419
Redfin maybe?

00:24:59.419 --> 00:25:01.439
Or there was like some
real estate property.

00:25:01.469 --> 00:25:02.169
It was Zillow.

00:25:02.549 --> 00:25:03.219
Colin: I don't know.

00:25:03.269 --> 00:25:06.049
I'm, I'm a Redfin fan myself.

00:25:06.099 --> 00:25:06.249
I

00:25:06.249 --> 00:25:06.939
do like that.

00:25:07.219 --> 00:25:08.569
I don't know why their app is just.

00:25:09.394 --> 00:25:12.734
Less cartoony feeling to me than
Zillow, so I'm not sure why, I

00:25:12.734 --> 00:25:17.764
don't know if it's the colors or
what, but yeah, Redfin, Zillow,

00:25:17.764 --> 00:25:19.534
give us access to your APIs, please.

00:25:19.889 --> 00:25:20.269
CJ: Yeah.

00:25:20.739 --> 00:25:23.019
I feel like there was a company,
like one of those companies went

00:25:23.019 --> 00:25:27.059
out and bought a bunch of properties
and then they couldn't unload them.

00:25:27.109 --> 00:25:27.439
like

00:25:27.599 --> 00:25:28.889
the, and they were like stuck with a

00:25:28.969 --> 00:25:30.159
Colin: They both did that.

00:25:30.159 --> 00:25:35.289
They both became like the I buyer type
thing where they were the very thing that

00:25:35.659 --> 00:25:37.429
they realized that like the hell is data.

00:25:37.429 --> 00:25:40.369
So we could arbitrage and buy
houses and then sell them.

00:25:40.689 --> 00:25:43.079
You can still list your house with Redfin.

00:25:43.089 --> 00:25:46.159
So it like, it's like using.

00:25:47.239 --> 00:25:52.529
But Redfin is your agent and they get like
a special marking on the UI that's like

00:25:52.529 --> 00:25:57.339
listed by Redfin and they probably have
like lower fees or something like that.

00:25:57.699 --> 00:26:04.149
Man, but like in 2007 I worked on
building out and this is before a

00:26:04.149 --> 00:26:06.869
lot of these APIs existed on this.

00:26:06.939 --> 00:26:09.059
There was this idea to build a website.

00:26:09.354 --> 00:26:13.044
You could sell your house to like,
if you needed to move tomorrow, you

00:26:13.044 --> 00:26:17.014
could just get like kind of what
you've done with craftwork, like

00:26:17.024 --> 00:26:20.674
get inspections and get all these
different things done in one place.

00:26:21.184 --> 00:26:24.994
And there's so many steps when you
buy and sell a house from inspections

00:26:24.994 --> 00:26:27.664
and escrow and all that kind of stuff.

00:26:27.704 --> 00:26:29.954
And unfortunately, this was like before.

00:26:30.499 --> 00:26:34.349
Any of these things, Zillow, Redfin,
and it was just too far ahead of its

00:26:34.349 --> 00:26:37.319
time because we were trying to figure
out, like, how do we send a text message

00:26:37.319 --> 00:26:41.789
to these people who only take text
messages and phone calls and fax machines

00:26:41.789 --> 00:26:48.039
and like, just automate it via paper,
but with texts and facts and stuff

00:26:48.039 --> 00:26:51.979
like that, and you know, and that's
very much what Redfin and Zillow did.

00:26:51.979 --> 00:26:54.829
And then they, like you said, they
found it really hard to actually,

00:26:55.059 --> 00:26:58.549
they were stuck with a lot of
inventory and couldn't actually make.

00:26:58.949 --> 00:27:03.149
Money on those houses, even though
houses have gone up in crazy value.

00:27:03.149 --> 00:27:08.469
So yeah, it turns out pure technology
is, has more margins there.

00:27:09.124 --> 00:27:09.564
CJ: Yeah.

00:27:09.624 --> 00:27:10.234
Interesting.

00:27:10.424 --> 00:27:10.954
Interesting.

00:27:11.094 --> 00:27:17.654
So yeah, maybe the someone needs
to make a bad ass course about

00:27:17.674 --> 00:27:19.574
how to buy and sell houses.

00:27:20.164 --> 00:27:23.454
Speaking of bad ass courses,
you see that transition,

00:27:23.909 --> 00:27:25.379
Colin: all the segues today.

00:27:26.624 --> 00:27:27.934
CJ: your segues were on point.

00:27:27.934 --> 00:27:30.074
I had to make like a,
just as the cheesiest one.

00:27:32.034 --> 00:27:34.332
Colin: Yeah, so I've, I've been
binging a lot of course creation,

00:27:34.332 --> 00:27:38.734
dev rel, docs type content.

00:27:38.764 --> 00:27:43.514
So back that maybe that was where the
consuming versus creating kind of came in.

00:27:44.094 --> 00:27:47.494
I'm sure it was mentioned multiple
times, but one that stuck out to

00:27:47.494 --> 00:27:52.604
me was badass courses with Joel
hooks really good podcast for

00:27:52.604 --> 00:27:54.794
course creators and course builders.

00:27:54.794 --> 00:27:59.684
And I actually think the podcast is
called course builders with Greg rogue

00:27:59.774 --> 00:28:03.284
it's, I think it's their first episode,
raising the bar for online learning.

00:28:03.334 --> 00:28:06.594
And what I really liked about
the episode was they both are

00:28:06.594 --> 00:28:08.384
video course creators and.

00:28:08.714 --> 00:28:10.754
platform creators as well.

00:28:10.764 --> 00:28:16.024
Like they both, both Joel and Greg
run their own course platforms.

00:28:16.044 --> 00:28:19.864
Greg actually runs two two different
ones, two different code bases.

00:28:19.894 --> 00:28:25.054
And the really big question that
they posed at the top of it was how

00:28:25.154 --> 00:28:28.934
do you actually approach sitting
down to learn a new complex topic?

00:28:28.934 --> 00:28:31.894
So they both are video course creators.

00:28:32.354 --> 00:28:36.364
And I think their answer was kind
of interesting that both of them

00:28:36.364 --> 00:28:38.384
are actually, they learn by reading.

00:28:38.914 --> 00:28:43.664
And so their, their, their own
favorite method of learning

00:28:43.664 --> 00:28:45.704
is a little bit different than
the stuff that they put out.

00:28:46.094 --> 00:28:49.344
So yeah, I'd be curious just
to hear what your approach is

00:28:49.344 --> 00:28:50.964
to sitting down to a new thing.

00:28:51.399 --> 00:28:56.259
CJ: I'm jealous because I, I wish that
reading was my like priority version

00:28:56.259 --> 00:28:58.599
of learning, but usually it's video.

00:28:59.019 --> 00:29:03.929
And so it like, that basically means
that like the videos that I make are just

00:29:04.279 --> 00:29:08.699
like lower quality versions of the other
videos I've seen online or something, you

00:29:08.699 --> 00:29:10.979
know, like a collection of other videos.

00:29:11.329 --> 00:29:15.099
Yeah, no, I think like, first
of all, learning by learning

00:29:15.099 --> 00:29:16.259
a topic by reading is.

00:29:16.839 --> 00:29:23.219
Obviously going to be very, very important
for any career because most content will

00:29:23.219 --> 00:29:25.309
be available as written word, right?

00:29:25.309 --> 00:29:29.549
Like if there's documentation about an
API, it will be written documentation.

00:29:29.559 --> 00:29:34.419
There's probably 2 percent or less
of information available about how to

00:29:34.419 --> 00:29:36.089
use an API is going to be available.

00:29:37.259 --> 00:29:42.789
And so when, yeah, like learning a complex
topic I guess like most of my experience

00:29:42.789 --> 00:29:44.329
in this case comes through Stripe.

00:29:44.779 --> 00:29:45.879
A lot of it would be.

00:29:46.654 --> 00:29:51.104
Read through the docs with a super
fine toothed comb because Docs writers

00:29:51.114 --> 00:29:53.284
often try to be as concise as possible.

00:29:53.334 --> 00:29:58.514
And so there might be one sentence on
a giant docs page that has the answer

00:29:58.514 --> 00:29:59.764
for something that you're looking for.

00:30:00.304 --> 00:30:02.674
So yeah, just trying to be like
really, really thorough when

00:30:02.674 --> 00:30:03.694
you're reading through things.

00:30:03.724 --> 00:30:07.074
And then second is like trying stuff out.

00:30:07.104 --> 00:30:11.244
So just getting really quick at
trying quick starts, following

00:30:11.264 --> 00:30:12.844
instructions and tutorials.

00:30:13.214 --> 00:30:14.784
And then also like.

00:30:15.104 --> 00:30:18.594
Yeah, I think I, I guess like
recently too, I've been kind of like

00:30:18.654 --> 00:30:22.054
leaning a lot on chat GBT where I'll
say like, okay, here's the pieces

00:30:22.064 --> 00:30:26.004
that I think I understand what,
where, where are my blind spots?

00:30:26.054 --> 00:30:27.454
And then how would you do this?

00:30:27.884 --> 00:30:30.094
And then give me some alternatives
to how you would do it.

00:30:30.644 --> 00:30:34.664
And then trying to like think through the
implications of those has kind of been a,

00:30:34.674 --> 00:30:36.944
a little bit of a new approach, but yeah.

00:30:37.724 --> 00:30:38.314
What about you?

00:30:38.324 --> 00:30:40.244
How are you approaching
these kinds of things?

00:30:40.264 --> 00:30:40.744
huh.

00:30:41.034 --> 00:30:44.604
Colin: Yeah, I think, they brought up
that it really depends on the thing that

00:30:44.604 --> 00:30:46.324
you're learning, which I would agree with.

00:30:46.984 --> 00:30:51.614
And part of that would be, like you
said, what's available to learn with.

00:30:52.084 --> 00:30:54.974
ChatsDBT is definitely a new part for me.

00:30:55.194 --> 00:30:59.534
Not just telling it what I know or
having it explain it, but I'll sometimes

00:30:59.534 --> 00:31:04.564
take, like, if it's extremely technical,
I'll copy technical documentation

00:31:05.294 --> 00:31:06.884
and say, Okay, explain this.

00:31:07.269 --> 00:31:08.059
in a different way.

00:31:08.079 --> 00:31:11.689
Like I'll say, explain it like I'm 10
which is always funny when you, if you

00:31:11.729 --> 00:31:16.819
do the explain it like you're five, they
like comes up with like very kid focused

00:31:16.819 --> 00:31:18.759
like metaphors and analogies and things.

00:31:18.799 --> 00:31:21.429
But you know, that can
help to break it down.

00:31:21.779 --> 00:31:25.819
Tragedy is also really good at
summarizing things and like, say

00:31:25.819 --> 00:31:27.569
like, give me steps or bullet points.

00:31:28.069 --> 00:31:32.059
And I don't know how much when you
tell it to do that, how much it's

00:31:32.059 --> 00:31:33.749
still trying to pull from the outside.

00:31:34.009 --> 00:31:34.319
Right.

00:31:34.319 --> 00:31:35.999
And versus what it's been given.

00:31:36.529 --> 00:31:39.619
So that you always got to take that
with a grain of salt and make sure it's

00:31:39.619 --> 00:31:41.129
not hallucinating and things like that.

00:31:41.669 --> 00:31:45.579
But for me, I would say like, I
definitely like to go find a video like

00:31:45.579 --> 00:31:48.769
you do and just being able to do it.

00:31:48.809 --> 00:31:52.949
I think learning by doing is, is like,
if there's a sample project, a quick

00:31:52.949 --> 00:31:57.209
start guide, pull down the tutorial,
get clone, whatever it needs to be.

00:31:57.219 --> 00:32:00.649
And I just need to like, get
it running and then maybe

00:32:00.669 --> 00:32:01.649
change some things to get it.

00:32:02.089 --> 00:32:06.149
to fail or break and then put
it back and just kind of poke at

00:32:06.149 --> 00:32:08.759
the edges to see what's possible.

00:32:09.099 --> 00:32:11.949
I've been doing that a lot with the
thing that I'm documenting right now

00:32:12.259 --> 00:32:16.649
because it's like the team that built
it, we still can't talk about it.

00:32:17.039 --> 00:32:18.159
The, the team that built it.

00:32:19.144 --> 00:32:23.024
It knows it in and out, but I need
to know it in and out to document it.

00:32:23.034 --> 00:32:28.684
And so I'm using it, breaking it,
fixing it, thinking like, okay, all

00:32:28.684 --> 00:32:31.534
these things that I already know,
do they still apply to this thing?

00:32:31.544 --> 00:32:33.664
Or is this like a new
thing that I need to think

00:32:33.674 --> 00:32:33.974
about?

00:32:34.504 --> 00:32:39.624
And to your point, you know, how do we
avoid having one very crucial, important

00:32:39.624 --> 00:32:43.414
line buried in the bottom of the docs
instead of like, these are the things

00:32:43.414 --> 00:32:44.784
you should know before you start.

00:32:45.294 --> 00:32:50.444
So, that's been interesting and in
a, I think like an episode or two

00:32:50.444 --> 00:32:53.124
from now, we'll actually get to
talk about the thing, which will be

00:32:53.204 --> 00:32:53.714
CJ: Nice.

00:32:53.974 --> 00:32:54.374
Yeah.

00:32:55.224 --> 00:33:02.174
So when you're thinking about these
complex topics and yeah, I guess learning

00:33:02.174 --> 00:33:06.624
a complex topic, like saying complex topic
to me is what is throwing me a little

00:33:06.624 --> 00:33:09.264
bit because a lot of like a lot of the
stuff that we're working with, a lot of

00:33:09.264 --> 00:33:14.504
the API clients, a lot of the like SDKs
and things, they're not that complex.

00:33:14.874 --> 00:33:16.284
It's when they're like, Yeah.

00:33:16.444 --> 00:33:20.004
For me, at least it's when they
explode out into like bigger domains.

00:33:20.234 --> 00:33:23.194
So for one example would
be like Stripe Connect.

00:33:23.194 --> 00:33:27.764
When you start like trying to facilitate
payments on behalf of other people, and

00:33:27.794 --> 00:33:32.634
you know, as a platform like Lyft or
Airbnb or whatever that kind of a topic

00:33:32.654 --> 00:33:36.994
where like, okay, using the SDKs is fine,
but you also need to know like, here's

00:33:36.994 --> 00:33:40.484
all these different concepts and hold
them in your head, like as you're going.

00:33:40.974 --> 00:33:41.654
And.

00:33:42.149 --> 00:33:48.409
Yeah, I guess in, in, in that sense,
oftentimes, like when you're reading a

00:33:48.409 --> 00:33:53.109
book, right, like you can kind of get the
main points as you go, or like you can

00:33:53.109 --> 00:33:56.959
be entertained as you go, but at the end,
you're not going to get a quiz on it.

00:33:56.959 --> 00:33:57.229
Right.

00:33:57.269 --> 00:33:59.959
And when you read through technical
documentation, and there's lots of

00:33:59.959 --> 00:34:04.219
different concepts, you almost need to
like, Sometimes I, I definitely need

00:34:04.219 --> 00:34:08.179
to go back and like reread it several
different times to just build in my head.

00:34:08.179 --> 00:34:11.419
Like what is the mental model for
all these different components

00:34:11.419 --> 00:34:12.289
and where do they fit in?

00:34:12.289 --> 00:34:16.649
And like, what step in the flow
are they involved in and trying

00:34:16.649 --> 00:34:18.329
to draw analogs to other things.

00:34:18.509 --> 00:34:24.529
So great, like couple great examples, the
Twilio conversations API, like they have

00:34:24.529 --> 00:34:30.409
this conversation, the concept of the
conversation, which is a set of messages

00:34:30.409 --> 00:34:32.879
between multiple different parties.

00:34:32.909 --> 00:34:35.579
And those are all
conversation participants.

00:34:36.019 --> 00:34:39.069
So you have to like make API calls
to create the conversation to create

00:34:39.069 --> 00:34:40.339
the conversation participants.

00:34:40.819 --> 00:34:45.649
But as a separate thing, you can
create a conversation user Which can

00:34:45.659 --> 00:34:49.259
be a participant in a conversation
user represents like, Oh, I'm a

00:34:49.259 --> 00:34:52.269
salesperson or a support person that
works at the company that is going to

00:34:52.269 --> 00:34:56.099
like, you know, Act on behalf of the
company in certain ways or whatever.

00:34:56.099 --> 00:34:59.219
And so those can also have roles
and like all these different things.

00:34:59.219 --> 00:35:02.969
And it took me a long time going through
the docs over and over and over and being

00:35:02.969 --> 00:35:06.809
like, why can't I just use conversations
and conversation participants?

00:35:06.809 --> 00:35:08.189
Why do I need this like, other thing?

00:35:08.719 --> 00:35:13.309
And yeah, so I guess for me, maybe
that's because I'm reading isn't my

00:35:13.309 --> 00:35:16.399
primary, it's like just I have to
go over it over and over and over.

00:35:16.729 --> 00:35:17.669
So, yeah.

00:35:17.759 --> 00:35:17.839
I

00:35:17.849 --> 00:35:20.289
Colin: Did they have any
diagrams and things, or

00:35:20.859 --> 00:35:21.699
models

00:35:22.329 --> 00:35:27.249
CJ: I did not see diagrams, but that
probably would have been helpful.

00:35:27.329 --> 00:35:27.769
Yeah.

00:35:29.649 --> 00:35:32.279
Colin: Yeah, I think the other thing
to think about is that we've been

00:35:32.279 --> 00:35:37.389
doing this for so long too that
like I realized the other day Do

00:35:37.389 --> 00:35:40.059
you remember when Oath was hard?

00:35:40.839 --> 00:35:41.399
Or is

00:35:41.759 --> 00:35:42.189
CJ: Right.

00:35:42.189 --> 00:35:42.439
Right.

00:35:42.439 --> 00:35:42.629
Right.

00:35:42.629 --> 00:35:42.879
Right.

00:35:43.429 --> 00:35:44.939
Colin: It kind of still can be

00:35:45.309 --> 00:35:47.259
because there's so many flavors of it But

00:35:47.369 --> 00:35:47.789
CJ: Right.

00:35:47.919 --> 00:35:48.359
Yeah.

00:35:48.879 --> 00:35:51.229
Colin: I was working on
something in one step.

00:35:51.299 --> 00:35:56.159
It was like step step five do
Oath and someone was like What?

00:35:56.659 --> 00:36:00.029
Like, this is like the, this is
like the draw a circle and now draw

00:36:00.029 --> 00:36:01.459
the rest of the owl, and you're

00:36:01.459 --> 00:36:05.089
like, no, no, no, to me, doing the
OAuth was only one step, but to

00:36:05.089 --> 00:36:06.439
them, like, that's its own guide.

00:36:06.819 --> 00:36:08.799
And I'm like, yeah, you're, you're right.

00:36:08.919 --> 00:36:10.199
And we have a guide on that.

00:36:10.669 --> 00:36:14.589
But for this, it is the tiniest,
this is the beginning point.

00:36:14.599 --> 00:36:15.359
Like, if you

00:36:15.369 --> 00:36:19.419
do not, it's a prerequisite to
understand OAuth to do this next thing.

00:36:19.779 --> 00:36:24.149
And so we do have to remember not to
take, you know, into account like our, the

00:36:24.149 --> 00:36:28.609
curse of knowledge that we have when we
think about these things, but there was, I

00:36:28.609 --> 00:36:33.099
remember having to like have this picture
of a lot in my head and like this happens

00:36:33.109 --> 00:36:34.319
and then there's this handshake and

00:36:34.809 --> 00:36:40.689
where do I keep this thing and now it's
very automatic or like a lot of the SDKs.

00:36:41.099 --> 00:36:42.339
Do it for you now,

00:36:42.619 --> 00:36:46.819
but it's important to know how it
works because when it breaks, you

00:36:46.829 --> 00:36:48.119
need to understand how it works.

00:36:48.119 --> 00:36:51.439
So that's something I've just been
trying to remind myself more about

00:36:51.439 --> 00:36:55.749
is that, like, how do we keep the
beginner's minds when you're learning?

00:36:55.759 --> 00:37:00.149
And then now when you learn the next
thing, you're not starting from zero,

00:37:00.149 --> 00:37:03.039
you're starting from a new starting place.

00:37:03.239 --> 00:37:03.669
CJ: hmm.

00:37:04.439 --> 00:37:04.609
Yeah.

00:37:04.609 --> 00:37:08.739
I guess another thing that comes to mind
sort of is using friction logging as

00:37:08.739 --> 00:37:11.709
yeah, as a way to start conversations
about how things should work.

00:37:12.159 --> 00:37:16.349
So especially when you're on a
DevRel team and you're providing

00:37:16.349 --> 00:37:18.939
product feedback to the product team.

00:37:19.544 --> 00:37:22.014
One way to do that is in these things
called friction logs, where you

00:37:22.014 --> 00:37:25.674
just like write out your stream of
consciousness of you trying to solve a

00:37:25.674 --> 00:37:28.074
problem with the tool that was built.

00:37:28.574 --> 00:37:32.834
And sometimes as you go through that,
the product team will be like, Oh,

00:37:32.944 --> 00:37:36.994
whoa, like we, this is not what we
expected people to think about that

00:37:36.994 --> 00:37:39.954
part of the documentation or that
part of the API or SDK or whatever.

00:37:40.544 --> 00:37:43.934
And so let's have a conversation
about that and try to make the

00:37:43.944 --> 00:37:45.704
developer experience better.

00:37:46.054 --> 00:37:48.304
Sometimes it's also like,
Oh, I was just being.

00:37:48.709 --> 00:37:52.199
Like dumb and I missed or like
completely misunderstood how

00:37:52.199 --> 00:37:53.139
that was supposed to work.

00:37:53.619 --> 00:37:58.249
But yeah, it can, yeah, writing a stream
of consciousness to try to explain what

00:37:58.249 --> 00:38:00.499
you were thinking when you're trying to
build something and then show it to the

00:38:00.499 --> 00:38:05.659
person, like the team responsible for
building that can, it can also lead to

00:38:05.659 --> 00:38:07.919
some fruitful conversations and learning.

00:38:09.384 --> 00:38:09.804
Colin: Totally.

00:38:10.799 --> 00:38:11.189
CJ: Yeah.

00:38:12.114 --> 00:38:12.614
Colin: All right.

00:38:12.614 --> 00:38:16.034
Well, I think we can tease this
one for next time, but we can

00:38:16.034 --> 00:38:17.124
talk about it a little bit.

00:38:17.184 --> 00:38:22.744
There's been a lot of conversation
about Campfire and the kind of one

00:38:22.754 --> 00:38:25.614
time, once business model of Campfire.

00:38:25.614 --> 00:38:28.924
We talked about it a few episodes
ago and like, we're curious to

00:38:28.924 --> 00:38:31.184
see how it went and it went live.

00:38:31.184 --> 00:38:32.044
It got sold.

00:38:32.514 --> 00:38:35.344
The numbers that were
kind of thrown around.

00:38:35.669 --> 00:38:41.489
A few weeks ago was that it had only
sold, had only, in quotes, sold like a

00:38:41.489 --> 00:38:46.249
thousand copies or so, that's probably
more now, but some people have just

00:38:46.249 --> 00:38:50.169
been, you know, armchair experting about
whether or not that was a success or not.

00:38:50.249 --> 00:38:54.544
Basecamp is You know, such a big
company and being able to release this.

00:38:54.554 --> 00:38:56.734
It's like kind of what, what
is the motivation for this?

00:38:56.734 --> 00:38:58.994
Do they think it's the
true business model?

00:38:59.414 --> 00:39:03.934
Ultimately it seems like a lot of
people bought it just to see the code.

00:39:04.534 --> 00:39:07.764
and we went ahead and bought it
so that we could see the code.

00:39:07.764 --> 00:39:10.464
So we'll definitely, we're
going to be looking at it.

00:39:10.894 --> 00:39:15.054
And then we'll talk about it in a,
in the next episode, but yeah, I

00:39:15.054 --> 00:39:16.304
mean, what do you think about this?

00:39:16.304 --> 00:39:19.974
Do you think that people actually
want to host this themselves?

00:39:19.974 --> 00:39:23.064
Do you think that there's like
this appetite that you want

00:39:23.064 --> 00:39:24.194
to have a server somewhere?

00:39:25.044 --> 00:39:29.454
CJ: I don't think anyone, well, I
mean, I'm sure there's going to be some

00:39:29.454 --> 00:39:32.914
people, but I, I would guess that the
majority of people who've bought it so

00:39:32.914 --> 00:39:38.494
far are just interested in looking at
the code that DHH wrote, or was kind of

00:39:38.494 --> 00:39:40.844
like responsible for in, in some way.

00:39:41.444 --> 00:39:48.844
And I, I'm really excited that
this is available and also like.

00:39:49.089 --> 00:39:55.749
In the same way, watching the maybe code
base evolve and, you know, getting to

00:39:55.759 --> 00:40:00.079
read this, getting to read the jumpstart
pro source, getting to read you know,

00:40:00.079 --> 00:40:02.779
there's, there's a few other like open
source rails projects that have been

00:40:02.779 --> 00:40:04.949
kicking off that seem really interesting.

00:40:04.949 --> 00:40:08.559
And so I'm, I'm just really
excited that there's more.

00:40:08.559 --> 00:40:13.561
And then there are full rails applications
that are going to be available some

00:40:13.561 --> 00:40:17.891
for free and some for money that you
can go and read and see how other

00:40:17.891 --> 00:40:19.011
people are approaching problems.

00:40:19.011 --> 00:40:22.061
Because I think for a long time there,
there really weren't any, right.

00:40:22.061 --> 00:40:26.261
It was like, you could see some toy
apps online or, you know, some read

00:40:26.261 --> 00:40:31.061
blog posts, but you couldn't really
dig into a full application source.

00:40:31.861 --> 00:40:37.621
Some company had used to actually run
and execute their entire business.

00:40:37.721 --> 00:40:40.471
Maybe there, maybe there are some
but yeah, I think that's like

00:40:40.471 --> 00:40:41.631
the most exciting part about it.

00:40:42.647 --> 00:40:42.987
Colin: Yeah.

00:40:42.987 --> 00:40:46.157
Well, and whoever bought it, I
think it already, it happened once.

00:40:46.157 --> 00:40:50.267
I'm not sure if there's plans to do
it again, but DHH did a walkthrough

00:40:50.267 --> 00:40:52.177
of the code for anyone who bought it.

00:40:52.627 --> 00:40:56.377
And I, some people were saying like, If
you want to think of this as a course,

00:40:56.377 --> 00:40:58.527
like it's cheaper than some courses.

00:40:58.567 --> 00:41:03.747
It's code written by DHH
and team who created Rails.

00:41:03.787 --> 00:41:08.787
Now, you know, obviously now Rails is more
than just DHH and it's a community effort.

00:41:08.827 --> 00:41:13.567
But if you want to see how,
you know, DHH thinks about some

00:41:13.567 --> 00:41:16.037
of these things, that's what's
motivating a lot of people to do it.

00:41:16.517 --> 00:41:20.357
I think they're doing a walkthrough
around the CSS and design with

00:41:20.357 --> 00:41:22.337
one of their designers coming up.

00:41:22.337 --> 00:41:23.287
So it's, it's interesting.

00:41:23.287 --> 00:41:23.927
It'd be almost.

00:41:24.402 --> 00:41:24.752
Very.

00:41:25.042 --> 00:41:28.862
I would be curious to get recordings of
those now that I have a copy of the code.

00:41:29.382 --> 00:41:33.162
And it could be sold as a course
if and people can still host it

00:41:33.162 --> 00:41:34.812
themselves the way that it comes.

00:41:35.202 --> 00:41:39.472
It comes with an install
script that installs docker.

00:41:39.972 --> 00:41:43.522
And downloads the code and all of that
onto the server that it's meant for.

00:41:43.912 --> 00:41:47.352
And they're using like license
keys and things like that.

00:41:47.822 --> 00:41:52.802
I'm mostly interested in, in looking at
the hotwire and stimulus side of things.

00:41:53.302 --> 00:41:58.952
I don't think that there's like
a mobile version necessarily,

00:41:59.012 --> 00:42:02.782
like using like hotwire and
turbo native and all that stuff.

00:42:03.202 --> 00:42:06.672
But I could see that becoming
a thing in the future.

00:42:06.727 --> 00:42:07.357
Two.

00:42:07.807 --> 00:42:12.417
My first pass of the code, there is a
bunch of stuff in there for bots, and

00:42:12.417 --> 00:42:14.907
I remember the OG campfire had bots.

00:42:14.907 --> 00:42:19.107
Like it was, it was ahead of the time,
you know, it was people were leaving

00:42:19.107 --> 00:42:23.727
IRC to go to campfire before Slack and
before teams and all these other tools.

00:42:24.087 --> 00:42:25.737
So I think those things might happen.

00:42:25.742 --> 00:42:30.127
I just don't know because they're not
getting recurring revenue and they're

00:42:30.127 --> 00:42:32.287
not gonna be able to resell like, hey.

00:42:33.417 --> 00:42:37.557
Here's a DLC like is there gonna be like
a 20 add on to get bots and integrations,

00:42:37.557 --> 00:42:42.507
but a lot of people use integrations
with slack and you're not going to go

00:42:42.507 --> 00:42:46.506
see like can't fire show up in Zapier
for instance, you know, you're gonna have

00:42:46.507 --> 00:42:51.607
to make some HTTP requests to your own
API, but we'll have to dig into the code.

00:42:51.607 --> 00:42:53.767
I haven't looked to see
like, is there an API?

00:42:54.207 --> 00:42:57.507
I imagine That there is, or at
least like some sort of webhook

00:42:57.517 --> 00:42:58.927
ingest or something like that.

00:42:59.551 --> 00:43:03.171
CJ: And is it that they just kind
of like took a snapshot in time and

00:43:03.171 --> 00:43:07.251
they're selling it as is at a certain
version or is it getting updates?

00:43:07.501 --> 00:43:08.541
Like, how does that work?

00:43:09.777 --> 00:43:14.947
Colin: From what I've seen, they've
mentioned that it's major version.

00:43:14.987 --> 00:43:19.447
So you'll probably get whatever
versions come from this, but they could

00:43:19.507 --> 00:43:21.797
potentially say like Campfire 2 is ready.

00:43:21.797 --> 00:43:23.787
And we redid the whole thing.

00:43:23.797 --> 00:43:27.947
And to be clear, this is not the
original Campfire that they packaged

00:43:27.947 --> 00:43:30.237
up from 2008 and threw over the fence.

00:43:30.267 --> 00:43:31.697
Like it was rebuilt.

00:43:32.087 --> 00:43:33.177
There's some things that.

00:43:33.467 --> 00:43:37.607
You know, I wonder, I'm sure they
use it internally because they're a

00:43:38.147 --> 00:43:44.607
decent sized team with like having
been in large communities in Slack

00:43:44.637 --> 00:43:46.037
and then now working at discord.

00:43:46.037 --> 00:43:51.577
I'd be curious to see like some of
their design choices around like having.

00:43:52.037 --> 00:43:54.297
Avatars and who's in the
server, like going horizontally.

00:43:54.837 --> 00:43:59.167
If you have over even a hundred
people, like scrolling sideways,

00:43:59.217 --> 00:44:01.817
a hundred times is, is rough.

00:44:02.237 --> 00:44:06.057
What does pagination look like when you
have thousands of people in a campfire?

00:44:06.397 --> 00:44:09.787
What do rooms look like when you have
that many people and notifications

00:44:09.797 --> 00:44:10.677
and all that kind of stuff?

00:44:10.677 --> 00:44:16.887
So yeah, chat apps are challenging, like
you've got persistence and you've got,

00:44:17.547 --> 00:44:21.087
you know, I think one of the benefits of
this is that you don't have the problem

00:44:21.087 --> 00:44:24.487
that you have with slack where you can't,
if you're on free slack, you don't get

00:44:24.487 --> 00:44:27.617
more than 30 days of message retention.

00:44:27.627 --> 00:44:32.567
So if you're really wanting to have
a quote unquote free, as long as you

00:44:32.567 --> 00:44:37.027
maintain it solution, it does seem like
a pretty cool thing that you can run.

00:44:37.537 --> 00:44:38.597
And if you're a fan of.

00:44:39.042 --> 00:44:42.286
37 signals, then you have
another thing to look at.

00:44:44.546 --> 00:44:47.566
CJ: it's interesting because we are
building internally, we're building

00:44:47.566 --> 00:44:52.076
like this customer support interface
that is very much a chat app.

00:44:52.116 --> 00:44:57.266
It's just, well, like customers will
receive the messages as SMS or as email,

00:44:57.776 --> 00:45:03.206
but internally it has like, you know Like
bot integration, where we're generating

00:45:03.606 --> 00:45:07.556
responses with different AI tools and
then being able to like auto complete.

00:45:07.556 --> 00:45:10.366
And we have like our own little
mini co pilot thing going on.

00:45:10.986 --> 00:45:17.176
And the, as a team, we decided to
build a lot of that and react just

00:45:17.176 --> 00:45:20.526
because it was like a little bit
more interactive on the front end.

00:45:20.556 --> 00:45:23.736
And so looking, I'm kind of
curious to see, you know, inside

00:45:23.736 --> 00:45:26.436
of campfire, how are they solving
all these things without react?

00:45:26.446 --> 00:45:28.716
And they're just kind of using
stimulus and hotwire and.

00:45:29.336 --> 00:45:34.706
They're able to build a world class sort
of solution without too much JavaScript or

00:45:35.166 --> 00:45:38.946
so it sounds like, yeah, be cool to see.

00:45:40.047 --> 00:45:40.567
Colin: Totally.

00:45:41.667 --> 00:45:42.697
I'm excited to dig into it.

00:45:42.697 --> 00:45:46.137
It sounds like even for some of those
like bot things it might be interesting

00:45:46.137 --> 00:45:49.917
to look at for you guys to see if
there's any, anything to inspire there.

00:45:49.917 --> 00:45:56.247
And you know, I'm, I'm still curious
to see how all these things Work

00:45:56.257 --> 00:46:00.177
with, I don't think this project uses
tailwind because they don't want to

00:46:00.177 --> 00:46:03.487
use all the dependencies and things,
but like, I'm always curious to see

00:46:03.487 --> 00:46:08.097
like the front end, both design and
JavaScript or lack of JavaScript.

00:46:08.607 --> 00:46:13.487
If not needed to do like these live
updates and refreshes and HTML over

00:46:13.497 --> 00:46:14.917
the wire and all that kind of stuff.

00:46:14.917 --> 00:46:17.667
So stoked to dig in.

00:46:18.246 --> 00:46:18.796
CJ: Totally.

00:46:20.046 --> 00:46:23.196
That's probably a good spot
to wrap it up as always.

00:46:23.196 --> 00:46:24.736
You can head over to build and learn.

00:46:24.736 --> 00:46:27.796
dev to check out all the links
and resources in the show notes.

00:46:27.806 --> 00:46:31.776
And we will yeah, drop some
affiliate links to budgeting

00:46:31.776 --> 00:46:33.156
tools you can go sign up for.

00:46:33.816 --> 00:46:34.306
So,

00:46:34.717 --> 00:46:35.237
Colin: All right.

00:46:35.467 --> 00:46:36.817
We'll see you next time.

00:46:37.326 --> 00:46:37.636
CJ: All right.

00:46:37.646 --> 00:46:38.146
Bye friends.
