In this episode Donn talks about why you need to learn React (or Flutter) – so you can truly understand the Unidirectional data flow pattern in a framework that was built for that purpose alone.

Working with other frameworks which bolt on a custom unidirectional data flow is often hard to understand. When you work with React and learn how it works, the concept of Unidirectional data flow starts to make much more sense as that is the default way to implement UI’s in technologies like React (and Flutter).

This exposes you to the pattern and helps you understand it. In turn, this will help you become a better developer.

This is the original story of how Uber was built … this is a fascinating story. You don’t want to miss this. Donn talks to Jason Roberts. Jason was chosen to be Uber’s CTO when the company was in its infancy (but didn’t accept the offer). Jason shares the story of developing the code that eventually ran Uber from a couple of cars to a highly distributed system with an impressive amount of rides.

We talk about building what is needed when it’s needed, the tools that he chose to build Uber’s platform on. Early startup learnings, and how Uber originally ran on PHP before he chose to move it to Node.js.

Jason shares his story of how he met Travis (Uber’s CEO who took it from a small company to a huge international corporation), how they built the systems, and team and much more. You’ll learn how networking, working on interesting things, and seizing the moment and luck played into him landing his role at Uber.

Finally, we wrap up by chatting a bit about how being a generalist in an early-stage startup is beneficial (vs being a specialist).
