In this weeks episode of the podcast, freeCodeCamp founder Quincy Larson interviews Jessica Lord, AKA JLord. Shes worked as a software engineer for more than a decade at companies like GitHub and Glitch.
Among her many accomplishments, Jessica created the Electon team at GitHub. Electron is a library for building desktop apps using browser technologies. If youve used the desktop version of Slack, Figma, or VS Code, youve used Electron.
I recorded this podcast live and I havent edited it at all. I want to capture the feel of a real live conversation, with all the human quirks that entails. As with all my podcast episodes, I start by performing a classic bass line. Can you guess what song this bass line is from? Its a cult hit from 1990.
