- 10:12 ShopTalk Déjà vu: I recently heard you guys talk about the virtues of CSS frameworks. One con that you mentioned was the huge amount of unused CSS that gets bundled with each website.
- 13:58 In response to a question you had about parsing data out of emails: Zapier!
- 21:00 I was wondering if you guys could talk about the similarities and differences, unique benefits and struggles to working as a dev in an agency environment versus not at an agency.
- 31:20 In the Dad edition you talked about how the Coda days were dangerous with no version control and all FTP mayhem. I'm curious about what you think as an ideal dev/publishing environment and process for a freelance solo developer?
- 40:50 Any thoughts on how to sort out files with a good naming convention on large projects?
