  • From Code to DevRel and Leadership
    May 9 2024

    In the seventh episode of DejaVue, Alex sits down with Team Lead Marc Backes as our guest. Our conversation takes us on a journey through his career with Programming and Vue.js. Marc shares the beginnings of his coding journey, from the development of Software for a Mexican University and lessons learned from founding a startup and eventually joining a German company as freelance developer.


    We also dig deeper into the world of Developer Relations (DevRel) and talk about Marc's transition into this field, as well as major achievements such as the CODE100 Coding Competition and the importance of ambassadors for frameworks such as Vue and Nuxt.


    Further, Marc sheds light on his decision to leave DevRel and becoming a Tech Lead at the company he's been with twice beforehand. We explore how this transition addressed certain pain points and dive into practical strategies for handling legacy code and technical debt.

  • Nuxt Server Components
    May 2 2024

    Welcome to the sixth episode of DejaVue! Alex is joined by another amazing guest - he is a Front-end Developer, Public Speaker and also part of the Nuxt.js core team - Julien Huang.

    While Michael is still off on paternity leave, Julien and Alex talk about how Julien started to code (during COVID 😲) and when he dabbled into open source, which culminated in joining the Nuxt team and regularly contributing.
    One of the key feature that Julien is working on are Server Components - so of course the rest of the episode revolves around them. What are they? How do they work? And when should you use them? Julien will go in-depth on all these questions, give some behind the scene looks and "do's and don'ts" advice too!
    Eventually, the future of Server Components is discussed.

  • From Side Hustle to Server Side Events
    Apr 25 2024

    Welcome to the fifth episode of DejaVue! While Michael is on paternity leave after becoming a father, Alex is joined by a special guest, Patrick van Everdingen, Full Stack Developer, Speaker, Panel Host an Co-Founder of CareerDeck.

    In this episode, we talk about how Patrick started his Vue- and Nuxt-based side project, CareerDeck - and how it grew from an idea at a pool in Italy to a full-fledged application. From the initial idea to the current state of the application, we discuss the tech stack, the challenges, and also the future of CareerDeck.

    Learn why Patrick chose Vue and Nuxt, why decided to rebuild the application again and how he uses AI to create real value for the users of CareerDeck.

    Eventually, Patrick turns the tables and asks Alex about his thoughts on the future of Nuxt and how it compares to other frameworks like Laravel or NestJS, as well as the role of plain Vue in the ecosystem.
