00:29:00,00 --> 00:38:00,00

are, how they found Virtual
00:46:00,000 --> 00:56:00,000
Dan: Nick is a Software Engineer at Forum, the company behind Dev.
He's a big fan of TypeScript, JavaScript, React, Preact, and Node.

6
00:00:13,500 --> 00:00:16,859
Coffee, and how that influences
their lives as developers.
00:57:00,000 --> 01:06:00,000
Dan: Once upon a time, he was into C# and ASP.net.
Aside from programming, he enjoys hitting the gym, snowboarding, and a long, long time ago, Rugby.

7
00:00:17,629 --> 00:00:19,609
Dan: We wanted to bring
everything that's special about
01:07:00,000 --> 01:11:00,000
Dan: Nick is also one of our first members.
He's been in Virtual Coffee since nearly the beginning.

8
00:00:19,609 --> 00:00:23,000
Virtual Coffee. The intimacy and
the friendships we've built, and
01:12:00,000 --> 01:21:00,000
Dan: He's [Nick] helped us out in many ways.
He's been a note taker, and a room leader, a mentor, and open source maintainer and an all around awesome human being.


9
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:25,010
share that with everyone through
the podcast.
01:22:00,000 --> 01:29:00,000
Dan: So Nick is going to talk about live streaming and open source
And he will share with us his approach to life which he calls structured YOLO.

10
00:00:25,940 --> 00:00:28,100
Bekah: 2020 has been a tough
year, but Virtual
01:30:00,000 --> 01:40:00,000
Bekah: We start every episode like we start every virtual coffee
We introduce ourselves with our name, where we're from what we do and a random check in question.

11
00:00:28,100 --> 00:00:30,469
Coffee is the bright spot that's
become this community.
01:41:00,000 --> 01:45:00,000
Bekah: Today's question is
What is one thing that are you afraid of?

12
00:00:31,259 --> 00:00:33,509
Dan: We're always growing and
learning together as a
01:46:00,000 --> 01:49:00,000
Dan: We hope you enjoy this episode of Virtual Coffee podcast

13
00:00:33,509 --> 00:00:36,179
group. And there's something
really special about being able
01:59:00,000 --> 02:07:00,000
Bekah: Hey, I'm Bekah, I'm a front end developer from a small town in Ohio.
And one of my biggest fears is waffle bridges.

14
00:00:36,179 --> 00:00:38,759
to do that, knowing you have the
full support of the community

02:08:00,00 --> 02:17:00,000
Dan: Hi I am Dan. I am a front end developer from Clevland, Ohio.
And one of my biggest fears is hornets.
15
00:00:38,759 --> 00:00:41,338
around you. And that's what this
podcast is about too.

02:17:00,01 --> 02:19:00,000
Nick Taylor: Hornets[silence]
Dan: Don't like them [silence] yeah
16
00:00:42,710 --> 00:00:44,149
Bekah: We're kicking off the
season by
02:20:00,000 --> 02:31:00,000
Nick: My name is Nick Taylor. I'm a senior software engineer at Forem
And I say one of my biggest fears is heights.

17
00:00:44,149 --> 00:00:47,329
hearing from Nick Taylor about
live streaming and open source.
02:31:02,000 --> 02:42:00,000
Nick: I am not a fan of heights.
I remember in grade six,
I cried at the bottom of the CN Tower because I had a hard time going up.



18
00:00:47,869 --> 00:00:50,090
Nick Taylor: This, this is kind
of where my journey of
02:44:00,000 --> 02:45:00,000
Nick: And it was traumatic
Bekah: [giggles] Oh no


19
00:00:50,090 --> 00:00:51,649
structured YOLO begins.
02:47:00,000 --> 02:50:00,000
Nick: So you wanna know how I ended up?
Bekah: Yeah, yeah. Let's start with your origin story.

20
00:00:52,039 --> 00:00:54,590
Bekah: Marie Antons about coming
into tech
02:51:00,000 --> 02:55:00,000
Bekah: How'd you get into programming?
Nick: Uhh [pauses] I don't know.

21
00:00:54,590 --> 00:00:56,179
from a nontraditional
background.
02:55:01,000 --> 03:03:00,000
Nick: I feel like it's a [pauses] classic story
Of uhh [pauses] somebody who has no idea what they wanna do.

22
00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:59,179
Marie Antons: Previous
experience really helps you in
03:04:00,000 --> 03:07:00,000
Nick: Umm [pauses] I-I had a computer.
Like we had computers when I was younger.

23
00:00:59,179 --> 00:01:02,270
software development. Because
think of a recipe is kind of
03:08:00,000 --> 03:10:00,000
Nick: Like uhh had a Vic 20.
I'm a little older.

24
00:01:02,270 --> 00:01:05,060
like building a website, like,
"Oh, I know I need this piece.
03:14:00,000 --> 03:16:00,000
Nick: So that's before [pauses] I think that's before the Commodore 64.
Or after. Can't remember the order.

25
00:01:05,420 --> 00:01:08,480
But what if I don't know how to
do this piece? I'll go look it

25
03:17:00,000 --> 03:19:00,000
Nick: But you know so.
That was fun as a kid.
26
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:11,750
up, go watch a YouTube video."
And then eventually, you get to
03:19:00,000 --> 03:23:00,000
Nick: Just doing stuff.
Like priinting your name multiple times over the screen

27
00:01:11,750 --> 00:01:14,060
a place where you're like,
comfortable. "Oh, I can make
03:24:00,000 --> 03:31:00,000
Nick: And eventually got like a Clone PC
Which seemed the big thing in the day of the 80's.

28
00:01:14,060 --> 00:01:15,484
cookies now without looking at
the recipe. I can make this, I

03:33:00,000 --> 03:38:00,000
Nick: Cuz like [pauses] the actual like
I guess-I guess it would have been IBM machines were expensive back then
29
00:01:15,484 --> 00:01:16,908
can
03:40:00,000 --> 03:46:00,000
Nick: And just didn't do too much on there.
Like my-my dad's an account and financial planner.

30
00:01:16,909 --> 00:01:18,979
do -- I can create a modal, I
can do the CSS Grid without
03:47:00,000 --> 03:51:00,000
Nick: So, he-he's always like working in spreadsheets and stuff.
And we really didn't have any games.

31
00:01:18,979 --> 00:01:21,049
really
03:52:00,000 --> 03:54:00,000
Nick: So like, I was making pie charts
And Lotus 123.

32
00:01:21,049 --> 00:01:22,609
having to go to the
documentation every single
03:58:00,000 --> 04:03:00,000
Nick: And I just thought that was cool on a monochrome monitor.
But uh Menvesti got a couple-couple games there

33
00:01:22,609 --> 00:01:24,169
time."
04:04:00,000 --> 04:06:00,000
Nick: And like uh [pauses] a clone Pac Man
Alot of cloned stuff.

34
00:01:24,620 --> 00:01:26,480
Bekah: And Tori Crawford about
the problems of
04:07:00,000 --> 04:18:00,000
Nick: Uhh [pauses] but that's [pauses] kinda like [pauses] my early introduction to computers.
Uhh but I honestly was never like [pauses] a diehard programmer.


35
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:28,010
interviewing in the industry.
04:20:00,000 --> 04:23:00,000
Nick: Umm [pauses] it was only really [pauses]
Once I [pauses] got to see Jeff.

36
00:01:28,670 --> 00:01:33,590
Tori Crawford: Interviewing was
crazy for me. I think I went

04:24:00,000 --> 04:31:00,000
Nick: See Jeff is like, "It's the last two years of high school in the state."
So I guess it's we don't have like a great 12 grade 13.
37
00:01:33,590 --> 00:01:41,930
through 53 interviews. Yeah, it
was, like, quite a struggle at

**Do tomorrow**
Nick:
38
00:01:41,930 --> 00:01:42,620
times.
