  "textContent": "Chuck and Robbie are joined by Emmy Cao, Developer Advocate at Wix, and Yoav Abrahami, Chief Architect at Wix at the RenderATL 2023 conference to talk all things tech, including whether low code, no code tools are making developers obsolete.\n\nEmmy and Yoav delve into Wix’s code-first approach, where users can write code and then create screens that modify that code visually. They highlight the accessibility of Wix's platform for designers and individuals new to development, allowing them to learn coding concepts with ease. They also discuss the inclusivity of the developer community, acknowledging that coding proficiency does not define one's legitimacy as a developer. They appreciate the democratization of coding and the potential for more people to learn and engage with technology through platforms like Wix.\n\nIn this episode, Emmy and Yoav talk to Robbie and Chuck about their perspective on popular tech debates on Twitter, the evolving nature of developer roles, and the concept of no-code and low-code platforms like Wix.\n\nKey Takeaways\n\n * [00:25] - Introduction to Emmy Cao and Yoav Abrahami.\n * [01:05] - A whiskey review: Castle and Key - Restoration Rye Whiskey.\n * [11:26] - Yoav and Emmy speak about tech careers and tech hot takes.\n * [33:17] - Yoav and Emmy discuss the direction Wix is going in.\n * [47:46] - Vendor lock-in at Wix.\n * [52:06] - Emmy talks about e-sports coaching.\n * [56:36] - Yoav’s walk from Israel to the United States.\n\nQuotes\n\n[14:01] - “Development is about the experience, getting something done, getting software shipped, fixing these problems.” ~ Yoav Abrahami [https://twitter.com/yoavabrahami]\n\n[15:03] - “Thirty years ago, it was just a developer alone sitting behind a computer coding.” ~ Yoav Abrahami [https://twitter.com/yoavabrahami]\n\n[41:48] - “Honestly, I don’t think coding is as hard as people make it out to be.” ~ Emmy Cao [https://twitter.com/emmycacao]\n\nLinks\n\n * Emmy Cao Twitter [https://twitter.com/emmycacao?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor]\n * Emmy Cao LinkedIn [https://www.linkedin.com/in/emmycao/]\n * Yoav Abrahami Twitter [https://twitter.com/yoavabrahami?lang=en]\n * Yoav Abrahami LinkedIn [https://www.linkedin.com/in/yoavabrahami/?originalSubdomain=il]\n * Wix [https://www.wix.com/]\n * Devs on Wix [https://twitter.com/DevsOnWix]\n * Castle and Key: Restoration Rye Whiskey [https://www.castleandkey.com/products/restoration-rye-whiskey]\n * Douglas Laing & Co [https://www.douglaslaing.com/]\n * Fireball Whiskey [https://www.fireballwhisky.com/content/fireball/us/en.html]\n * Sagamore Rye Whiskey [https://sagamorespirit.com/spirits/signature-rye-whiskey/]\n * Chicken Cock Whiskey [https://chickencockwhiskey.com/]\n * HBO Max [https://www.hbomax.com/jm/en]\n * Peacock [https://www.peacocktv.com/]\n * Twitter [https://twitter.com/?lang=en]\n * Tailwind CSS [https://tailwindcss.com/]\n * Adobe Photoshop [https://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop.html]\n * EmberConf 2023 [https://www.emberconf.com/]\n * Ember [https://emberjs.com/]\n * Velo [https://www.wix.com/velo]\n * React [https://react.dev/]\n * jQuery [https://jquery.com/]\n * Angular [https://angular.io/]\n * WordPress [https://wordpress.com/]\n * ChatGPT [https://openai.com/blog/chatgpt]\n * OpenAI [https://openai.com/]\n * Squarespace [https://www.squarespace.com/]\n * Headless UI [https://headlessui.com/]\n * Codux [https://www.codux.com/]\n * Adobe Dreamweaver [https://www.adobe.com/products/dreamweaver.html]\n * Node JS [https://nodejs.org/]\n * GitHub [https://github.com/]\n * AWS Lambda [https://aws.amazon.com/lambda/]\n * Roblox [https://www.roblox.com/]\n * Valve Corporation [https://www.valvesoftware.com/]\n * FIFA 2023 [https://www.ea.com/fifa]\n * Discord [https://discord.com/]\n\nConnect with our hosts\n\n * Robbie Wagner [https://twitter.com/RobbieTheWagner]\n * Chuck Carpenter [https://twitter.com/CharlesWthe3rd/with_replies]\n * Ship Shape [https://shipshape.io/]\n\nSubscribe and stay in touch\n\n * Apple Podcasts [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/whiskey-web-and-whatnot/id1552776603]\n * Spotify [https://open.spotify.com/show/19jiuHAqzeKnkleQUpZxDf]\n * Google Podcasts [https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy50cmFuc2lzdG9yLmZtL3doaXNrZXktd2ViLWFuZC13aGF0bm90]\n * Whiskey Web and Whatnot [https://whiskeywebandwhatnot.fm/]\n\nTop-Tier, Full-Stack Software Consultants\n\nThis show is brought to you by Ship Shape.
