A message from your host

Welcome to The Drunk Web. I am your host Sina Jazayeri. You are awesome by the way, for tuning in. I have no idea how to do a podcast, Iā€™ve never done one before so I have a lot of things to figure out, but I am hoping that the quality of my guests and the material itself will make up for some of those things.

A quick background on me: I live in New York City. Iā€™ve been a software engineer for nearly 15 years. I build web, native and mobile apps, for the most part front end. What I like the most and what Iā€™m good at is where front end engineering meets UX/UI design. I like design software architecture as well as graphics and experiences and there is no better place to do all of those things at once, than the web. So thatā€™s where I ended up. Right now, Iā€™m a Senior Director of Software Engineering at InRhythm. I'm also the founder of ColorCode.io, a free code school with lots of videos and goodies. It's kewl, check it out! If you wanna know more about me, my website is sinjaz.com.

I realize there are people out there with already great podcasts and shows, great material and insight into the industry. Iā€™m a big fan of The Web Ahead by Jen Simmons, shout out to Jen, Shop Talk Show with Dave Rupert and Chris Coyier, also a good one (I mean who doesnā€™t like Chris!), and plenty others. So very quickly I want to talk about why the world needs yet another Podcast.

Iā€™ve been lucky enough to meet and work with so many amazing individuals, engineers, designers, strategists, even managers and testers, and often I sit down with them and have conversations that I would have loved to listen to when I was first starting out. Or even now. I think thereā€™s a tremendous amount of value in discussing our industry in a casual setting, with the people who are actively working in it and are making it better every day.

So a while ago I sat down with an old friend of mine who played a big role in my understanding of browser behavior, specifically core CSS. I wanted to tell him what Iā€™ve been up to, and while chatting at the bar, and I noticed how much the drinks helped the conversation. Apparently I didnā€™t get the memo on drinks!ā€¦ So anyway, our conversation turned into something between a technical discussion and Drunk History. Except not as drunk! I actually recorded it and listened to it the next day and found a lot of interesting discoveries. So I decided to create my own version of a web podcast with this casual and social element thrown into the mix. Maybe one day I can tape the show at bars and lounges around New York, but for now I hope you get something out of these conversations. And thank you so much for tuning in again.

Thank you for coming by,
Sina
