Netflix Engineering with Jay Phelps

Today, you can access Netflix on virtually any device. For a Netflix user, this seamless experience can be easy to take for granted, but it requires an enormous engineering effort.

Jay Phelps is a Senior Software Engineer at Netflix where he works on Shared Client Foundations. He joins the show to talk about the start of his career, his work at Netflix, and much more.

Josh Goldberg is an independent full time open source developer in the TypeScript ecosystem. He works on projects that help developers write better TypeScript more easily, most notably on typescript-eslint: the tooling that enables ESLint and Prettier to run on TypeScript code. Josh regularly contributes to open source projects in the ecosystem such as ESLint and TypeScript. Josh is a Microsoft MVP for developer technologies and the author of the acclaimed Learning TypeScript (O’Reilly), a cherished resource for any developer seeking to learn TypeScript without any prior experience outside of JavaScript. Josh regularly presents talks and workshops at bootcamps, conferences, and meetups to share knowledge on TypeScript, static analysis, open source, and general frontend and web development.
