661: Working Vacations, Ripping Out JavaScript, and Non-US Cloud Service Options

Hey there, ShopWithMex here listening to another episode of the Shop, Talk, Show podcast all about front end website development. A lot of AI. Just probably forty five minutes of AI. Just that's what's, you know, within the trend. So whoops. So just kidding. There's none about AI in this week's episode. Although, it does seem to seems to seems to come up, you know, but, I don't have any plan to do it this particular time. Yeah. I do, I do feel like I want to issue a correction. We're talking about state of the browser comp last time. We were saying, hey, we were talking about conferences, why they don't exist anymore. And I said Dave Story put on, the the, say, the browser comp. It was Dave Littori. I apologize there. Dave is great. And, yeah. So Dave Story is a JavaScript developer.

So for Paul, that says that would be stuff like GitHub and Netlify and whatever, Firebase, stuff like that that are those are companies that are US based, to some degree.

Like, you'd have to just sit down and and just research it. And, I'm not above that, I guess, for the show. I just haven't done that. I didn't have any particular need to in my day to day work at the moment. But then I was browsing around or whatever, just reading my RSSs or whatever I do. I can't I can't remember exactly …
