“That's my goal in life is to ensure that people forget that they're actually even using the application, because it becomes such a normal part of their life, that it just becomes second nature.” — @nellarro [0:01:43]
“It's a human right to be able to use the Internet. I feel as developers, we need to make sure that all humans can use the web, period.” — @nellarro [0:28:08]
“I think that's really important is making sure that your code is readable for an engineer to be able to look at your code and be like, ‘I get that. I see what's happening.’” — @nellarro [0:33:19]

“Because it’s configurable and flexible, Tailwind gives you many options to enforce style guidelines — it also gives you a mini-design system to simplify your work.” — @TheAlexLichter [0:08:55]
“SEO isn’t rocket science. It's how you optimize your pages for the user. Though it's called search engine optimization, the user is actually the focus.” — @TheAlexLichter [0:19:16]

“Composition API is the ability to share features across different components in a way that's modular, but in a way that also, you can maintain and track.” — @enjoythevuecast [0:03:23]
“In components when you have so many features that it's hard to tell what's talking to what anymore, this is really where people start to want to break things apart. This is where composition API can shine.” — @enjoythevuecast [0:07:28]
“Just because you can use a tool, it doesn't mean you should.” — @enjoythevuecast [0:22:26]

“I’m just basically trying things out and figuring out how Teleport works based on what's not working in all those experiments.” — @enjoythevuecast [0:02:46]
“You can send multiple teleports to the same destination, but it's still technically multiple points of origin, not a single point of origin.” — @enjoythevuecast [0:20:08]
