    Richard Feldman on AI, Programming Languages, and High-Quality Software | Frontend Masters Podcast Episode #24

    In this episode, Richard Feldman (creator of Roc, Elm educator, and Zed engineer) discusses AI’s focus on "vibe coding" over high-quality tools, why functional programming’s real value lies in ecosystems—not dogma—and how frustration with slow compilers led him to design the Roc programming language. He shares Zed’s pragmatic use of AI for code "rough drafts," lessons learned from teaching Elm and Rust, and why prioritizing outcomes always beats out industry hype. He shares some Java war stories, JSX’s early controversy, and why Zed’s performance-first approach defies today’s norms. Tune in for deep dives on language design, where he sees AI’s potential, and the myth about using "boring" tech.Check out Richard’s Frontend Masters courses here: https://frontendmasters.com/teachers/richard-feldmanFrontend Masters Online:Twitter: https://twitter.com/FrontendMastersLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/frontend-masters/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/FrontendMastersInstagram: https://instagram.com/FrontendMastersAbout Us:Advance your skills with in-depth, modern front-end engineering courses — our 150+ high-quality courses and 18 curated learning paths will guide you from mid-level to senior developer! https://frontendmasters.com/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=home_link&utm_campaign=podcastepisode24

    Kevin Powell | Modern CSS Features

    In this episode of The Frontend Masters Podcast, Kevin Powell, a CSS educator and YouTuber,  describes his transition from print design to web development before finding his niche in teaching CSS online. Kevin started his YouTube channel eight years ago as a creative outlet while teaching at a vocational school. He grew it from 100 initial subscribers to a full-time career through consistent weekly content focused exclusively on CSS and HTML. Throughout the podcast, Kevin shares insights on modern CSS features like container queries and view transitions while emphasizing the importance of understanding fundamentals before adopting frameworks like Tailwind. His success stems from deliberately maintaining a narrow focus on CSS despite pressure to cover other technologies, and his journey exemplifies how specializing in one area and maintaining consistency can lead to sustainable content creation. The interview concludes with Kevin reflecting on how he "accidentally" found his path through trying different careers and hobbies until finding what stuck.
