    POD 48 - New AI Opportunities & Hybrid Roles - with Finn Dollimore

    In this episode, I sit down with Finn Dollimore, senior web developer at Antler. We talk about where Webflow fits in a world where AI can spin up a site faster than most developers can. Finn makes the case that Webflow builders are actually well-positioned right now, not despite AI, but because of it. We get into hybrid roles, app development, vibe coding, the future of design tools, frameworks like Lumos, personal branding, and why pairing two or three skills together might be the smartest career move you can make.

    In this episode, I sit down with Michael Wells, founder of Sygnal Technologies. We get into reverse proxies, code components, Webflow Cloud, AppGen and where the platform is heading.

    POD 45 - This Might Be the Best Way to Land a Job at Webflow - with Matthew P Munger

    In this episode, I sit down with Matthew Munger, Senior Release Operations Manager at Webflow. Matthew's road to Webflow was anything but straight. He went from graphic design and film production to freelancing in Lesotho with 0.3 megabit internet, before becoming a forum moderator, a beta tester, and eventually a Webflow employee. We talk about his multiple roles inside Webflow, what it actually takes to get hired there, the chaos behind the Webflow Conf keynote demos, and what the future of the platform looks like from the inside.

    POD 44 - Webflow IX3 Is Great, But You Can Do More - with Bimo Tri

    I sat down with Bimo Tri to talk about custom code and GSAP in Webflow. Bimo walked me through his shift from funnel building to creative development, and how he thinks about the balance between design and code. We covered how he works with clients, the role of art direction in his projects, and why he uses social media to connect with other developers. We also talked about design awards, whether they matter, and where Webflow and AI are headed. Bimo's take is simple: focus on enjoying the work instead of chasing recognition. We also spent time on the Webflow community in Indonesia and how it's developing. Check out Bimo:https://www.bamoj.com/https://www.linkedin.com/in/bamoj/https://www.instagram.com/bamojk/
