    38 - Reminiscing on Remix

    In this episode, Austin shares about his recent experience with Remix.run, a full-stack JavaScript web framework. We discuss what it is, what it's not, some things we like, some things we don't, and how you can think about it. TLDR: It's pretty cool. In fact, it even got Austin to write React.
