Vercel’s Glenn Hitchcock & John Pham - Design engineering deep dive

Over the last few months, design engineering has by far been the #1 most requested topic. So I wanted to get the inside scoop from the team at Vercel to learn more. In this episode we get to hear from:

1. Glenn Hitchcock - https://twitter.com/glennui (Director of design engineering)

2. John Pham - https://twitter.com/JohnPhamous (Lead design engineer)

- The strategy behind Vercel’s new website

- Why Vercel built a design engineering team

- How designers collaborate with design engineers

- What Vercel looks for when hiring design engineers

- How Vercel is always building with re-usability in mind
