It’s the day I got laid off from my last full-time job and went freelance. So in honor of that, I’m putting together a video. I’ve called it ‘Going Rogue’. Yes, I know that there’s a political thing around that, whatever. Anyway, I called it ‘Going Rogue’. You can get it at GoingRogueVideo.com.It’s basically the first year of me going freelance. I’ve just talked through how it all went. The mistakes I made, the things I learned, the things I did right, and just gave general advice to anyone who’s looking to go freelance. Or if you’re interested in some of the challenges that come with that, it’s a video that I’m putting together to kind of explain that. Like I said, it’s free. You can get it at GoingRogueVideo.com. Yeah, I’m pretty excited about it. I’m also excited about Freedom Day.Anyway, we also have a special guest today, and that’s Alex MacCaw.ALEX: How do you do? Thank you for having me.CHUCK: You’ve been on the show before, but it’s been almost a year.

And Marcus Phillips.MARCUS: Hi everybody.CHUCK: Since you guys haven't been on the show before, do you want to introduce yourself? We’ll have Marcus go first.MARCUS: Sure. I'm Marcus Phillips. I'm a JavaScript enthusiast. I've been in it for a long time. Really excited about framework architecture and lately, all about teaching what I've learned over the course of time that I've been working in the Bay Area and working on the frontend of Twitter and things like that. Nowadays, I teach at Hack Reactor full time which is an immersive school for learning to become a developer over a period of three months.JAMISON: Cool.CHUCK: And which technologies do you teach at Hack Reactor?MARCUS: We use JavaScript as our teaching language. Fundamentally, what we’re trying to do is teach people software engineering principles. So, JavaScript just turns out to be one of the most useful languages we can use to do that. But from there, we kind of want to give people practical skills that they can use immediately on the job. So, we definitely drive the entire curriculum out of GitHub repos and teach them some practical things like Backbone and Node and deployment strategies. So yeah, we kind of cover the gambit from frontend to backend with a focus on JavaScript in particular.CHUCK: Awesome. That sounds really cool.JOE: Yeah, it does.MARCUS: It’s a lot of fun.CHUCK: Fred,Special Guests: Fred Zirdung and Marcus Phillips.

So my name’s Pete. I work on general React stuff these days. But my day job is building the Instagram web experience. If you go to Instagram.com, we have a bunch of frontend stuff you can play with and a bunch of backend infrastructure that supports all that. That’s what I mostly work on. We’re big users of React at Instagram so I ended up contributing a lot to the React core as well.JAMISON: So did you come from Instagram or from Facebook and then to work on Instagram?PETE: Well it was actually a pretty good story just in terms of the integration of the two companies. I was originally at Facebook for a couple of years and we acquired Instagram and they came in and they wanted to build a web presence. Facebook’s core competency is definitely web technologies and Instagram hasn’t historically focused on that. So we were able to take the Facebook web expertise and get Instagram up and running really quickly. I came from the Facebook side but the team is still very much a separate team, their own building, that kind of thing. So that’s my background.CHUCK: Awesome.JAMISON: Sweet.CHUCK: And Jordan?Special Guests: Jordan Walke and Pete Hunt.

And this week, we’re going to be talking about screencasting and sharing what you know through that kind of a visual medium. Before we get going, I’m wondering how much of this have you guys done?JAMISON: None.JOE: [Chuckles] I’ve done a fair amount. I’ve got my three courses with Pluralsight that I’ve done. That’s pretty much all the screencasting that I’ve done, is through Pluralsight. But I have to say I’ve definitely done a fair amount, several hundred, maybe a thousand with the screencasting.CHUCK: Nice.JAMISON: When you say a thousand hours, do you mean a thousand hours of recorded video or a thousand hours of time put into this?JOE: Yeah, a thousand hours of time actually spent. So I’ve probably produced ten or fifteen hours of recorded video. Probably about that much and five or six hundred hours of time spent producing that much video, right around that.CHUCK: Well there you go. If you’ve read outliers, you know you have nine thousand hours to go, right?JOE: [Chuckles] Yeah. Exactly when I’ll be an expert.CHUCK: That’s right. I’ve done a fair bit of screencasting as well. In fact, I got into podcasting through screencasting and I ran TeachMeToCode.com for a few years. I’m actually looking at reviving it but it’s just some time that I haven’t been able to commit yet. But yeah, it’s definitely a fun and interesting thing to do to share what you know and get the word out about whatever technologies you’re passionate about.

You can learn more about me on the internet by googling for Scott. I’m in an epic battle right now with the Scott toilet paper people. You’ll find me just below Scott toilet tissue. I’ve been blogging for ten years. More than ten years, 13 years. I work at Microsoft right now. Before that I worked in finance at a company called Corillian that is now Fiserv. I’ve been building big systems on the web for as long as the web’s been around.CHUCK: Wow. What do you do at Microsoft?SCOTT: I work in Azure and Web Tools. I’m a program manager. I’m in charge of the experience from file new project until deployment. I call myself the PM of miscellaneous. I spend time going through that experience making sure that it doesn’t suck. My focus is on web tools but also ASP.NET Runtime and what the experience is when you deploy something into Azure. That might be everything from what’s it like editing JavaScript in Visual Studio and I’ll find some issue and go and work with the guys that own that, or it might be someone’s trying to do something in Node on Azure and that experience is not good. I’m like an ombudsman or a customer liaison. But the simplest way would be to say I’m the community PM, community program manager, for web tools at Microsoft.CHUCK: Okay.AARON: Cool.CHUCK: So, is JavaScript your primary focus?SCOTT: I would say that my primary focus is just anything that makes the web better and moves the web forward.
