In this episode Matt and Mike sit down with Megan Mee to discuss mental health in the workplace. Mental health is extremely important in the workplace as it can affect not only a single employee's productivity and mood, but their entire team as well. We tackle some tough questions on mental health from the perspective of a team member, and a boss - and then discuss "good" vacations' importance in the work-life cycle. Then in the Web News we tackle "solo mental health" for those of us that work as solo freelancers.

In this episode Matt and Mike discuss tutorial hell. There's so much to learn out there that it's easy to fall into a rut, jumping from tutorial to tutorial and never getting into the thick of it. Whilst there's nothing wrong with learning new things, there comes a time where you have to break out from your learning cycle and into a real project. Then later, in the Web News, we discuss Apple's move to their own silicon using ARM.

In this episode Matt and Mike discuss iterative design. No matter what you're designing, or using, it went through some sort of iterations before coming to market. Something as simple as adjusting a font size contributes an iteration and shows a commitment to make a product better. When it comes to web development, if you're not classically trained in design, or UI/UX then iterative design is your best friend - as long as you do your research and pay attention to other modern UI/UX you'll have a great baseline that you can slowly but surely iterate on to eventually make a production-worthy display.
Then in the Web News, the guys discuss their Top 10 JavaScript open source repos for May 2020 including: reveal.js, ws, Fuse.js, and more!

In this episode Matt and Mike discuss why coding might not be for you. Many people will just say that you have to keep trying and not give up, and that's absolutely correct, unless of course you find out that coding might not be your thing. We discuss a few of the reasons why coding might not end up being for you at length. Then later we change gears and discuss many of the issues that all developers face, that may make them eager to quit. After all that, this week's Web News features Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) and how Microsoft is handling them.

In this tidbit, Matt and Mike discuss the recent news that Joe Rogan's JRE (Joe Rogan Experience) podcast will be heading onto Spotify exclusively in just a matter of months. Even though this isn't web dev/design, or small business related - it does affect our medium of podcasting. This also potentially affects the entire structure of podcasting as you used to be able to choose your favourite podcast app and then just listen. Now that we're seeing exclusivity come to light, you may have to have multiple podcast apps just to listen to all your favourite shows. Furthermore, this could affect monetization moving forward as well, where all the podcast apps you have start running premium subscriptions that you will need to subscribe to in order to continue listening. It is important to note that this sort of monetization is not what is happening to JRE, as stated in the announcement the show will remain free on Spotify.

In this episode Matt and Mike discuss something more important than your MVP (Minimum Viable Product), project cornerstones. If a feature of your MVP has no viable substitute, focus on ironing that out first - then move on to the rest. These project cornerstones, if left unattended, can lead to a project's complete failure. Imaging working on the UI, text chat, and overall feel of an app like Snapchat, only to find out that the stack you're using won't allow you to use the camera on iOS devices. Problems like that can easily be overlooked and can just as easily result in hundreds of hours of lost work.
