Alex is accompanied by the wonderful CJ Reynolds in this episode of DejaVue. The Senior Creator at Syntax.fm brings not only Vue experience but also a history of Angular JS and React, as well as various other technologies.

The two content creators talk about how CJ became a senior creator at the well-known Syntax.fm podcast and how it is different from Streaming on Twitch and his previous content creation processes. Further, CJ gives insights on how the Denver Vue meetup evolved (now the DenverScript meetup) and shares some hopes when it comes to the meetup scene.

Alex and CJ then discuss more technical topics - for example why CJ never fully switched over to Vue but still writes it a lot. The discussion eventually goes into comparisons between Vue and React, highlighting what Vue does "better" than React and how the Vue ecosystem shapes the web development work.

Enjoy the episode!
