Welcome to syntax. Today, we have the goat. The man who has made web development easier for the entire world, probably kept people in the career before they had RageKit. We have Evan Yu on. He's a creator of view, creator of Vite, which probably everybody listening to this podcast has used many, many times,

and it probably powers many of your businesses. So, stoked to have them on. Welcome, Evan.

Thanks for coming on. Yeah, excited to be here. So real quick, before we get into it,

for the like six people who haven't done it, give us the introduction of who you are and what

you do and kind of your background.

Sure, yeah.

So I had been a independent open source developer for over a decade, like since 2015-16-ish.

Two years ago, I founded a company called Voice Zero,

which is centered with the mission to build open source tool chains for JavaScript.

Yeah, before that, I created View, Veed.

Probably some people use it.

Some people know it.

But yeah, now I'm mostly focusing on voice zero and the feed side of things.

Yeah.

I think that one of the interesting things for me was that you were primarily known as like a framework

author prior to Viet.

Did you see yourself making that change from working on the UI code to tool chain?

Not really.

So I would say a lot of the decisions of like what do I do next? just kind of I never really planned it ahead of time.

Like before I started even doing JavaScript development, I thought I was going to be a designer.

I wanted to be a designer and then after I designed some stuff I was like, I want to actually build it, but I couldn't find anyone to build it for me.

So I had to learn how to build it myself.
