CodeSandbox was founded in 2017 and provides cloud-based development environments along with other features.

It's quickly become one of the most prominent cloud development platforms.

Eves Van Horn is a co-founder at CodeSandbox.

He joins the show to talk about the platform.

This episode is hosted by Josh Goldberg, an independent full-time open source developer.

Josh works on projects in the TypeScript ecosystem, most notably TypeScript ES Slint, the tooling that enables

ES Slint and prettier to run on TypeScript code. Josh is also the author of the O'Reilly Learning

TypeScript book, a Microsoft MVP for developer technologies, and a live code

streamer on Twitch.

Find Josh on Blue Sky, Mastodon, Twitter, Twitch, YouTube, How's it going? It's going great. Thanks for having me.

Well, thanks for coming on. We're really excited to have you. I personally used your product quite a lot from job interview sandboxes to demos. Could you give us a brief introduction to what is code sandbox?

Yeah. So code sandbox simply said is an online development environment. You can start a new

web development project on code sandbox and you can completely work in your browser.

I tend to compare it with Google Docs and Microsoft Word where if you're writing a document in

Microsoft Word and you write something on your computer, but if you want to share it, that becomes

harder and so people have been using Google Docs more where they can just share a link to a website

where they write together in an environment. And we wanted to build the same thing with CodeSandbox.

Fantastic. Before we dive into that and the future of code sharing, I want to dial back a little bit

and talk about you as a developer, as a person. How did you first get into programming?

So that's a long, long time ago.

I initially started with coding, not because I wanted to learn coding, but because of, I had a need.

I think I was about 10 years old or 11.
