0:00.0	Welcome to syntax. This is the podcast with the tastiest web development treats out there.
0:16.2	We've got a pot luck. Your favorite today. You submit the questions. Scott and I will
0:22.6	answer them for you. We got lots of really good questions about webpack and dot ENV importing
0:28.4	modules, the HTML spec when to use a menu versus a nav tag. Where do you keep your two factor
0:37.3	recovery codes? So stay tuned if you want to draw us lots of good questions today. We are

1:57.2	such a big setup as you just introduce more points of failure along the way. But I think it was
2:04.4	dirty power at the end of the day. Got to be dirty power. Got to be dirty power. All right. Let's get
2:10.0	on into it. First question is from Russell Williams. Can you explain import.meda? I mostly work
