0:00.0	You're listening to Syntax. The podcast with the tastiest web development treats out there.
0:06.0	Strap yourself in and get ready. Here is Scott Telinsky and West Boss.
0:10.4	Welcome to Syntax. This is the podcast that has the development treats that are the tastiest.
0:17.0	We measured them all, every podcast out there, and we have the tastiest web development treats.
0:22.0	So thank you for tuning in today. We've got a part two of our
0:26.1	tales from web-dev pass people of the last one that we did basically just talking about
0:32.2	tech that was so hot 10, 15 years ago and why we had it and what we had to do and what we have now instead of it and sort of why it got killed off or died or or became
0:44.6	less popular. With me as always is Mr. Scott Tolinsky. How you doing today
0:49.5	Scott? Heyo I'm too good.
0:52.6	Just hanging out trying to record my next course.
0:55.7	I'm re-recording my react beginners course,

1:36.8	Keep a lot of that class stuff in not a lot of it, but enough that you can teach people classes because right I went into an app that was NextJAS and it was
1:46.7	version 2 and I think the most recent version is 8 and I could not for the.0.
1:55.0	2.0.
1:56.0	And I had no idea how to use the thing,
1:58.1	so I had to update the entire thing.
1:59.8	And I was like, oh man, this is probably what people run into all the time where the thing has
2:06.4	been sitting for a year and a half and all of a sudden none of the docs none of the
2:10.5	tutorials cover any of the stuff and you don't really know what these life cycle methods are so that stuff is kind of important especially in real world where stuff's not updated every three minutes.
