“People underestimate the Teamsification of Enterprise: nobody wants to use Microsoft Teams, but more people use Microsoft Teams than Slack because it's just there.” — Wes Bos, Syntax (Wes Bos & Scott Tolinski)

“It's no longer enough to say, how do we use this tech to do what we have done previously? If you're looking at this and be like, this was my job, and now I'm going to do my job faster with this piece of stuff, it's not going to cut it, because anybody's going to be able to do that type of thing.” — Wes Bos, Syntax (Wes Bos & Scott Tolinski)

“And so of course it feels like a slop factory because your lived experience for the most part is that it is a slop factory. And so if somebody comes and says to you, Hey, I have this technique that's going to make the slop factory go even faster. Are you in? You're like, absolutely not.” — Adam Jacob, Syntax (Wes Bos & Scott Tolinski)

“If you're a product person and you have a bunch of engineers who have a trustworthy software factory, they could implement whatever they want to implement. … And so, like, how do product people feel about that? The answer is bad. They feel bad about it because their job is to tell engineers what to do and to be ahead of them. And you can't stay ahead of them because now they can produce outcomes at such a fast rate that you couldn't possibly keep up.” — Adam Jacob, Syntax (Wes Bos & Scott Tolinski)

“A lot of these companies will approach you and say, hey, do you want early access? And we're like, yes, please. Free tokens and early access. I'm all over that. And people are afraid to soil that relationship by actually saying what it really is, because then they don't get access next time. Same thing happens with iPhone as well. There's all these iPhone reviewers that only say good stuff and kiss Apple's butt all day long because they're afraid of getting their access revoked.” — Wes Bos, Syntax (Wes Bos & Scott Tolinski)

“My take on it is that Bun spelled the end of Deno because Deno was the alternative to Node… But it wasn't better enough. Bun came out and Bun's just like, we're fast. We're going to put SQLite in this thing. We're going to start shoving in whatever the heck we want… You got the safe choice, which is Node. You got the crazy choice, which is Bun. And then it's like, okay, I guess I'll pick Deno because it's a little bit better than Node.” — Scott Tolinski, Syntax (Wes Bos & Scott Tolinski)

“I would love to go through the last 12 months of our podcast of being like, yeah, I can write the code, but you still need to review it. Or yeah, you can get help with tab completions, but you still need to review. … The level of cope that we've had over the years. Do you think that after the year we have had that it's going to just stop where it is?” — Wes Bos, Syntax (Wes Bos & Scott Tolinski)

“D3 sucks to use and having a wrapper around it is way better.” — Scott Tolinski, Syntax (Wes Bos & Scott Tolinski)

“Passkeys are awesome. We fumbled it. We fumbled it.” — Wes Bos, Syntax (Wes Bos & Scott Tolinski)
