Señors @ Scale host Neciu Dan sits down with Anamari Fisher — engineering leader, coach, and O'Reilly author of 'Leveling Up as a Tech Lead' — to explore the first jump into leadership. Anamari shares how she went from software engineer to tech lead and product director, why accountability is the key differentiator from senior engineer, and how to scale your impact through soft skills that actually work in real teams.
Señors @ Scale host Neciu Dan sits down with Florian Rappl — author of 'The Art of Micro Frontends,' creator of the Piral framework, and Microsoft MVP — to explore how micro frontends are transforming how we build scalable web applications. Florian shares hard-won lessons from over a decade of building distributed systems, from smart home platforms to enterprise portals for some of Germany's largest companies.
Señors @ Scale host Neciu Dan sits down with Daniel Roe, leader of the Nuxt Core team at Vercel, for an in-depth conversation about building and scaling with Nuxt, Vue's most powerful meta-framework. Daniel shares his journey from the Laravel world into Vue and Nuxt, revealing how he went from being a user to becoming the lead maintainer of one of the most important frameworks in the JavaScript ecosystem.
Señors @ Scale host Neciu Dan sits down with Daishi Kato, the author and maintainer of Zustand, Jotai, and Valtio — three of the most widely used state management libraries in modern React. Daishi has been building modern open source tools for nearly a decade, balancing simplicity with scalability. We dive deep into the philosophy behind each library, how they differ from Redux and MobX, the evolution of the atom concept, and Daishi's latest project: Waku, a framework built around React Server Components.
Señors @ Scale host Neciu Dan sits down with Vlad Khononov, software architect, keynote speaker, and author of Learning Domain-Driven Design and Balancing Coupling in Software Design. Vlad has spent over two decades helping teams untangle legacy systems, rebuild failing architectures, and bring clarity to messy business domains. This conversation cuts through the hype around DDD and microservices, focusing on the mechanics of bounded contexts, coupling, business alignment, and architectural evolution.
Seniors @ Scale host Neciu Dan is joined by Bramus Van Damme, Chrome Developer Relations Engineer at Google. As a leading voice in CSS and Web UI, Bramus dives into the future of the web, breaking down the mechanics, performance, and cross-browser status of transformative new features like View Transitions, Scroll-Driven Animations, Anchor Positioning, and Custom CSS Functions. He offers a rare look into the inner workings of Chrome DevRel, the standardization process through the CSS Working Group, and how the multi-browser 'Interop' effort is accelerating web development.
Señors @ Scale host Neciu Dan sits down with Liran Tal, Director of Developer Advocacy at Snyk and GitHub Star, to unpack NPM malware, maintainer compromise, MCP attacks, toxic flows, and why AI-generated code is statistically insecure without the right guardrails. Liran shares real incidents from the Node and open source ecosystem, how Snyk and tools like NPQ help developers build safer workflows, and why security at scale starts with developers, not firewalls.
Señors @ Scale host Neciu Dan sits down with Luca Mezzalira, Principal Serverless Specialist at AWS and author of *Building Micro-Frontends*, to unpack how he helped scale DAZN’s frontend from 2 developers to 500 engineers across 40 devices. Luca shares the origin of micro-frontends, how to build stable application shells, implement zero global state, use guardrails for bundle budgets, and manage migrations at scale through edge routing and team autonomy.
AI is writing more code than ever before (if not all of it). But our most important job as developers hasn’t gone away—it’s simply changed. We spend less time typing code and more time reading, reviewing, and making sure everything works as it should. Here are some quick guidelines and git commands to help you
