05:47 - Hypothetically, what would a LinkedIn recruiter need to say to pull you away from your current development work, and possibly even the podcast?

10:04 - Do you still do most of your work yourself, or do you outsource some parts of it? (work can be anything related to your business, not just making the courses)

17:50 - What do you think about Clubhouse? Are you guys planning to talk over there some time?

24:18 - Vue or React? Which do you think will be the top? And should developers learn both?
