In this episode, Alex is joined by fellow Nuxt core team member Lucie Haberer, who is not only a DX Engineer at Prismic, doing open source but also public speaking.

Together they talk about Lucie's recent free Nuxt and Nuxt UI course and how she got into Vue and Nuxt. Lucie explains further why she fell in love with Nuxt modules and which modules she built so far - with some enlightening surprise there!

In addition, they talk about how Open Source works at Prismic - from when they do open source over to sponsoring projects and contributing - and many more insights.

This DejaVue episode is a world premiere, with having two guests on the episode for the first time! And not only that, the topics are exciting too. Michael and Alex are joined by Dan and Zoey, both working at SIDESTREAM, an agency using Vue and Nuxt to realize projects.

But besides the project business, they also have Sidebase, a non-profit "spin-off" responsible for open-source Nuxt modules like @sidebase/nuxt-auth which some of you might know already!

Listen to the discussion around how doing Open Source benefits SIDESTREAM, how the Vue job market and hiring works, why Vue and Nuxt were chosen first of all and all around Nuxt Auth and further modules. Enjoy the episode!

It was teased in the last episode already and here it - Michael and Alex talk about the current hype in the front end development community: Signals. But if you as a Vue developer don't feel hyped around it and maybe even didn't hear much around it, fear no more - that is normal and will be explained in the episode too.

Join the two Vue experts covering the history of Signals, what's behind the term and how they work in Vue.js and other major frameworks.
And of course, the TC39 proposal to add Signals to the language itself wasn't forgotten either.

Enjoy the episode!

Join Alex and Michael on a talk about a key topic in Vue.js - the reactivity system. Before diving into how it works in Vue 3, reactivity in Vanilla JS is covered. Then, the differences between the major Vue versions are discussed, showing an astonishing evolution in terms of DX but also performance when it comes to reactivity.
Of course, the ref vs reactive topic can’t be left out, and neither can signals and vapor mode.
Sounds interesting? Then tune in!
