For the 20th episode we surprise you with a "in-person" podcast episode!

Alex is joined by Principal Engineer and Vue Core Team Member Natalia Tepluhina to talk about two important topics - Documentation and the Migration from Vue 2 to Vue 3.

Learn in this episode what Natalia does in the core team, how difficult writing docs is and how to improve your doc writing skills. Also, gain insights in how GitLab's migration from Vue 2 to Vue 3 is going and get invaluable tips if you also have to migrate a project over!
