Owen introduces Greenwood, a project focused on leveraging web standards and simplifying web development. Throughout the episode,
they explore Greenwood's evolution, capabilities, and unique approach to application scaffolding and local development.

vision to provide an onramp close to web standards.
It's time for the web to have some fun! Together, let's look at how we can take
the Web Components we write for the web and push them all the way to the edge through server rendering,
all while getting more HTML from our JavaScript!
TCO stands for Total Cost of Ownership, and in this talk I specifically call out to the web development community and posit that
developer experience should be seen as a spectrum. Not every project needs the same tools and complex solutions all the time.
My hope in this talk is that we can all come out of it thinking about our relationship with technology and productivity and how we can better balance the user experience.
For anyone who has always had that βlightbulbβ moment but not sure how to realize it, this talk
aims to help everyone realize a way to craft their own workflow and become a stronger advocate

A talk I gave at BrooklynJS highlighting the need to cultivate developer experiences that value training, knowledge transfer, educational
support and professional development to fuel digital transformations and yield better products and stronger technical teams.
Presentation I gave at ProvJS based on my article series for Kenzan that covered modern frontend development with Yarn, webpack and TypeScript.
