ep9: GatsbyConf After-Talk With Stew West - Amazee Labs

Hey Anonymous.fm listeners!

Great news 📣

My sweet second interview episode is ... with Stew West from Amazee Labs 🎉!

Stew and I had a chance to give our talks in GatsbyConf 2021 this month.

I watched his talk live.

His Blue Value project had a super cool blazing fast search feature powered by Gatsby.js, GraphQL, and Google Sheets.

I had to ask him what's the secret spice kicks in the trick behind the scene 😎

Gems(Gatsby plugins) are below 💎



You'll find he's very talented at surfing, playing guitars(elec & acoustic), singing, and Kung Fu.

Also, the tasty mystery of the Gatsby in South Africa...🤤



In this episode, you'll hear me asking Stew 8 things.

1. How did you come across to discover your talents in music, surfing and martial arts?

2. I also do Japanese martial arts, Aikido. Does Kung Fu have games to fight?

3. How long are you working as a developer? And how did you start your job in Amazee Labs?

4. What is it like a day, a work routine of a senior developer and team lead?

5. How did you find the chance to speak in GatsbyConf?

6. In your presentation, I really liked the part of the Gatsby in South Africa. Looks tasty! Which flavor is your favorite?

7. In your super fast search in the Blue Value project, did you try out both Gatsby plugins, gatsby-source-google-sheets & gatsby-source-google-spreadsheet? What was the difference?

8. I saw other plugins or packages like React-Select, rc-pagination, Formik, and Google captcha plugin. How do you maintain several plugins?
