A few years into Preston Sego’s coding career, a colleague working on increasing interactivity on the company’s interface chose Ember for the endeavor. Years later, when Preston began developing his own project, he took his colleague’s advice and began testing the waters with Ember as well.  In 2019, Preston noticed interesting work brewing within Ember. Realizing Ember was adaptable to modern tools, Preston decided to dive back in and start building out a chat app to test the framework. That same year, Preston spoke at EmberConf and eventually landed a job at CrowdStrike where the framework of choice was Ember. In this episode, Preston talks with Chuck and Robbie about comparing Ember to React without angering either side, why he values Ember resources and has worked to create various libraries, what emerging tech Preston’s thrilled to be working on, and what tech Preston’s violently against.  Key Takeaways [01:13] - The origin of Preston’s alias.  [03:13] - A whiskey review - Malahat Rye.
