  • All right, welcome back.

  • I'm Jared and you are listening to The Change Log, where each week we interview the hackers,

  • the leaders, and the innovators of the software world to pick their brains,

  • to learn from their failures, to get inspired by their accomplishments,

  • and to have a lot of fun along the way.

  • On this episode, I'm joined by Carson Gross, who calls himself the CEO of HTMX,

  • which you shouldn't take seriously because Carson doesn't.

  • HTMX is a small, zero-dependency JavaScript library that he says completes HTML as a hypertext.

  • Carson built it because he's big on hypermedia.

  • You might even say he's hyped about hypermedia, if you're a nerd like me.

  • He's so hyped, he even wrote a book called Hypermedia Systems.

  • Carson has a lot of strong opinions, weekly held, that we dive into in this conversation.

  • It's a ride.

  • I think you'll enjoy it.

  • But first, a big thank you to our partners at Fly.io,

  • the public cloud built for developers who love to ship.

  • We love Fly.

  • You might, too.

  • Learn more about it at Fly.io.

  • Okay, Carson Gross on the changelog.
