Hosted by Andrew Lisowski and Justin Bennett, devtools.fm is a conversation with the builders shaping the daily experience of software development. This isn't just a technical rundown of features; it's a deep dive into the philosophy, challenges, and stories behind the tools that power modern code. Each episode connects you directly with the creators and core contributors driving innovation in open source and beyond. You'll hear candid discussions about the creation of front-end frameworks like React, Svelte, or Vue, the evolution of JavaScript and TypeScript runtimes such as Node.js, Deno, and Bun, and the design choices behind emerging languages like Rust and Zig. The dialogue extends into foundational web technologies-WASM, WebGPU, WebGL-and the infrastructure, including databases and deployment tools, that turns ideas into reliable applications. The focus is always on the human element: the problem-solving, the collaboration, and the vision that turns a concept into a crucial piece of a developer's toolkit. Tune into this podcast for an authentic look at the craft of toolmaking, offering both insight for your own projects and a greater appreciation for the ecosystems we build within.
