Michael Hladky joins the adventure to discuss how he's gotten a 60% performance increase using push pipe and related techniques. Many developers can get by without this technology, but Michael explains how to pull the push pipe into your code and what that looks like compared to Zone.js and the default stack in Angular.

Lars Brink joins the adventure to discuss how he tests routed Angular features using the RouterTestingModule. He explains what it is and why it's not as well documented as it could be. The panel then takes him through testing other parts of an application using Spectacular and other tools to make sure that Angular applications behave as expected.

Tarang Khandelwal found himself in the unenviable position where he needed to be able to dynamically choose which component to load dynamically. He did this by passing in a string key that determined the component that would load in its place. However, given that not all components and component signatures are the same, this is more complex than it seems. Tarang explains to Chuck what this entails and why you might need a setup like this in the first place.

Chuck explains what he taught Nathan last week when we asked how to get hired at a FANG (Facebook Apple/Amazon Netflix Google) company. Essentially, it boils down to how to build the skills and knowledge needed to pass the interview. How to build the relationships to get into the door and have the interviewer want you to succeed. And how to build the reputation that has the company wanting you regardless of the outcome.

Andrei Gatej joins the adventure and discusses some less well known features of the Angular Router with Charles Max Wood. They walk through some of the features of nesting routes and how to debug issues when your routes don't bubble up the tree the way you expect. Andrei also explains how redirects and router outlets might not have been what Chuck thought they were.

Freddy Montes joins the adventure to discuss how he and his team manage state in their Angular components. Many development teams instinctively reach for a solution like ngrx when they're building their angular apps and start seeing complex state. However, there's a lot of boilerplate and it's often overkill for small to medium apps. Freddy talks about his journey into managing state for his components using observables and basic state libraries.

Chuck was on a strategic call with one of his potential coaching clients talking about cryptocurrencies and realized that this is one of the major reasons that people want to become influencers. Or, rather, that many people aspire to make a difference and/or make money and the best way to do that is to become the person people go to for what you do.

Have you ever thought how nice it'd be to write your apps for desktop and mobile alongside the web? Richard Sithole joins the adventure to discuss how to pull a desktop app and mobile app into your repo using electron and capacitor to extend the functionality to new platforms.

Charles talks about the things that get developers stuck when they're trying to start their podcast or other influencer channel. He explains how to get around having those things hamper your journey.

Charles Max Wood talks about how to build, grow, and benefit from positive relationships within programming. He talks about how he's built genuine positive relationships with hundreds of programmers and how he and others have grown from those relationships. He also explains that you get out of relationships what you put into them. Finally, he goes into how to begin to build relationships by building a system of influence you can use on behalf of the people you want relationships with.

Armen Vardanyan is an Armenian Angular developer who works extensively with both angular and RXjs. He walks Chuck through the ins and outs of how he uses RXjs to expand the functionality of his Angular applications and how to think about observables in general.

Charles Max Wood discusses several opportunities that came his way early in his podcasting career and other opportunities that have come to other people after only a couple of podcast episodes. He explains why that happens and how you can use this to create more influence as a developer.
