Ankit is a senior manager at Amazon inside the advertising org and we had a really interesting, focused conversation about the early days of Node.js at Amazon and Ankit's role in promoting both Javascript and Node. Along the way we also cover a lot of lessons about how developers really make decisions, the work that has to be done be an effective manager, building a community around a technology, and common mistakes we've seen in enterprise front-end codebases. If none of that sounds compelling to you, you're about to listen to the wrong podcast.
