Guests

Paavo Huhtala joined Reaktor at the age of 19. A self-taught hobbyist programmer since middle school, he likes pretty much everything – from writing compilers in Rust to adding that missing 0.5 pixels of left padding to the signups form's submit button.

Juuso Mikkonen has been programming professionally since 2015 but still learns – mostly through mistakes – something new every day. His day-to-day tasks usually involve programming in TypeScript, building web services, remote teamwork and managing time zone differences.

Sam Grönblom is from Finland but relocated to Tokyo a decade ago. He’s partial to pragmatic, statically typed functional languages, and he wishes he could only program in F#.

Host

Esko Lahti is a programmer who loves to have his weekly mind blowing experience caused by a yet another neat TypeScript typing system trick.
