Our guests today are two superbly experienced front end engineers, and with several books, and many, many talks between them. We have Rebecca Murphey, senior technical lead at Indeed.com, and Ben Vinegar, VP of engineering at Century. The technical project manager role was actually pretty new. Worked there.
