Listen "Pushing webpack forward"
Episode Synopsis
We sit down with Tobias Koppers of webpack fame to talk about his life as a full-time maintainer of one of the most highly used (4 million+ dependent repos!) and influential tools in all of the web.
Things we ask Tobias include: how he got here, how he pays himself, has he ever gotten a raise, what his typical day is like, how he decides _what_ to work on, if he pays attention to the competition, and if he's ever suffered from burnout.
