Empowering local development with Roopak Venkatakrishnan
Show Notes

Roopak Venkatakrishnan is a Staff Software Engineer at Bolt (Previously Google, Twitter, atSpoke) and a DevTools aficionado. He is building Swissknife on the side, making "big company tooling" available to all. 

Join us for a conversation about why local development is so important, why ~80% ability to test locally is the right ratio, and the startups trying to give you a plug-and-play local development environment (Porter and Blimp). 

We then discuss what is coming next for DevTools, especially platformizing local developer setup so it’s even more simple to get started.
