In this episode of 'Whiskey Web and Whatnot,' hosts RobbieTheWagner and Charles William Carpenter III welcome Joel Griffith, founder and CEO of Browserless.io. The trio initially clarifies the common confusion between whiskey and bourbon, setting the tone for a detailed discussion. Joel shares his unique journey from a jazz trumpet player to a software engineer, and eventually to the CEO of a company dedicated to streamlining the usage of headless browsers for various applications, including web scraping, automation, and testing.
Additionally, the episode ventures into a vibrant discussion on gaming, with a focus on 'The Legend of Zelda' series, comparing the immersive experiences of 'Ocarina of Time' and 'Breath of the Wild.' The conversation also touches upon issues like the technicalities of deploying WordPress on Vercel, reflections on nostalgia-driven gaming, and candid insights into potential alternative careers away from tech.
This episode offers a blend of information, personal anecdotes, and opinions, driven by a shared passion for technology, gaming, and, of course, whiskey.
