      Had an awesome chat with @joshcirre.com about theater, #EpicWebConf, LDD (Learning Driven Development), and audio/video gear. Stay tuned for this conversation! www.epicweb.dev/conf
      Kent C. Dodds, wearing a black shirt, smiles confidently during a video call on Riverside. He is on the left side of the screen with a bright and professional background featuring a neon logo. On the right side, Josh Cirre, wearing a “write beautiful code” t-shirt, glasses, and a cap, smiles warmly while speaking into a red microphone, set against a clean red-toned background.
