Ankit is a senior manager at Amazon inside the advertising org and we had a really interesting, focused conversation aboutthe early days of Node.js at Amazon and Ankit's role in promoting both Javascript and Node. Along the way we also covera lot of lessons about how developers really make decisions, the work that has to be done be an effective manager, building a community around a technology,and common mistakes we've seen in enterprise front-end codebases. If none of that sounds compelling toyou, you're about to listen to the *wrong* podcast.
