Front-End in Practice:
Real Talks with Working Developers
Kemkeress hosts candid conversations with engineers who spend their days writing CSS, debugging JavaScript, and shipping interfaces. No hype, no theory overload — just what actually works in a browser.
Recent Episodes
Each episode runs 35–55 minutes. Guests are practitioners — developers, tech leads, and tooling authors — not coaches or influencers.
CSS Architecture at Scale: When Utility Classes Stop Being Enough
Daryna Kovalets joined us to walk through the moment her team's Tailwind setup became a liability. She describes the specific project size and team composition where they hit the wall, and what the migration to a hybrid approach actually looked like over six weeks.
TypeScript Generics Without the Ceremony
Bohdan Szymański explains which generic patterns he reaches for weekly and which ones he's stopped writing entirely. The conversation stays grounded in real component code rather than abstract type theory.
State Management in 2024: What Stayed, What Didn't
Olha Marchetti and Petro Vynohrad compare notes on three years of Redux, then Zustand, then signals. They're honest about which migration was worth the effort and which one they'd skip if starting over.

Ratings collected from verified listeners across podcast platforms. 219 reviews submitted between 2022 and 2024.
"The episode on CSS architecture was the first time a podcast guest described a problem I'd already hit — and gave a concrete answer rather than a framework recommendation. I replayed the last 15 minutes twice and took notes."
"I appreciate that guests disagree with each other across episodes. The state management episode directly contradicts advice from episode 29, and both engineers make a reasonable case. That kind of tension is rare in tech podcasts."
