WebAssembly is live, it's in your browser, and it's poised to completely transform how we build, run, and think about software. The promise of "write-once-deploy-anywhere" isn't now, but this fresh take comes with 20+ years of experience and boasts capabilities unimaginable just a few years ago.
Brian Sletten gives us the lowdown of what webassembly is, why it's important, as well a just a glimpse of how it's about to change everything.
To quote Brian: "Pay attention, Everything is changing!"

It seems like every time we solve one problem, it opens the door to a more complex problem. Tools like docker and Kubernetes have solved many problems, but at the cost of increased complexity and increased developer stress. To quote Mark Richards: "It used to take me four months to build, not it just takes four months to configure."
Tour regular Jon Johnson weighs in about these problems, what's new in the community, and how open source tools are addressing that complexity, increasing developer productivity and decreasing developer stress.
