Pete Hunt.PETE:\xa0 Hey guys.CHUCK:\xa0 And Jordan Walke.JORDAN:\xa0 Hi.CHUCK:\xa0 Since you guys haven\u2019t been on the show before, do you want to introduce yourselves? We\u2019ll have Pete go first.PETE:\xa0 Sure. So my name\u2019s Pete. I work on general React stuff these days. But my day job is building the Instagram web experience. If you go to Instagram.com, we have a bunch of frontend stuff you can play with and a bunch of backend infrastructure that supports all that. That\u2019s what I mostly work on. We\u2019re big users of React at Instagram so I ended up contributing a lot to the React core as well.JAMISON:\xa0 So did you come from Instagram or from Facebook and then to work on Instagram?PETE:\xa0 Well it was actually a pretty good story just in terms of the integration of the two companies. I was originally at Facebook for a couple of years and we acquired Instagram and they came in and they wanted to build a web presence. Facebook\u2019s core competency is definitely web technologies and Instagram hasn\u2019t historically focused on that. So we were able to take the Facebook web expertise and get Instagram up and running really quickly. I came from the Facebook side but the team is still very much a separate team, their own building, that kind of thing. So that\u2019s my background.CHUCK:\xa0 Awesome.JAMISON:\xa0 Sweet.CHUCK:\xa0 And Jordan?Special Guests: Jordan Walke and Pete Hunt.
