Front-End Craftsmanship with Lonni Ingram

If you’ve visited Reddit with a web browser in the past few months, then you likely landed on our new front-end experience, internally named Shreddit. This new implementation took years to finish and the effort of many engineers, but the end result is a faster and cleaner experience that is easier than ever to use. One of the engineers who works on that project, Lonni Ingram, joins the podcast in this episode. She’s worked on several different aspects of Reddit’s web Front-end, from the text editor to the post composer, in her role as a Staff Front-End Engineer. In this discussion she shares more about how front-end development works at reddit, some of the toughest bugs she’s encountered, and what she’s excited about on the web.
