  • Summary

  • In today's episode, Allen talks to Philipp Tessenow also known as "Tessi", an accomplished developer with a rich background in Ruby on Rails, Elixir Phoenix, and the groundbreaking technology of WebAssembly (WASM). Tessi shares his journey from creating massive PDF files for a client to pioneering the WASM X project, a robust system that integrates WebAssembly with Elixir, enhancing cross-platform capabilities and performance.


    In this episode, they explore the challenges and triumphs of generating PDFs using JavaScript and WebAssembly, the rise of async operations with Rust and Tokyo, and the thriving open-source community supporting these endeavors. They also discuss the practical benefits of Elixir, the importance of having the right developer for the job, and the sometimes political nature of technology adoption in companies. Stay tuned as they unpack the key features and benefits of WebAssembly, Tessi's contributions to the Remote.com global HR platform, and the interplay between WASM, Elixir, and Rust.


    Dive in and discover how Tessi balances her groundbreaking work with family life, the continual evolution of the WebAssembly ecosystem, and the vibrant, collaborative spirit of open-source development.
