CHUCK:  Jamison Dance. JAMISON:  Hey friends. CHUCK:  AJ O’Neal. AJ:  It'sa mia, it'sa AJ. CHUCK:  I’m Charles Max Wood from DevChat.TV. And before I introduce our guest, I just want to make a quick announcement. Tomorrow as we’re recording this, so when you get this episode it will be last Friday, is my Freedom Day. It’s the day I got laid off from my last full-time job and went freelance. So in honor of that, I’m putting together a video. I’ve called it ‘Going Rogue’. Yes, I know that there’s a political thing around that, whatever. Anyway, I called it ‘Going Rogue’. You can get it at GoingRogueVideo.com. It’s basically the first year of me going freelance. I’ve just talked through how it all went. The mistakes I made, the things I learned, the things I did right, and just gave general advice to anyone who’s looking to go freelance. Or if you’re interested in some of the challenges that come with that, it’s a video that I’m putting together to kind of explain that. Like I said, it’s free. You can get it at GoingRogueVideo.com. Yeah, I’m pretty excited about it. I’m also excited about Freedom Day. Anyway, we also have a special guest today, and that’s Alex MacCaw. ALEX:  How do you do? Thank you for having me. CHUCK:  You’ve been on the show before, but it’s been almost a year. Do you want to introduce yourself again? ALEX:  Well, I’m mostly a JavaScript programmer.
