This week, we have a special guest, that’s Nicholas Zakas. NICHOLAS:  Yup, you got it. CHUCK:  So, since you haven’t been on the show before, do you want to introduce yourself? NICHOLAS:  Sure. I'm a software engineer that is working for Box currently. I think a lot of people probably know me from the books that I've written, mostly on the topic of JavaScript and the talks that I've given also on that topic. And a lot of that relates back to my work when I was at Yahoo. I was there for about five years and was the lead on the Yahoo homepage redesign. And a lot of what I do is really just try to solve problems in real life and then share what I did with everybody else in whatever way I think is most appropriate - writing or speaking or coming on podcasts. CHUCK:  Yes, you're being modest. You have a book,
