πŸŽ™οΈ Software Engineers Podcast πŸŽ™οΈ Episode 6 with Mathias Buus

For this episode of the Software Engineers Podcast, I invited Mathias Buus. Mathias is a software engineer based in Denmark and currently the lead of the Hypercore Protocol. He defines himself as an NodeJS and P2P enthusiast.

He was an early adopter of NodeJS and since then he published and maintain himself almost 1,000 packages on npm. After discussing his background, I questioned Mathias on his different contributions like Dazaar, Beaker Browser, and the Hypercore Protocol.

Maybe you wonder what is the Hypercore Protocol?

Hypercore Protocol is a peer-to-peer data network built on the Hypercore logs. Hypercores are signed, append-only logs. They're like lightweight blockchains without the consensus algorithm. As with BitTorrent, as more people "seed" a dataset, it will increase the available bandwidth. More details on https://hypercore-protocol.org/.
