Dive into this podcast episode with us and meet Eric Simons, the brain behind StackBlitz, the web-based IDE that's flipping the script on coding. Fun fact: He needed an incentive to step outdoors. The lightbulb moment? He created an app and named it 'Outhouse'. Even pitched it to YC. The irony? They spent more time inside coding it. The result? Well, let's just say the name 'Outhouse' became rather fitting. Still, every stumble is a step forward, and Eric embodies that sentiment. His bold venture may not have hit the bullseye but it was a crucial part of Eric's journey that shaped who he is today. Tune in for a blend of laughter, lessons, and The Secret Sauce!
