This week, Anthony and James look at Anthony’s feature on the proliferation of JavaScript frameworks. They then discuss the CFTC’s announcement this week that it is going to conduct a review of its swaps data reporting rules. Finally, they wrap things up by discussing Donald Trump Jr., and his disclosure of emails linking him to a Russian lawyer. While James is basically a socialist, Anthony is a conservative—and even he is losing his mind about where his country is heading, politically speaking. 

1:00 A quick update on next week’s Waters Rankings announcement, and the Mifid II event in London.
1:45 How the JavaScript feature came about.
3:45 The problem: Too many frameworks and libraries to choose from
8:00 The balancing act of keeping both young and older programmers happy and engaged. 
10:00 Lessons learned for CTOs.
12:25 The CFTC announcement and what it means.
14:00 What the revision process will look like.
15:00 A timeline of what is supposed to come next, though James and Anthony are skeptical.
18:00 A rant on Donald Trump Jr., and the state of political discourse in the United States.
