| Write Queries, Not Code | Peggy Rayzis | 29m |
Argues that GraphQL plus Apollo replaces much Redux boilerplate and configuration fatigue, claims Apollo Client ships caching, optimistic UI and declarative… | ||
| The Complete Yarn Workflow | Kaylie Alexa Kwon | 22m |

Argues that front-end test suites can outpace back-end ones by showing concrete tools and outcomes: a live cowboy horoscope demo built with React and Redux… | ||
| Make Linting Great Again | Andrey Okonechnikov | 19m |
Claim: linters cut stupid bugs and review time but often slow workflows so the talk presents concrete fixes — run checks only on staged files, auto-fix before… | ||
| An agnostic components design system for React | Javi Velasco | 31m |
Claims an agnostic component system that separates behavior from style, built around react-toolbox and a new core package; shows a working datepicker reused on… | ||

A personal account claims panic disorder produces physical symptoms and requires medication to shrink overactive fear circuits, not just willpower; five years… | ||
| Extending Redux in the Server Side | Nacho Martin | 40m |
Extends the Redux pattern onto the server by treating server state as part of the store and wiring events over WebSockets/Socket.IO into actions and reducers… | ||
| What’s Inside TurboFan? | Benedikt Meurer | 36m |
TurboFan is presented as a unified compiler pipeline for JavaScript that introduces a new intermediate representation and backend to enable aggressive inlining… | ||
| Go Home (or Skiing) Early: The Joy of Transparent Reactivity | Michel Weststrate | 28m |
Describes transparent reactivity as a programming model where derived views update automatically to avoid side‑effect bugs and enforce a predictable… | ||
| void* is the new var | Emil Sjölander | 32m |
Yoga compiles to WebAssembly via Emscripten (emcc) so the C/C++ flexbox engine runs inside the browser; demos show calling C from JavaScript, calling… | ||
| React state management in a GraphQL era | Kitze Ristovski | 30m |
Claims that GraphQL pushes most server data problems to the client and makes global state libraries unnecessary in many cases, with concrete stacks: Apollo +… | ||
| Lightning Fast React Apps | Sia Karamalegos | 26m |
Covers concrete fixes: ensure production React build (use create-react-app or set NODE_ENV), avoid mutating state, give stable keys, bind handlers once, and… | ||
