| How to Think | André Staltz | 26m |
Argues that thinking is a learnable skill and demonstrates concrete techniques: use pen and paper to externalize mind maps, treat the debugger as investigation… | ||
| Backpressure? Resistance is not futile. | Jay Phelps | 28m |
Backpressure--resistance opposing the desired flow of data through software--from massive scale, to death by a thousand cuts, it's something nearly every… | ||
| The web in hyper speed: Boosting performance with memoization | Isabella Silveira de Souza | 30m |
Claim: memoization cuts repeated pure-function work dramatically — a demo goes from ~2.2ms to ~0.17ms (about 95% speedup) and a generic wrapper version runs… | ||
| RxJS Recipes | Dominic Elm, Kwinten Pisman | 36m |
Builds a small Angular jokes app and demonstrates concrete RxJS solutions: polls every 5s with timer + exhaustMap + shareReplay to cache and restart, shows… | ||
| Reactive State Machines and Statecharts | David Khourshid | 21m |
Argues that state machines and statecharts make application behavior explicit, claiming they eliminate entire classes of bugs, generate integration tests… | ||
| The universe in a single arrow | Anjana Vakil | 48m |
Claims that a single anonymous JS arrow function suffices to encode the entire computable universe and then shows it concretely by live coding. Implements… | ||
| How we make Web Apps lightning fast at Microsoft! | Sean Thomas Larkin | 41m |
