Marketing Talk about their new product: platformatic.dev
Takeway: I didn’t really takeaway anything from this talk. It was very marketing heavy and, IMO, didn’t provide a lot of value.
Very interesting Talk about Async handling with Suspense and how to think about UIs when loading async data.
Takeway: Suspense is you friend, use it to build your UI in a user friendly manner.
Lot’s of insights about the top 9 Core Web Vitals to monitor as a developer. See https://web.dev/top-cwv-2023/
Takeway: (automatically) monitor your pages/apps for those Core Web Vitals.
Presentation of the Chrome DevTools features
Takeway:
Nice and easily understandable explanation of the basic principles of the Turbopack implementation. Basically: recursion, caching and graph construction/invalidation.
Takeway: building up a graph and using it to prevent multiple code execution might be an interesting approach for perf in some cases.
Explained how the Lighthouse score is calculated (10% FCP, 25% LCP, 30% TBT, 25% CLS, 10% SI). See: https://developer.chrome.com/docs/lighthouse/performance/performance-scoring/
CDNs and Cache Partitioning (aka. loading Google Fonts from Google servers won’t have the cache benefits you thought)
Use <link rel="preload"/> when necessary
Twitter thread: https://twitter.com/iamakulov/status/1664132124675551234?cxt=HHwWhMDR6bbWl5guAAAA
Takeway: monitor your pages/apps for Core Web Vitals (see #3) but don’t optimize prematurely ;)
Presentation of Qwik and the core principle of resumability
Takeway: Qwik achieves high perf by using server side rendering firs and then only loading the minimal required JS for interactivity.
Presentation of Rome: https://rome.tools
Takeway: Rome is very fast but doesn’t seem to be very extensible. Errors are nicely displayed though :D
Dialog, Popups and Modals accessibility problems and how to solve them
Takeway: use the (web) platform instead of building custom components that are not accessible
Presentation of NX
Takeway: look into NX when you have time :)
Very interesting talk of how Jumbo (NL Retailer) manages their component library at scale.
Takeaway: involve the teams early in your decisions and get them to be part of the design system development.
Takeaway: again, use the platform (see #9)
Wes gives an insight into how he’s using AI to power his Syntax.fm podcast and generate side content for the shows. Very insightfull.
Takeway: AI tooling can be very powerful when used correctly. Probably takes a lot of time to get it setup though, so especially good for repetitive tasks.
