🏆 Featured talks of the week

Here are the must-watch talks uploaded since the last issue:

1. "Devoxx Greece 2024 - Java Language Update -- a look at where the language is going by Brian Goetz" ⸱ +3k views ⸱ 04 May 2024 ⸱ 00h 37m 08s

   If you’re into Java, then you probably know the speaker and the title is pretty self-explanatory. I must say I like that Java finally introduces battle-tested concepts long-time present in other languages. Algebraic Data Types enabled by sealed classes and records along with record patterns (new addition in Java 22) are a powerful tool for domain modeling as shown in this talk and also by

   Oskar Dudycz
   in this article. Btw. I recommend Oskar’s Substack, too.

2. "Devoxx Greece 2024 - Taming Distributed Systems: Key Insights from Wix's Large-Scale Experience" ⸱ +1k views ⸱ 04 May 2024 ⸱ 00h 41m 30s

   Very interesting story of how Wix decided to make a contrarian move, as some may say, and migrate away from Event Sourcing + CQRS to CRUD services. On a related note, Natan is a fantastic speaker and I can recommend his previous talks about caching, microservices and Kafka.

3. "Sam Selikoff - Incomplete React - React Miami 2024" ⸱ +100 views ⸱ 04 May 2024 ⸱ 00h 28m 58s

   A nice talk about React’s newest additions: server components and server actions that allow for component composability that spans the network boundary.

4. "Better Code Reviews FTW! - Tess Ferrandez-Norlander - NDC London 2024" ⸱ +4k views ⸱ 02 May 2024 ⸱ 01h 00m 41s

   This talk shares some really good hints about performing good code reviews and includes patterns/anti-patterns like avoiding buddy review, the code quality pyramid, dealing with repeating patterns etc.
