🏆 Featured talks of the week

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

1. "Creating Future-Proof Spring Applications with Event Sourcing by Steve Pember @ Spring I/O 2024" ⸱ +2k views ⸱ 06 Jun 2024 ⸱ 00h 54m 39s

   Based on over eight years of experience with building ES systems in Spring applications, we will demonstrate the basics of Event Sourcing and some of the common patterns. We will see how simple it can be to model events with available tools like Spring Data JPA, JOOQ, and the integration between Spring and Axon. We’ll walk through sample code in an application that demonstrates many of these techniques. However, it’s also not strictly about the code; we’ll see how a process called Event Modeling can be a powerful design tool to align Subject Matter Experts, Product, and Engineering. Attendees will leave with an understanding of the basic Event Sourcing patterns, and hopefully a desire to start creating their own Journals.

2. "Growth in a downturn | Smruti Patel | LeadDev Berlin 2023" ⸱ <100 views ⸱ 09 Jun 2024 ⸱ 00h 31m 03s

   It has been a rough year for tech, and especially our leaders - our Staff+ ICs and our engineering managers. We are reeling from the after-effects of rapid growth and zero-interest-rates, and have been forced into survival mode. If hyper-growth is marked by spending more to make more, what does building for enduring growth look like? What are key pivots and strategies needed to effectively navigate such different times?

3. "Are Signals worth the hype? - Atila Fassina | JSHeroes 2024" ⸱ <100 views ⸱ 12 Jun 2024 ⸱ 00h 29m 50s

   Signals are all the rage nowadays. A lot has been said about the performance benefits, but that’s not all it is. Let’s talk about how signals provide a better mental model to render user interfaces, and how they make developing apps more predictable and, likely, error-free.

4. "Building hacking tools in JavaScript - Charlie Gerard | JSHeroes 2024" ⸱ <100 views ⸱ 12 Jun 2024 ⸱ 00h 29m 33s

   If we follow Atwood’s Law, “Any application that can be written in JavaScript, will eventually be written in JavaScript”. As I started studying cybersecurity in my personal time, I noticed that the tools available to hackers are usually coded in C, C++ or Python but, as a front-end developer, I started wondering… Wouldn’t it be cool to rebuild some of these tools in JavaScript instead?! In this talk, I will show how I rebuilt a famous tool to hack wireless devices using only Web APIs so you can hack doorbells, garage doors and more right from the browser!

5. "Type-Safe Style Systems: The Future of CSS - Josh Goldberg | JSHeroes 2024" ⸱ <100 views ⸱ 12 Jun 2024 ⸱ 00h 29m 53s

   Most CSS developers today write visual styles in terms of what you literally see: exact color values, size numbers, and so on. But what if you could write styles as a function of how they fit into your design system? And what if you could get type safety in specifying and using those values, including in responsive props? This talk will dive into some of the key features and flaws in many design system builders today such as Chakra UI and Tailwind. We’ll establish what the best next steps for design systems should be with type-safe TypeScript APIs and performance both for prebuilt pages and at runtime. The Vanilla Extract and Rainbow Sprinkles projects together are a great way to try this out now, and I’m hopeful for more efforts.
