Hi. We will present an experimental IDE for navigating the ECMAScript specification document. The IDE provides a custom pseudocode notation that matches the look-and-feel of the ECMA-262 spec, and supports the usual features (outline view, go to definition, find usages, diff). We'll also demo functionality for advanced navigation and comprehension of pseudocode, such as pattern-based code search within the spec's algorithms, and local refactoring/modifying/annotating the spec for learning purposes.

Depression, dark thoughts, anxiety – These are some of the words that most of us would like to add to our ignore file. Discussing mental health is still taboo in our society, and it’s even more so in the developer ecosystem, where we pride ourselves on working long hours and our lack of sleep.

More than ever, we need to talk about mental health! This is why I want to share my experience with depression, general anxiety, ADHD, and experience volunteering at a suicide prevention hotline. Along with my thoughts on how we can improve the situation, I’ll be sharing some tips to help people be more open about these topics and issues – more importantly, I want to touch on how those struggling can ask for help and assistance when needed.

An opinion and methodologies on how to modernize an outdated and unmaintained codebase while at the same time delivering features. We will also explore how AI can support modernizing a legacy codebase.

In this interactive session we will:

• Go through requirements we had for Breadcrumbs in our web apps at Ahold Delhaize.
• Build a generic breadcrumbs component in the layout.tsx mechanism of Next.js so they are automatically added to all your pages.
• Decide what to put in server components, what to put in client components and demonstrate the problems you get when making wrong choices.
• Build a mechanism that lets a page override the generic breadcrumbs.
• Test your knowledge on React during the session with mentimeter questions.

The JavaScript ecosystem is longing for a standardized tooling. No more plumbing work, no more choice fatigue and no more analysis paralysis. But how would such a tool look like? Together, we have a look at the newly released Vite+ Alpha and see if the new open source CLI can hold up to its promises, covering developer's tooling needs and let them focus on shipping, especially in an agentic age.

Learn how we took our server-driven UI platform to the next level by utilizing cutting-edge developments in the React and React Native ecosystem.
