🎛 TTSC: Politely intruding on the TypeScript Compiler for fun and profit - Jarred Filmer (GH: BrighTide) - 20min:
Deep in the underdark of code Transpilation and Compilation lies the little known art of applying code to your code... what if you could add plugins of your own to the TS compiler to do things like; avoiding repetition and taking things from the type system, parsing comments or adding special linting or validations... Learn about these build effects and be enthralled!

⚛️ Component driven development using atomic design pattern - Komal Krishna Bandi (@komalbandi) - 20min:
Using Angular, React, Vue or other modern frameworks, you are familiar with component driven development. How can we utilise the component approach in the best way to allow for good reuse of front-end code and UI consistency? Here Komal intro's the Atomic design pattern to help better organise your component library for scale.
🧠 Maybe you shouldn't: Why scrutinising the norm is a must - Kory Nunn (@korynunn) - 20min
As we try and stay ahead of all our constantly evolving development scene's, the word "Should" gets thrown around a lot in software.
Kory has been hearing: "You should write your apps like this", "Everything should be unit tested", "Code should have comments"... But why should you? Who says? Maybe you shouldn't. Kory is here to comment on critical thinking as a modern developer.
