Title: GitHub Actions and workflows
Abstract: Lars introduces GitHub Actions and GitHub action workflows and answers the following questions. What can GitHub workflows automate? What can trigger GitHub action workflows?

Why and why not should we write automated tests for our front-end in the first place?

Title: By the same Token - consistent design in code through Design Tokens
Abstract: In this talk Jakob will take you on the journey that design tokens travel from designer to developer within the framework of a design system. We'll start by covering the basics of Design Systems but quickly turn the spotlight on Design Tokens: What are Design Tokens? How to define and structure tokens? Creating a themable design system through a multi-tiered variable system. Storing and distributing tokens - and how to automate it.
