Code Youngstown is excited to invite you to our 5th annual Lightning Tech Talks event!

Talks:
- Mitch Jacovetty, Full-stack Developer @ Enbasis Inc.
"Code as Continent vs. Code as Island Chain: Two Competing Ways to Architect Your Application"
Description: I've noticed that some people prefer organizing their code into units that are homogenous in terms of their technical goals, and some people prefer breaking their code up according to the user needs that each unit is addressing, and I suspect that everything from microservices to serverless architectures to where you put the helper functions in a 500 LoC app can be analyzed and critiqued through this lens.
