Changing Your App Without Changing Code With XState
You know what's better than shipping features with awesome code? Shipping features without any code at all! In this talk we're going to see how it's possible to use code to set things up so that you can change your app's logic and behavior without writing code. We'll do this with XState, a library for modeling State Machines with Javascript. We'll cover how to model your app as a pure state machine, and how it integrates with the UI. We'll demonstrate this with an example app that will order lunch for me and my team by having my bot assistant "talk" to the real person picking up calls at our favorite restaurant.

Why Choose Code or No-Code When You Can Have Both?
No-code has revolutionized many products by allowing non developers to easily build out logic that was previously locked behind the gates of coding. It has also brought great benefits to developers by simplifying execution and speeding up time to value. But for all its benefits no-code is limited by design and sometimes what you really need in the middle of all of your no-code is just... well you know... some code.

In this talk we'll explore the journey we've had in Torq, building a no-code automation tool that can actually run code as well, and do low code and stuff. We'll go over some of the real world customer use cases that caused us to change our minds multiple times and adopt what we can only call as "all-code".
