19:15 Talk 1: AI-Driven Code Migration: How to Migrate 1,000 React Class Components
Speakers: Vladislav Guleaev - Lead Developer CHECK24, Asma Jebari - Software Engineer at CHECK24
Description: What if code migrations didn’t take months? This talk walks through our journey of transforming 1,000 React class components into functional components using an LLM-powered, rerunnable migration pipeline. We present a real-world case study of migrating a legacy React codebase with an LLM-assisted toolchain. You’ll see how per-file transformations, context-aware prompts, architecture, safeguards and the surprising lessons learned along the way.

20:00 Talk 2 Title: DevTools can do that?!
Speaker: Keerthana Krishnan - Senior Software EngineerSenior Software Engineer, 1&1 Mail & Media Applications
Abstract: Chrome DevTools is an essential part of any software developer's toolkit. However it's a very dynamic tool which is always being updated with new features. This will be an intermediate level walkthrough of cool Chrome DevTools features, including the Performance and Recorder panels. We'll take a closer look at some really underrated features to support your debugging journey.
Prerequisites - Basic experience with DevTools and the Core Web Vitals.

20:40 Talk 3 Title: Introduction into knip.dev
Speaker: Betram Vogel - Senior IT Consultant bei codecentric AG | Founder Description: Ever fixed a test, only to realize it's for a feature that's no longer in production? The code still runs in your tests, but in reality, it's not used anywhere else. Your IDE and linters won’t catch it – because technically, it's still "used." That’s where Knip comes into play! Knip is a tool that detects unused code and dependencies in JavaScript and TypeScript projects. Dead code causes confusion, makes refactoring harder, and unused dependencies can still pose security risks. In this talk, I’ll give you a practical walkthrough of how to install, configure, and use Knip effectively. I’ve used Knip in several projects – while the setup is simple at first glance, I kept running into similar problems. I’ll show you how to avoid them and share my proven best practices. After this talk you will be able to enjoy that warm, fuzzy satisfaction of a clean codebase too.

!Important update!
To cultivate a respectful signup ratio for ordering food/drinks and arranging the seats according to the max.capacity of the venue, and a massive increase in the pricing model of the Meetup platform since June 2024 (here is more info, Standard: 174$/yearly or Pro: 282$/6 months). So I added a 1€ fee for each person who is willing to support FrontMuc efforts.

But If you can't support FrontMuc - it's not a problem, register at lu.ma page.

Reserve a spot! Seats are limited to 100 attendees!
