Rethinking the Front-End: The Svelte Way
by Josip Ante Cindrić

Front-end frameworks have long been built on complex abstractions, heavy runtimes, and reactive compromises. Svelte 5 challenges all of that.
This talk dives into how Svelte 5 reimagines the front-end development, from its new reactivity model with runes to its compile-time optimizations that make frameworks feel invisible again. Through live demos and practical examples, we’ll see how Svelte 5 reshapes the way we think about building modern web apps.

Nicking the JS interview
by Josip Igrec

Ever had an interview question leave you smiling and nodding on the outside while screaming on the inside? Maybe you even answered it in a vague way and moved on without really knowing what you said. In this talk we'll go over some sneakier JS puzzles that pop up in interviews, and show clean, practical ways to tackle them. Even if you don't plan on doing the recruitment tango, the patterns you learn here will make your everyday code stronger - and might even earn you a bit of street cred with your teammates!

See you at DECODE!
