AGENDA:

A Decade: React’s Rhapsody of Life (EN)
Matheus Albuquerque | Sr. Software Engineer, Front-End @Medallia

Abstract:
Join me in celebrating the decade-long journey of React—a framework that has revolutionized front-end development.
Despite all the initial skepticism around aspects like JSX, it became one of our favorite tools. We'll explore this and other "trouble in paradise” moments!
Looking ahead, we'll discuss ongoing efforts like the Activity component, optimistic state updates, and more advanced stuff, like the optimization compiler and the recent improvements to React Native's JS engine.
Let's embrace a decade of React and the endless possibilities it holds!

Pixel Perfect: How to Safeguard Visuals Automagically (EN)
Patrik Dvořáček | Full-stack Developer @CookieLab

Abstract:
While automation has taken over most of our pipeline with all kinds of tests and automatic updates, visual regression remains a boogieman. "Will this update of Tailwind silently break something or not?" This talk will demonstrate an example of automated visual regression testing using Cypress and Docker, so our designers can sleep peacefully.
