Refactoring can lead to absolutely beautiful code. Not only this, but the refactoring itself can be a thing of beauty. This talk demonstrates taking an example with a double-digit number of lines of code down to a single-digit number of lines of code. This talk will show how to identify certain anti-patterns that can be replaced with more expressive and declarative code. This is a simple talk that can be understood by all, but when applied to one’s daily work can make a significant difference. SPEAKER:

When efficiency increases, consumption drops, right? Errr… No.. So far, increased efficiency has mostly lead to increased consumption. This is called Jevons Paradox, discovered by William Stanley Jevons in 1865. He was concerned that improved steam engines would make England run out of coal faster! 📚Sources

Use React? Use GraphQL? Love Hooks? Graphql-hooks is a new GraphQL client for React with a hooks-first API. It’s super fast and weighs only 1.9kB gzipped. The motivation behind graphql-hooks was a barebones GraphQL Client, focused on speed and lightweight. Both Apollo and Relay have pioneered how to use GraphQL on the client. However, over the years they’ve grown in size and complexity. This has increased the barrier to entry for new developers excited to try out GraphQL. In this workshop, David and Matteo will be demonstrating how quick and simple it is to get up and running with the graphql-hooks client and fastify-gql GraphQL server library to produce an easily maintainable and high performance fullstack GraphQL implementation.
