Една седмица преди React.NotAConf с Радо обсъдихме някой важни подробности около събитието. Ако се чудите за какво точно ще говорят лекторите или ако все още не сте решили какво да правите на 11 май изслушайте епизода. Ще се радвам да се видим в Interpred WTC.

I'm using Git and GitHub in particular a lot. And when I say a lot I really mean all the time. Recently I tracked a week of work and found that 62% of my working time goes into code reviews. Sometimes I'm checking out a branch locally and trying stuff but really most of my time goes into github.com. I spent some time analyzing why the code review process is so time consuming for me. I identified couple of reasons, made a tool and changed some of my habits. In this article I'll show you how I improved my code review speed and lower the time to 38%.

The hooks API is a wonderful idea. There are some slick patterns involved that push the React development to a more functional approach. I'm interested in trying that new API and decided to use it for my latest project. However, after a couple of days, it looked like I can't build my app only with hooks. I needed something else. And that's mainly because each hook works on a local component level. I can't really transfer state or exchange reducers between the components. That's why I created Jolly Roger. It has similar helpers but works on a global app level.

I had an interesting bug in my React application. It happened that the problem was in the fact that I was using forEach instead of for.

The bug that I was encounter was

Пилотния за сезон 2019 епизод е със Стефан Кънев. Поговорихме си за мениджмънт и лидерство. Приятно слушане.

Ето един малък коледен подарък - епизод номер 19 на NADCAST. Последните няколко месеца съм на вълна продуктивност. С Радо Станков и Минко Гечев си поговорихме за TEA framework. Или казано по друг начин, как да намерим повече време (time), енергия (energy) и фокус (attention). Приятно слушане.

Recently I spent some time working on my own JavaScript playground called Demoit. Something like CodeSandbox, JSBin or Codepen. I already blogged about why I did it but decided to write down some implementation details. Everything happens at runtime in the browser so it is pretty interesting project.

I had some time during the weekend and decided to work on my slides for an event at the end of the month. I reached the part where I have to do a live coding session and I was wondering what tool to use. At the end I created my own called Demoit. This is a short article explaining how it works.

If you use React you probably know about the so called hooks. They were officially announced at this year's ReactConf by Sophie Alpert and Dan Abramov. Their presentation could be seen here. I, same as many others got intrigued by this new feature. A little bit confused by if I like them or not but kind of excited. This article pretty much sums up my thinkings around React hooks and aims to give a balanced opinion.

This episode is with Sara Vieira. She is doing a lot of interesting things with React, GraphQL, Apollo and with JavaScript in general. She's also part of bunch of conferences doing talks and workshops which itself is a big challenge. Happy listening :)
