Frontend Meetup PRG #2 - Offline + Livestreaming

During the pandemic, we moved into new offices, which have already been named Best Startup Office of the Year. We are excited to show you our new event space (in person) as we host another Frontend meetup! 🚀

🔹Please register via Eventbrite: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/frontend-meetup-prg-2-tickets-172787611397?aff=MeetupEvent

We’ll be talking Frontend and have put together an awesome program for you:

🔹 Talk 1) Spinners versus skeletons in the battle of hasting
Speaker: Martin Nuc, Frontend Engineering at Productboard
Description: As apps grow, data fetching gets more and more complex. Our frontend developer Martin Nuc takes a closer look at spinners and skeletons in his talk, where he examines how to identify intermediate states while loading using React Suspense. Learn which method is best when you’re faced with slow load.

🔹 Talk 2) Yarn 2, Yarn 3, PNP, and our migration journey
Speaker: Jakub Zitny, Software Engineer at Deepnote
Description: We decreased Yarn install time in our monorepo from 3 minutes to 20 seconds by upgrading v1 to v2. This was shortly after the v2 release, and the ecosystem was definitely not ready. It took us 2 weeks instead of 2 days, but it was very well worth it. Now Yarn v3 is out, and the migration is much simpler. Or is it? What problems did we encounter on the way, and how did we solve them? How does Yarn PNP work, and why is it so fast? Let’s discuss our journey.
