I was in Amsterdam last week to attend the the biggest javascript and react conferences worldwide: JSNation and React Summit.
I went there as the official representative of the Effect Community ✈️
I am flying to Amsterdam for @thejsnation ✈️ Going as the official representative of the @EffectTS_ Community 👨💻 Open to talk everything Effect with everyone, I will be easy to recognise around 🧢👇
These are all my takeaways 👇
Conferences are for meeting people
It's sound cliché. You hear everyone saying this.
But once you experience it, you realize it's definitely true.
The main reason for attending a conference is to meet like-minded people 🙋🏼♂️
Everyone from all around the globe joins in one place. All people passionate about a specific technology. Absolutely a great chance to get to know interesting people 🙌
Second, great to meet and see in person some many great people and authors of libraries that I use everyday 🤝 @stolinski @antfu7 @DavidKPiano @youyuxi @crowlKats @alexnmoldovan
Winning is fun
Why an official representative of Effect at JSNation? 🤔
Effect was nominated for The Most Exciting Use of Technology in the JavaScript Open Source Awards, and I was there to represent the whole community 👇

Highlights: React 19, ESLint, Native APIs
The center of everyone's attention was React 19 (of course).
Here is a list of my highlights from the conference:
- React 19 changes how you write frontend code with React: not just client anymore, but including more and more the server as well ⚛
- ESLint v9 with Flat Config and Config Inspector will make life so much easier 🪄
- State machines are bound to solve LLMs and hallucinations (possibly) 👀
- The local-first and CRDTs trend is spreading 🔥
- Many new CSS, HTML, and browser APIs ready to be used 🫡
- Codeium (alternative to Github Copilot) looks interesting 🤔
@DavidKPiano solving AI and LLMs by combining it with state machines 🤖 Great ideas, you will definitely hear more about this soon 🔜 #reactsummit
There is more 🤩

What's next
Attending a conference is always a source of great inspiration and motivation:
- I am seriously thinking of joining a conference as a speaker, stay tuned 👀
- Many new technologies on my TO-TRY list (while sharing everything that I learn 🤝)
- Already planning my next major project 👇
Thinking about making a tutorial series 💡 What would you be more interested in learning first? 👇
I already joined 3 conferences this year: Effect Days, Localfirst Conf, and JSNation+ReactSummit 🔥
I have been at the Effect Days 2024, experiencing the full conference and meeting many people there 💡 Now it's the time to start using @EffectTS_ I really cannot emphasise this enough, try it now 👇
