JSter #244: Libraries and more
There can be only one JavaScript
Future Frontend conference ran last week and from my perspective it was a success in many ways. I also completed my doctoral defense successfully.
Since there's somehow less action in the JavaScript space (or I notice less of it), I'll move to a monthly schedule with the mailing list for now. This may also be a sign of stability or shift of focus to AI/LLM.
