Recording:
What this talk is
- A preview of a very WIP, closed source project (currently)
- Ideas
What this talk is not
- Nothing ready for production
- Nothing that's been tested in real apps.
Let's
Get
STARTED!
Learning existing code
What's the best way?
- A system diagram?
- A screencast?
- One-on-one walkthrough?
- Writing it from scratch!
... but that doesn't scale very well
But what if the computer
could do that for us?
Ultra-Tree-Shaking
like tree-shaking, but better
Demo-time 😀

Faster JavaScript
This talk is about how a program slicing tool can help us learn code faster as well as ship less code (which will load, parse, and run faster).
