This year, React Universe On Air is doing something different for Christmas. No guests, demos, or framework updates. Instead, Ola Desmurs Linczewska tells a Christmas story.
A (Secure) Christmas Carol is a holiday fairytale for JavaScript and React Native developers. Set on Christmas Eve, it follows Npmezer Scrooge, a senior engineer who believes deadlines matter more than holidays, and warnings can always wait.
Over the course of one long winter night, he’s visited by unexpected guides who show him what his choices look like across time: the optimism of the past, the quiet damage of the present, and a future no one wants.
All technical details, real-world security issues, and references mentioned in the story are explained in the show notes 📚 https://clstk.com/4pEVYwv
We’ll be back in January with regular episodes. Until then, stay kind, stay curious, and have yourself a very merry Christmas.
