Description
How busy professionals stay on top of the React ecosystem. We give you a 1 hour recap of the latest news and nuance in React's development and ecosystem, the web dev labor market, upcoming conferences, and open source releases. New episodes the first week of every month, with live recordings on the last Wednesday of every month in the Reactiflux stage.
Hosted by friends and veterans of the community, Mark Erikson and Carl Vitullo. They've been driving forces in the Reactiflux Discord since 2015. Mark brings his many years maintaining Redux, and Carl his experience at a half-dozen startups.

Jenny Truong is head of operations and developer relations at Stately, and recently gave a talk titled “The Unexpected States of Burnout” at React Miami, which you can watch here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tcN8grYAEuQ.
It’s easy to accidentally transition from being productive to burning out. We tend to think in the moment in life - I’m happy, I’m excited, I'm tired, I'm hungry, I'm burnt out. We sometimes fail to think about the transitions between the states — how did I become tired, burnt out, and how do I transition to a better state?
Drawing on Jenny’s experience working at a highly-productive startup, join us as Carl Vitullo talks with her about how burnout can manifest, how it can impact our lives in unexpected ways, and how we can manage the energy we give work to thrive without burning out.

Developing software requires a lot of communication with other developers, with other teams and divisions, with managers or less experienced developers. Carl Vitullo is joined by Elizabeth Woolf to talk about feedback, team conflicts, salary negotiation, and more.
Elizabeth has worked at the intersection of tech and communication for years, getting her start in 2016 helping professors and students prepare talks and presentations. She’s just launched a new coaching business, Woolf Communication, in January after seeing a gap between what was expected of engineers in the workplace and what training is made available to them.

Rewrites! Everyone wants to do one, but the software industry is littered with examples of failed rewrites. Our host Carl Vitullo is joined by Mark Erikson and Sunil Pai to talk shop about what they’ve looked like in our careers, and how to help make sure they’ll be successful.
Sunil Pai has loomed large in the React ecosystem for years, working on the core team, and he’s now building https://partykit.io. Mark Erikson needs no introduction! He’s maintained Redux and Redux Toolkit for years, is currently building http://replay.io, and has been a fixture of the Reactiflux community since the early days.
Join us and we’ll help you avoid the worst of the many footguns when rewriting software.

Ankita Kulkarni is an engineer manager and educator with more than 10 years of experience as a software engineer, now teaching developers about the transition into management.
When Ankita became a manager, she had to find mentors to help her learn the subtle intricacies of being a successful manager. Now, she’s taking what she learned and teaching developers about what that transition looks like, and how to decide if that’s how you’d like to further your career.

A documentary about React, produced by Honeypot.io, was released on February 10th, and Carl Vitullo spoke with two of the people instrumental in making it happen: Ida Bechtle, staff filmmaker from Honeypot; and Christopher Chedeau, whose contributions to the React and JS ecosystem are nearly innumerable — React, React Native, Prettier, Docusaurus, Excalidraw, and more.
We talked about the documentary itself, how it got made, and some other behind-the-scenes info — an unofficial “DVD commentary” for the documentary.
