Panel Discussion: The Future of React and Its Ecosystem

While developers are increasingly turning to AI assistants for everything from component creation to generating full-blown apps, a critical question remains: just how good is AI at truly understanding and fluently writing production-quality React code? This talk moves beyond the hype to offer a candid, behind-the-scenes look at our work in quantifying the capabilities of large language models, in the real world of web development. We will explore key insights from industry benchmarks on their ability to build functional and interactive web applications using technologies like Next.js. We will share our explorations into building stronger full-stack coding support for React using Gemini. Join us for a data-driven yet deeply human exploration of the current state and future potential of AI code generation in the world of React.

The role of the software engineer is undergoing a fundamental shift. As AI becomes deeply integrated into our workflows, a new paradigm is emerging: the AI-Native Software Engineer. This isn't about being replaced; it's about amplification. This talk presents a practical playbook for developers to transition to AI being a versatile partner across the entire software development lifecycle.We'll explore the crucial mindset shift required to see AI as a productivity multiplier, not a threat. You will learn how to effectively orchestrate AI agents and tools - including the new Chrome DevTools MCP - to delegate routine tasks and free yourself to focus on high-level problem-solving, architecture, and innovation. We will move beyond basic code generation and discuss applying AI to system design, testing, debugging, and operations, transforming your role from a code writer to a systems thinker. Join me to discover how to "trust, but verify," maintain ultimate ownership and quality, and become an indispensable AI-native engineer who is shaping the future of software.

Get ready for an exciting journey through the latest in Chrome DevTools and React DevTools as we dive into the State of the Union for 2024. We'll explore the powerful tools and features that continue to empower developers to craft high-performance web experiences. We’ll also touch on the latest in React debugging including updates like React Compiler support. Whether you're a veteran user or new to the DevTools magic, this session will equip you with actionable tips and insights to level up your development process.

Unlock the next generation of developer productivity. In this talk, we'll dive into how AI-powered tools are transforming the way we build software. Discover techniques for rapid iteration, intelligent debugging, and the creation of exceptional user experiences. Whether you're using cutting-edge AI models or exploring the first wave of AI assistance, this talk will equip you with strategies to level up your workflow.

Our understanding of performance &amp; user-experience has heavily evolved over the years. Web Developer Tooling needs to similarly evolve to make sure it is user-centric, actionable and contextual where modern experiences are concerned. In this talk, Addy will walk you through Chrome and others have been thinking about this problem and what updates they've been making to performance tools to lower the friction for building great experiences on the web.
