How many times have you had to wait for your backend team to finish building the API so you can start your tasks? What if all you needed to move that task to in progress was the API contract? What if there was a library that did this for REST and GraphQL APIs and, at the same time, taking your tests to the next level? Join me and prepare to enhance your developer experience while learning all the battle-earned experiences of using one of my favorite libraries: Mock Service Worker.

“Maybe I’m fooling everyone… I’m not good enough for this, and at this point, it is a question of time until everyone figures it out” these might be the words that cross your mind as your coworker compliments you for doing another fantastic job at delivering a new feature. As you grow in your career, so does your uncertainty.

At this point, that feeling is leading your actions and decisions. It is the thing that is driving your career. Only one question persists: Are you really an imposter?

React and the JavaScript ecosystem seems to be constantly changing. Wherever we look, there are new libraries and frameworks. These new tools always lead to learning concepts that are often non-transferable knowledge.
What if I told you that by learning standard web APIs, relearning the web, and getting a bunch of transferable knowledge, you can also start using a fantastic new addition to the React ecosystem: Remix!
