Mikhail Korolev
Senior Engineer / Developer Experience @ Toptal
Actions
Software engineer of over 10 years, currently occupied with all the things about front-end infrastructure and developer happiness. Talk to me about the Web Platform, browser guts and specialty coffee!
Let's build everything! The chaos of pet projects.
Over the last 5 years I have connected my table to Chrome Developer Tools, built the smallest video player, made the most unpractical ad-blocker and encapsulated a tiny British LLM in a smart speaker.
Balancing a stack of impractical ideas while having enough mental capacity to live a healthy life is hard. Is "coding away from work" a sign of bad work-life balance or a secret of being a great engineer?
How can you manage your ideas and make them work? Is there a "secret sauce" to finishing things with having no time at all?
Let me tell you a story. Actually, a lot of stories, all at once!
Frontend Tooling of the Past, Today and Tomorrow
Remember when HTML and CSS were enough? Those days are gone.
While the Web Platform dates back many years what lies ahead is a journey we're yet to experience. In this talk, we'll briefly revisit Web 1.0, explore Web 2.0, and trace the evolution of JavaScript tooling.
Learn about everything there is to know about modern front-end build systems. How is Vite different from Rspack? Can the Biome promise be finally fulfilled? Can you speed up your webpack build with barely any effort spent?
We'll also explore the building blocks of the future Web: new tools, browsers, frameworks, and protocols. Looking at 5, 10 and even 20 years ahead, we will examine trends together and predict what the future of the web looks like.
