We all love to see sites that are fast, user-friendly, accessible, secure and reliable. But how do you get there? In this talk, we’ll share how we use the various aspects of “performance” to guide decisions from product ideation through actual software, and how we measure and tool for success. 

This is a mindset, not just a single metric: We care a lot about page speed, conversion and beyond. and in our opinion, “a better web” is a more performant web, which starts with a core practice is to love our customers (and our customers’ customers).

We’ll share tactics you can take back to your team to argue for a better, more performant way to engage with your users.

In this talk, Jonathan will share his experience of introducing and optimizing the code review process within Angry Creative. As a business responsible for hundreds of production ecommerce stores, there’s a lot of pressure on the Angry Creative team to make sure that deployments are on-point. A critical part of that process is code reviews. Code reviews are also a great opportunity for learning and sharing knowledge between developers, something that Jonathan cares deeply about.

Jonathan will describe what code reviews are and run through the reasons you should always run code reviews. Furthermore, he’ll talk about how you can approach code reviews as both a technical company and as an individual. He’ll go into detail on techniques, tools and drop a whole bunch of insightful tips.
