The panel contemplates the talk Nicholas Zakas gave 6 years ago about this very same topic and how this is still a problem in the development community. Nicholas expounds on the negative effects overusing Javascript has on web applications and the things that using HTML and CSS do really well. The panel talks about the need for simplicity and using the right tool to build applications. Nicholas recommends the methods he uses to build greenfield applications and to improve existing applications.</div><div><strong>Links</strong></div><ul> <li><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=li4Y0E_x8zE">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=li4Y0E_x8zE</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.slideshare.net/nzakas/enough-withthejavascriptalready">https://www.slideshare.net/nzakas/enough-withthejavascriptalready</a></li> <li><a href="https://twitter.com/slicknet">https://twitter.com/slicknet</a></li> <li><a href="https://humanwhocodes.com/">https://humanwhocodes.com/</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.facebook.com/javascriptjabber/">https://www.facebook.com/javascriptjabber</a></li> <li><a href="https://twitter.com/JSJabber">https://twitter.com/JSJabber</a></li> </ul><div><strong>Picks</strong></div><div><strong>Chris Ferdinandi:</strong></div><ul> <li><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0DAmWHxeoKw">The Umbrella Academy Official Trailer</a></li> <li><a href="https://github.com/features/actions">https://github.com/features/actions</a></li> </ul><div><strong>AJ O’Neal:</strong></div><ul> <li>Jurassic Park</li> <li>Terminator 2</li> <li><a href="https://www.amazon.com/E6000-220011-High-Viscosity-Adhesive/dp/B0044SB3M8/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1548462018&amp;sr=8-1&amp;linkCode=ll1&amp;tag=devchattv-20&amp;linkId=f06bfe7482dca8bb751ed6d7cc86e2ab&amp;language=en_US">E6000 adhesive</a></li> </ul><div><strong>Aimee Knight:</strong></div><ul> <li><a href="https://www.reebok.com/us/reebok-legacy-lifter/BD4730.html">https://www.reebok.com/us/reebok-legacy-lifter/BD4730.html</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.holloway.com/g/equity-compensation">https://www.holloway.com/g/equity-compensation</a></li> </ul><div><strong>Charles Max Wood:</strong></div><ul> <li><a href="https://podfestexpo.com/">https://podfestexpo.com/</a></li> <li><a href="http://charlesmaxwood.com/">http://charlesmaxwood.com/</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.11ty.io/">https://www.11ty.io/</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.netlify.com/">https://www.netlify.com/</a></li> </ul><div><strong>Joe Eames:</strong></div><ul> <li><a href="https://www.mysteryscenemag.com/blog-article/5905-tom-straw-the-author-behind-castle">https://www.mysteryscenemag.com/blog-article/5905-tom-straw-the-author-behind-castle</a></li> <li>Richard Castle books</li> <li><a href="https://vanillajslist.com/">https://vanillajslist.com/</a></li> </ul><div><strong>Nicholas Zakas:</strong></div><ul> <li><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Power-Full-Engagement-Managing-Performance/dp/0743226755/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1548462018&amp;sr=8-1&amp;linkCode=ll1&amp;tag=devchattv-20&amp;linkId=f06bfe7482dca8bb751ed6d7cc86e2ab&amp;language=en_US">The Power of Full Engagement: Managing Energy, Not Time, Is the Key to High Performance and Personal Renewal by Jim Loehr and Tony Schwartz</a></li> <li><a href="https://opencollective.com/eslint">...
