In this episode, the JavaScript Jabber panelists discuss UX in Angular with Tomek Sułkowski. Tomek currently works as a front-end engineer for an app creating company, as well as has been working for Sages running front-end workshops that mostly have to do with Angular. They talk about his blog post, buttons, and improving the user experience. They also touch on the importance of using simple solutions rather than overcomplicated ones, how to teach UI in training, and much more!

In particular, we dive pretty deep on:
