Special Guests: Orta Therox


In this episode, the JavaScript Jabber panelists talk about the tool Danger with Orta Therox. Danger allows you to create cultural rules about your pole request workflow. They discuss what Danger is, how it works, and how it can help you to catch errors and speed up code review. Danger lets you erase discussions so that you can focus on the things that you should really be focusing on, like the code. They also compare Danger to other ways of doing test converge.

In particular, we dive pretty deep on:


What is DangerJS?
Think of it as being on the PR level
Provides an eval context
Used on larger projects
React, React Native, Apollo, and RxJS
