Have you ever wanted to make a big change to the codebase but got scared off by the thought of rebasing, applying all your changes again and again… and again? Fear no longer!
Transform your codebase completely automated. Using the Typescript compiler that’s also used in VSCode and with help of the Abstract Syntax Tree, this will become a breeze. You can finally do that long awaited upgrade towards a better developer experience!
This talk will make these distant utopias a reality, with practical examples, and useful boilerplate.
