Wolfram Kriesing
Back in 1999 when I had my first pure JavaScript gig, it was still NS4 and IE4 that ruled this world,

Now that every mobile phone has JavaScript and we in uxebu continue to push the limits there.
Last year we launched pixelplant.com, a Flash to HTML5 conversion with the main focus on the iPad, pushing the limits again.
Pixelplant is pure JavaScript (client and server side), of course.

(Polymer) people about "best practices", "reusability" and "separation of
concerns" and trying to bribe the devops people into "give me a button to
restart the whole pipeline of everything in the universe on a click".
Previously Zlatko worked as a consultant, freelancer and an employee on a whole
lot of different projects: high-thoughput Node.js/Redis services, a few
rewrites (and order-of-magintude speedups) of PHP-based "APIs" to Node.js,
building frontend, ie. dashboards in several different frameworks. He's made an
amazing number of the usual and unusual mistakes it made him think he can have
an interesting JavaScript talk at a Node.js meetup.
