    TC39: How signals work, adding signals to the JavaScript programming language

    Links - Codecrafters (sponsor): https://tej.as/codecrafters - TC39 Signals Proposal: https://github.com/tc39/proposal-signals Summary In this conversation, Kristen Maevyn, and Daniel Ehrenberg discuss reactivity and its importance in JavaScript. They explore the concept of reactivity, its role in keeping applications deterministic, and the challenges of achieving consistency in modern rendering frameworks. They also compare signals to observables and explain why signals are being considered as a language-level feature. The conversation touches on the API for signals, the use of classes in JavaScript, and the benefits of functional programming. Signals are an evolution of the long-standing problem of managing state in JavaScript applications. They provide a solution to the issues with classes and functions by combining the benefits of both. Signals allow for encapsulation, testing in isolation, and pure functions while still being able to handle state. Chapters 00:00:00 Intro 00:09:57 What are signals? 00:26:37 Classes and the `new` keyword 00:41:31 State Management and Signals 00:49:25 Push-based vs. Pull-based Reactivity 01:04:43 Language-level vs. Framework-level Signals 01:14:27 Server-side Signals 01:25:06 Self-referencing Signals 01:36:29 Audience Q&A 01:47:07 Conclusion Hosted on Acast.

We discuss the concept of browser-based software and its potential to automate tasks on the web. Paul explains that the future of software is one where it does the work for us, and Browserbase is designed to power this future by providing a programmable web browser for AI applications.  We also touch on the challenges of running browser automation frameworks in production and how Browserbase solves these challenges. Paul introduces Stagehand, an open-source SDK that helps developers automate web workflows, and emphasizes the importance of ethical use of browser automation tools. Customers are building various applications on Browserbase, including web scraping, testing, AI agents, B2B software, and professional services.  The company has experienced rapid growth, with thousands of hours of browser sessions per week. To handle the scale, Browserbase had to make architectural changes, such as moving from Postgres to ClickHouse for better performance. They also had to address challenges like connection management, resource allocation, and debugging customer issues. The founder believes they have achieved product-market fit based on strong customer retention and repeatable growth strategies.  Browserbase is a technical product, so the number one priority for hiring is that candidates are technical and understand what Browserbase does. The team is currently focused on growing the top of the funnel and the sales edge side. They have specific roles for growth engineers and customer-focused engineers. The company recently raised a Series A round of $27M, with the goal of becoming a category-defining infrastructure company. The pricing model for Browserbase includes a hobby plan, a startup plan, and a scale plan. The company offers 10 free sessions for users to try out the product.
