**Refactoring Without a Net**
Code sucks. Well, not all code. If your code is clean, it doesn’t. For that to happen, you need to refactor all the time. But here’s the catch: Refactoring without tests is risky. Without that safety net, you’re not even going to try.

Unless there is another way. While there is no real replacement for tests, we can take shortcuts.

In this session, we'll discuss refactoring, including examples of how to do it when you don’t have tests but still don’t want to bring the house down. I’m going to talk about how to tackle different scenarios, understand the risks, and how to refactor code that doesn’t have actual tests.

Refactoring may be risky, but it’s not a yes/no option. You can still improve the code and make changes easier with these tips.

**Javascript Pitfalls and Weird Parts**
JavaScript is the most robust language in browsers nowadays. Frontend Developers use it as their, pretty much go-to for day to day. Surprisingly(or not), it has various quirks and pitfalls that can cause hair pulling, confusion and countless hours spent on debugging – Tonight we will touch base with some of these pitfalls and weird parts to help us developers write better and more bulletproof code in our products.
