Improving JavaScript (d)app security by practicing extreme modularity
Modern JS apps are built from countless third-party modules. Building apps from objects with varying degrees of trust requires a new mindset to defend against unintended side-effects (bugs or attacks). This becomes even more critical in Web3 where objects represent digital assets. Join me for an example-driven tour of basic patterns that will help you write more robust code.

Let's find the signal in an otherwise noisy space.
