83: David Khourshid on XState, Statecharts, and the Future of Designer—Coder Collaboration

David Khourshid is the man bringing statecharts to the frontend.
We talk about XState, model-based testing with xstate-test, and the future designer/coder integration

For the month of february, we're chatting exclusively with Reactathon speakers.
You can hear more from David on the topic state-charts for UI development this march.
Reactathon is a top React conference in the heart of San Francisco.
David and I will be there, chewing people's ears off about better designer tooling.
