This episode is the quickest of the quackest.  Hear about smashing lego trucks from a young Haupenthal, get a pretty high-level overview of an awesome library called Graphql-Codgen and how I use it in a monorepo with Typescript projects, and get a silly opinion on the Yarn 2 meltdowns.

This week is the introduction of Quick Quacks aka shorter episodes that I can put out while I'm busy with project work.  Today I go over and awesome state management library that makes using redux feel like you're not using redux:  Rematch!  Also I FINALLY reveal my favorite Nirvana song (I got tired of being harassed on Twitter).

Adem Bilican plops into the duck pond this week to share his experience coming from native development with Java and Objective-C to working in React Native.  Adem gives his advice (and encouragement!) regarding how to create your own native modules and exposing native functionality to the javascript thread.  Also, he tries to get me to understand blockchain and cryptocurrency (with varying success).
