A less constrained environment

Sam and Ryan discuss new videos on async testing and declarative form validations. They also talk about why it's so hard to create good abstractions in Ember, or more generally the front-end landscape. They discuss constraints versus flexibility, and how the size of a library's problem space affects the likelihood of arriving at a good abstraction.

Topics include:

• 01:14: Lessons learned from the Async Testing series
• 06:20: Forms: declarative validations, building blocks & escape hatches
• 12:56: Why building forms in UI libraries is hard – unconstrained environments
• 30:45: Philosophical differences, and over- vs. under-abstracting
