A talk for the WaffleJS October 2017 meetup.
Coffee is an essential part of many developers’ lives, but sometimes we need to cut back. In this talk, I’ll show you how a small team of engineers safely and efficiently converted hundreds of thousands of lines of CoffeeScript, spanning thousands of files into modern JavaScript over a short span of time. I’ll go over why we made the switch, how I got buy-in, and how the team was able to stay productive throughout the conversion.
