Should you use merge commits or rebase when working on large codebases?

Frontend First

Sam and Ryan talk about whether you should use merge commits or you should rebase commits in your PRs when working on large, fast-moving codebases. They also talk about implementing build-time client-side search with Stork, and why layering in animation code shouldn’t materially affect your existing React code.

Topics include:

• 0:00 - Intro
• 1:48 – How to use D3 with React elements -
