Special Guests: Lucas Reis

In this episode of React Round Up, the panel discusses simple React patterns with Lucas Reis. Lucas works as a senior front-end developer at Zocdoc and previously worked in Brazil for an ecommerce company called B2W. He recently wrote a blog post about simple React patterns that really took off and became popular on the web. They talk about this blog post, what defines a successful pattern, and then they discuss the different patterns that he has discovered in his years of React programming.

In particular, we dive pretty deep on:
