The Controversies Panelist Episode - RRU 197
In today's all panelist episode we address web development controversies: state management tools, CSS in JS, GraphQL or REST, and, of course, tabs versus spaces.

It's a fun episode for everyone, and we'd love to hear about your own controversial coding decisions.
