As a new dev joining a team, your fresh perspective is valuable but hold those big suggestions for a bit. First understand how the team works, how the product functions, and why decisions were made. That "outdated" approach? There's often a reason. Listen, learn, then contribute.
Often, the “best” technology doesn’t win.
Why? Because it must be *way* better to justify the risks and switching costs.
Is it buggy?
Is it easy to learn?
Is it well documented?
Is the ecosystem sufficient?
Is our team willing to switch?
Is the support team responsive?
Is it…
Not sure why, but I get a strange joy from racing against the clock to enter my MFA code. It's like a mini action movie. Especially when I beat the code turning red by a second.
Keep your media queries next to the styles they modify, not bundled at the bottom of your stylesheet. When tweaking grid layouts, you shouldn't have to scroll through 500 lines to find the tablet version. Colocated responsive styles mean less scrolling and faster edits.
Great DX isn't just nice to have. It drives productivity. When tools provide intuitive APIs, clear docs, and consistent patterns, devs focus on solving problems, not fighting tools. Better DX often leads to better products and less frustration.
Keep your components pure by moving spacing to the implementation layer. Adding margins inside components is like baking the plate into the cake. It limits where and how you can serve it. Let each usage context decide the spacing it needs.
Use dummy data during UI development instead of making network requests. It speeds up your workflow and lets you focus on styling without waiting for API responses. Save real API calls for when your components are polished and ready for integration.
Duplicate styles, conflicting CSS rules, and unclear naming patterns create a maze of complexity that makes the codebase harder to debug and maintain. Names should reflect unique roles in context (semantic), and similar styles should be consolidated into reusable patterns.
Your atomic components power every corner of your app. Modifying them for one-off needs is like changing traffic lights because you're in a hurry. What helps your flow breaks everyone else's.
Prioritize self-documenting code over comments. Use descriptive variable and function names that explain their purpose. Break complex logic into well-named functions. Comments often become outdated; reserve them for explaining complex algorithms or business rules.
