Front-End Best Practices
Enforcing Code Consistency: Automating style guides with tools like ESLint and Prettier. This removes subjective debates during code reviews and catches potential syntax errors before they ever reach the browser.
Component-Driven Development (CDD): Building UIs "bottom-up" by developing components in isolation (using tools like Storybook) first. This forces you to create truly reusable, self-contained units that don't rely on messy global state.
Type Safety as Contracts: Moving beyond loose JavaScript to TypeScript (or strict Prop-Types). This acts as live documentation and prevents entire categories of runtime errors by strictly defining what data a component expects.
Smart Asset Loading: Implementing Code Splitting and Lazy Loading to ensure users only download the JavaScript and images necessary for the current view, drastically reducing the "Time to Interactive" for the initial page load.
