Modern Frontend Development

My opinions on web development

Hot Takes

  1. Typescript is better than Javascript

  2. The Cascading part of CSS is a mistake

  3. CSS-in-JS (a.k.a. CSS-in-TS) is good

  4. Style overrides are almost never good

  5. Immutability and purity are essential

  6. Redux is mostly irrelevant

  7. GraphQL is cool

  8. Approaches like redux-thunk and redux-saga are an anti-pattern

  9. Typescript should just add support for pattern matching and |>

  10. Semicolons suck

  11. If you've gotta use CSS, use BEM
