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
