Front-End Developers, I have a question.
For those of you who actively use or have dabbled in React, VueJS, Angular and want to level up. What are you currently learning or struggling with? What are the biggest unanswered questions you have? Things you don't know how to do yet?
I'm writing a series of articles on advanced font-end development and component design and I'm looking for topic ideas that will resonate.
A bit background about me: I lead a small team at a big corp (with 100+ products and technology stacks) responsible for building and maintaining a cross-platform design-system-as-code based on web components. It's a unique position to be in and I feel like I've learned a ton of lessons that aren't necessarily available on the internet today, and I want to remedy that!
PS: If you've facing some more specific architecture challenges I'd love to hear about it too! Maybe we could pair, you know what they say about "n + 1 brains >= 1 brain" for all positive nonzero values of n.
thanks in advance!
would love some high-level demystification or comparison of build processes, techniques.
stuff like webpack, babel, etc, but also chunking strategies, sequencing. i've worked with Angular, Vue and React, but usually have this unsettling feeling, like i just don't know enough around 'build' to deal with how it may break on me someday. i don't need to go down the rabbit hole but starting with high level approach of common tools, gotchas, pitfalls, etc, would be great.
Ha, I can relate to this myself - I tend to procrastinate on any "build" tasks. Definitely a good topic, but something I'd have to brush up on myself. I've always heavily relied on framework CLIs that setup sane defaults and Google for anything else. So far that's worked, but I can relate to your feeling of unease!
Feel free to ask me anything about bundlng/building in the javascript eco system. I will do my best to answer you.
