Code reviews are not for your team to be human linters. We have tools like ESLint & prettier to take care of that. Code review is to catch larger code issues. Not syntax.

I have a problem with this screen. Only like 2 or 3 of these are actually frameworks. With React & Preact you build your framework out of those view libraries. Ember & Angular provide so much more out of the box.

Shout out @miragejs! I talked about this method of testing at @JSConfUS in 2018 (starting here: piped.video/243TCc5qP-g?t=1561) It’s real powerful. We’ve also had tons of instances where we built the UI before the API was even ready, thanks to Mirage.
Replying to @housecor
Oh yeah, perhaps most important: We call a mock API so every call returns reliably and instantly. And we pass a header that allows us to specify what the mock API should return.

I’m hoping typescript goes the way of coffeescript and there’s a mass exit from it in a few years. If I wanted strong types I’d pick a language that had them. Bolting them on top of a loosely typed language makes no sense to me
