Mongoose lean()

Pro Tip with Mongoose: you can use `.lean()` method to return plain JavaScript objects, instead of Mongoose document instances. Which is much faster/less memory-intensive - ideal for read-heavy operations 🚀

Doing TDD helps to re-organized better the business logic of your application

In programming, TDD forces you to reorganize and simplify your business logic. Doing it, you’ll write smaller and more maintainable code.
Writing tests first makes you (AI) think through your design before implementation, leading to cleaner software architecture👌

Seriously, this simple shortcut is a real game changer for productivity! ✨

Dependency Injection enables Single Responsibility Principle

Dependency Injection enables Single Responsibility and Open/Closed principles by letting you swap components without modifying existing classes.
This keeps your code flexible, testable, and easier to maintain as your service scales! 💥

#CleanCode #SOLID #SoftwareArchitecture​​​​​​​​

All the mistakes and complete lack of apologies from @Apple and the Apple Stores have been exhausting. We should only support companies that truly care about providing excellent service, and Apple has consistently failed to meet expectations.

#DisappointedInApple #backToLinux

For the last 1.5 years, my experience with @Apple and their customer service has been close to disastrous. The time spent going back and forth on recurring problems at GeniusBar appointments waiting hours, along with the poor service and very poor commununcation from Apple Store

I’m also curious to hear if others have made the switch too 🤔🤔
