This includes a very productive, data-first, backend-isolated, way of working.

I shared a similar approach back in the days, and the suggested approach automates the most annoying (yet important) part: typing that mocks

On native HTML dialog vs JS ones..

Well, with
1. Perfect API docs
2. Extensive usage across the web
3. Perfect tests
4. Good understanding and taste
Your limit is the sky. Rewriting Next.js with Vite is a good example, don't miss the second part of the article about "how was this possible?" 😍

So What are OKRs? A Beginner’s Primer For anyone new to building OKRs (Objective and Key Results), this primer will set you up to understand the “why” and “how” behind OKRs.

Definitely the best ever article I read about OKRs 🤯

A message we got in the internal Slack, saying: "Hello team, I just want to give a huge shoutout to the entire Design System for the Dropdown Menu component and the amazing documentation you created Today I've worked on a task that involved a dropdown menu with icons, suffixes, submenus, you name it. Thanks to the documentation (especially the examples), it was incredibly easy! It's a very well designed (both visually and API-wise) component. And then, when I was almost done, I decided to check what it looks like on mobile and it was just cherry on top. Thank you!"

Receiving such nice feedback is heartwarming 🥰

I tried out Guidepup virtual screen reader in Storybook to test how components are announced

The prerequisites are great, but I didn't get it reading the current state of the DOM after interacting with it, bummer!

Thank you, Michael, for what you have built and keep improving!!! ♥️
I'll forward the compliments to the team 😊

And... right before the holidays, one of our team shared the love they put into testing before shipping, including investing a lot in @storybook.js.org, of course 😍

... Created DX tools, checked all the feedback, and helped other teams. It's rare to see such dedication when you also have business priorities.

And this perfectly mirrors the new Preply's engineering excellence pillars (I will share more about it soon) ❤️

They worked relentlessly to allow a big shift left in our FE testing approach, allowing FEs to apply Preply's engineering excellence strategy to the FE apps.

They upgraded Storybook, removed failing tests, created dashboards, spread the verb, created guides...

Traits of a good Tech Lead The software development industry during the 2010–2020 decade created roles such as Engineering Manager (EM) and Tech Lead (TL). People had already been using one or the other, but during that decade,...

Great read for tech leads 👏👏👏

TIL the difference, in React Native, between TextInput `inputMode` (similar to Web's `inputmode` which doesn't customize the keyboard reliably, but it adds good screen readers support) and `keyboardType` (simply changes the keyboard).

Small yet very useful testing suggestion!!!! 👏👏👏

I had so much fun chatting with Dan!!! 😍

> Sorry for the spam but I wanted to say kudos for the great storybook documentation 📷 I had to interact with several components for the first time and docs made it way easier.

Sharing the joy we received from a design system user ❤️

Unmissable talk for who works on DX and for everyone to understand how the dev tools you use can help your LLM workflow

After a couple of weeks of using it, I can say that the user experience of the DX platform is neat and perfect...

You can't imagine how much time I spent encouraging engineers to do the same, sharing all the advantages I gained from writing, speaking, and teaching.

It's an advantage for companies too, I've recently given an internal talk at Preply about the hiring benefits with numbers.
