Why not use my design?”
“It doesn’t match the code.”
That’s when I built a real design system
shared components, defined states, no guesswork.

Now devs say, “Got it.” And they mean it.

It's not about having more hours in the day; it's about making the hours count. ✨ Focus beats time every time.

Avoid unnecessary use of the spread operator in JavaScript—it can increase memory usage and hurt performance.

If you don’t need a new object each time, mutate the existing one. It’s faster and more efficient.

Use the right tool for the job! ⚙️

🤖 AI has changed how we write code but not why we write it.

🧠 You no longer need to remember syntax, function signatures, boilerplate code, or API endpoints.

⌨️ The hard part was never typing.
💡 It was always thinking.

✨ And it still is.

In React, setting autoFocus on an element (like <input>) removes it from the DOM, but React simulates the behavior by calling .focus() on mount. This ensures consistent autofocus behavior across all browsers. You can confirm the removal in DevTools.

💡 Must-Know CSS Shortcuts

Speed up styling with these handy CSS functions:

min() / max() – Dynamic size limits

Debugging 101:
Wrote a perfect function.
Ran the code. Nothing happened.
Why? You never called it. 🤦‍♀️

Before deep-diving, ask:
→ Did I call it?
→ Did I pass arguments?

That’s it. Saved me countless times.

“Yes,” if you’ve been there. 🔁 if it helps.

How to create a star rating ⭐️ without any library?
Here’s a neat little function that takes the number of stars and returns a clean visual rating using just string slicing — no third-party dependencies.

Note: This handles only full stars (no support for half-stars 🌟).

JS Tip: Don’t use || for fallbacks — it treats 0, '', and false as falsy too!

Use ?? instead when those are valid values.
✅ data?.score ?? 10
❌ data && data.score || 10
Combine ?. + ?? for safe, clear defaults.

A modern way to animate <dialog> elements in CSS! 🚀

The new @starting-style rule allows smoother transitions when opening dialogs, solving the common issue where the dialog starts fully visible before fading in. This makes animations more natural without requiring JavaScript workarounds.

Converting input type number by using parseInt or Number() function, or using a plus operator, for instance
const num = +value.

We can instead use the valueAsNumber property, which gives the value as a number type, simple 🪄

🧠 JS Tip: Conditionally add object props using && + spread:

js
Copy
Edit
const obj = {
name: "John",
...(shouldAdd && { age: 39 }),
};
✅ Adds age if shouldAdd is true
❌ Adds nothing if false

Clean & simple! ✨

Everyone sees the UI.
Few see the backend.
No one sees the database.

✨ Great software is built on invisible layers.
✨ Great devs take pride in what’s unseen.
Your work matters even if no one sees it.

Programming isn’t just code
It’s hours lost to a missing semicolon,
5 more minutes” turning into sunrise,
And alarms to remind you to sleep.

Love the work, but don’t skip the rest.
Ever stayed up all night without noticing?

Great coders don’t just write code ✍️ they solve puzzles 🧩 and conquer challenges 🏆.

One habit that leveled up my code:
Keep components small & focused.

I used to write giant ones with layout, logic, and UI mixed—chaos.

Now I:
✅ Split big into small
✅ One task per component
✅ Reuse instead of rewrite
✅ Name things clearly

Clean code = better flow, less stress.

You don’t need to be perfect.

Some days, I code fast.
Other days, I Google nonstop.
Some projects go smooth.
Others? Full of revisions.

But I show up.

Consistency beats perfection.
Every time.

You just need to start — and keep going.
