My Thought Process

I like simple, transparent, efficient tools than complex feature rich ones. JS ecoystem and web is growing fast, lot of changes over the years!! to keep myself upto date, my only rule #useThePlatform, choose frameworks/libs closer to the native platform. Tests are important but it should be as maintainable as the source code. I look for better Developer Experience. Having a good DX creates a vibing team. When approaching Business/Clients, its better to have an end-to-end picture on the requirement and see how best we can do with our IT and provide them with solutions and prototypes to make sure we are meeting their requirements. This will help us avoid changing requirements/rework and scope change or less ROI by the time we deliver. Customer is King. Customer/Business/Client knows What they want. The How part should be worked by the techinical teams with the business.
