How I Approach Real-World Problems as a Full-Stack Developer
A short field guide to the questions I ask before writing a line of code.
The first question is always: what is the smallest change that moves the user forward. Real-world work rewards people who can find that change and ship it.
Find the constraint
After that, I look for the constraint. Is it time, scope, or correctness. The answer changes the shape of the solution more than the technology ever does.
Leave a trail
The last habit is to leave a trail. Comments, commit messages, and a short note in the handoff. Future me, and the next developer, will thank present me.
# The shortest loop I know
git checkout -b fix/empty-state
git commit -m 'fix: render empty state when list is empty'
# deploy, watch, learn, repeat
