Filtering Lists Dynamically With Vue on the Server Side is Easier Than You’d Think

As you begin to make use of React hooks in your applications, you’ll want to be certain the code you write is nothing short of solid. There’s nothing like shipping buggy code.

18.11.2019
I'm turning 40 next year (yikes!) and even though I've been making websites for over 25 years, I feel like I'm finally beginning to understand the kind of development I like.

Nice post from Thomas Ladd about how their front-end team does testing. The list feels like a nice place to be:
