Finally understood the event loop in JavaScript. It's the key to writing non-blocking code! Created a visualization to explain it to junior devs. Understanding microtasks vs macrotasks changed how I think about async operations. Promises aren't magic anymore - they're just queue management! #javascript #nodejs #async #learning

Laravel 11 is out! The new features for API development are exactly what we needed. The improved rate limiting, better queue handling, and the new Volt single-file components for Livewire are game-changers. Migration from v10 was surprisingly smooth - only took a few hours. #laravel #php #backend #webdev

Database indexing reduced our query time from 2s to 50ms. Always profile before optimizing! Used EXPLAIN ANALYZE to identify the bottleneck - a missing composite index on frequently joined columns. The fix was one line of SQL, but the impact was enormous. Users noticed immediately! #database #performance #backend #sql

Just finished building a responsive dashboard with React and Tailwind CSS. The component architecture makes maintenance so much easier! What I love most is how the utility-first approach keeps the styles co-located with the markup. No more hunting through CSS files! #react #tailwindcss #webdev #frontend

Migrated our monolith to microservices. Docker + Kubernetes made the transition smooth. The key was identifying bounded contexts correctly and not making services too granular. Started with 3 services, now at 8. Each one has clear ownership and can be scaled independently. #microservices #docker #devops #architecture

Accessibility matters! Added ARIA labels and keyboard navigation. Web should be for everyone. Ran our site through screen readers and found so many issues we never noticed. Fixed them all and got positive feedback from users with disabilities. It's not just compliance - it's the right thing to do. #a11y #accessibility #webdev #inclusive

TypeScript strict mode saved us from 3 production bugs this week alone. Type safety is not optional anymore! The initial setup time is worth every minute when you consider the hours saved debugging runtime type errors. Our team's velocity has increased noticeably since adoption. #typescript #javascript #codingtips #development

Exploring Astro for static site generation. The partial hydration concept is brilliant! Only JavaScript that's needed gets shipped to the client. Built a marketing site that scores 100 on all Lighthouse metrics. The island architecture is the future of content-heavy sites. #astro #jamstack #frontend #performance
