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

CSS Grid + Flexbox = Layout perfection. Finally mastered the combination after years of float-based layouts. The key insight was using Grid for page-level layout and Flexbox for component-level alignment. Created a responsive dashboard that works perfectly from mobile to 4K displays! #css #frontend #webdev #responsive

Code review tip: Always check for SQL injection vulnerabilities. Prepared statements are your best friend! Found a raw query in legacy code today that was concatenating user input directly. Could have been catastrophic. Set up automated SAST scanning to prevent this going forward. #security #backend #codingtips #sqlinjection

Implemented OAuth 2.0 with PKCE for our mobile app. Security first! The additional complexity over implicit flow is minimal, but the security benefits are enormous. Also added refresh token rotation for extra protection. Users don't notice, but their accounts are much safer now. #oauth #security #api #authentication

Implemented lazy loading for our image gallery. Page load time dropped from 4s to 0.8s! Used Intersection Observer API combined with blur-up placeholders for a smooth user experience. The trick was finding the right threshold for triggering the load - 200px worked best for us. #performance #webdev #optimization #ux

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

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
