Just discovered htmx - it's like having the power of SPAs without the JavaScript complexity. Perfect for simple projects! Added real-time search to a legacy app in just 20 lines of code. Sometimes the simplest solution is the best one. Not everything needs React! #htmx #webdev #simplicity #javascript

WebSocket implementation complete! Real-time notifications are now live. The user experience improvement is massive. Went with Socket.io for the fallback support and room management features. Users are loving the instant updates - engagement metrics are up 40% since launch! #websocket #realtime #nodejs #ux

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

PWA development is underrated. Our app now works offline and users love it! Service workers were tricky to debug at first, but Chrome DevTools made it manageable. The install prompt increased engagement significantly. Push notifications brought users back 3x more often! #pwa #webdev #mobile #serviceworker

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

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

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 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

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
