📈 Sharing lessons from building tools that make devs’ lives easier

@addyosmani SDD often lays in the hands of devlopers. I think we need more collaboration in specs. Acceptence critera, goals, edge cases and domaim knowledge. The problem is, how do we collaborate?

[Liam Silk @liam_silk]

@Madisonkanna I agree. I love the flexibilty but recently finding enjoyment working in the office.

[Liam Silk @liam_silk]

@marcba @callumacrae Yikes! Is this just added over time? We try to limit our components to 500 lines max.

[Liam Silk @liam_silk]

@marcba We rebuilt our site to Nuxt 3 moving to Typescript along the way. Huge effort, I feel for you.

Code reviews aren’t just about catching bugs; they’re a chance to teach, learn, and grow as a team. Sharing constructive feedback fosters collaboration.

How do you create a positive review culture?

[Liam Silk @liam_silk]

TTFR (Time to First Review) is vital for team productivity. Quick feedback speeds up PR merging and keeps developers engaged. Often, PRs get delayed. What's your team's approach to reduce delays? Clear ownership, rotating reviewers, or other strategies?

[Liam Silk @liam_silk]

Async communication beats marathon meetings.

[Liam Silk @liam_silk]

Today's suggestion: Embrace automation.

Leave the recurring tasks like linting, testing, and deployment to automated tools. This frees developers to concentrate on the core task: creating.

Which automation tool do you swear by?

[Liam Silk @liam_silk]

Smaller PRs lead to faster reviews, making developers happier.

Dividing big changes into smaller parts has been transformative for our team: less review fatigue and more merges. How do you manage large PRs?

[Liam Silk @liam_silk]

Does your day vanish before you can focus? Balancing deep work with team collaboration can be tough. Think Slack pings and meetings.

Here’s what I’m trying:

➡️ Daily blocks of time for deep work.

➡️ Alerting the team when I’m busy to prioritize urgent tasks.

Share your tips!
