👯 Met some amazing colleagues.

📈 Got to experience Agile Methodologies with well maintained Sprints, Scrum meetings, and poker sessions.

▶ Learned to plan efficient sprints based on requirement analysis.

⚠ Absorbed and trying to establish that there can be as much components as possible instead of breaking rendering having everything in one component.

✅ Learned the importance and benefits of breaking down designs into well-defined, organized and structured flows to ensure smooth frontend development.

✅ Learned to be feasible with Tailwind CSS and avoid unnecessary styles.

✅ Maintaining layouts within web applications has never been better without Next 13+.

✅ Started learning Typescript and MOBX.

✅ Started learning Mongoose and brushed up Express JS and MongoDB.

✅ Mastered responsiveness and the thought process.

🔄 Learnt the most important set of communication which is to maintain a sync on the data structure according to Figma and pass it over to the backend developers who are weak in design, eventually suppressing missing fields in APIs.

📌 Applying DRY approaches is a textbook in my mind now.

📌 Learned to apply SOLID principles efficiently in frontend development.

✔ Maintaining reusable components using clsx, tw-merge, and class-variance-authority is an addiction for me now.

📌 Practice of always making a doodle of components, data flow, data structure, routing, and API endpoints are the best thing to always start with.

📌 Learned an efficient design pattern to divide API services, utilities, repeated styles and components.

✔ Starting to get more comfortable with Tanstack Query, Formik and YUP.

✅ Learned to maintain well structured forms with proper validation using reusable input field components.

✅ Learned conditional form validation using YUP, when a certain input field is dependent on another.

✅ Learned to efficiently work on multiple Github branches in the fastest way.

✅ Testing is a MUST!

✅ Debugging is now much easier.

📌 Maintaining documentation should always be a priority for team mates, new comers, and most importantly self.

💪 Got the power of mentorship at an early age, and owned it.

📌 Learned and maintained balance within team members ❗❗❗

📌 Weekly code review sessions and parallel refactoring within Sprints ❗❗❗

✅ Started getting comfortable with MVC.

🔥📌 Established the fact that a team is a team only when everyone is a team player. If anything goes wrong, the blame goes to everyone.

🔥💪 Gained the superpower to code stunning UIs without a design.

🔥💪 Am delighted to be the team leader of two production-grade projects.

🔥📌 Established a sweet approach to handling errors whenever the backend is compromised.

🔥💪 I type at 85 WPM (default) 😱

❌ Got extremely dependent on Next JS and Tailwind CSS sacrificing the roots of React JS and Vanilla CSS in the process.

❌ Procrastinated a lot.

❌ Feared Redux for a while.
