JSK Weekly - September 16, 2020

Development may be largely seen as a technical skill but how often have you considered it to be an art form too? We have tools, we streamline, we create, we build and on Snipcart this week Maxime Laboissonniere even shows us how to "Craft Better Looking Vue Apps Using Tailwind CSS." Nice.

Tools are there to help us work smart, not hard, as detailed by Deepak Gangwar in "4 Must Have Free Tools for Developers", David Walsh shares "5 Awesome JavaScript Promise Tricks" and Dilantha Prasanjith gives us "6 Reasons to Use React Hooks Instead of Classes" on Bits and Pieces.

Review of Chakra UI

Chakra UI keeps its components fairly consistent based on the following principles. Because Chakra UI is based on styled systems, it is possible to override or extend all component styles using props. So, you rarely have to use stylesheets or inline styles. You can find many shorthand variants of the style props in the Chakra UI component library.

"To understand recursion, one must first understand recursion" - Unknown If you're like me then you probably didn't understood recursion the first time you read about it.

Angular

Feature Flags in Angular

Many times when working on applications, especially with teams, multiple features are being worked on at the same time. They aren't all ready for deploy at the same time, though.
