Software Engineering. In front-end land it’s easy to drop the “Engineering” element along the way in our rush to deliver software.
Want to build a chart? Someone else must have done this. Google. Install library. Fit peg into hole. Pray that it doesn’t come loose
I fell into the trap of working this way over time and paradoxically it is quite exhausting. Nothing ever feels satisfyingly “built” and you end up on a hamster wheel of repair cycles .
So I’ve been dusting off my old geometry skills and approaching tasks with a fresh perspective lately. To engineer pragmatically from the ground up on a solid foundation of understanding.
