How to split technical tasks so that every developer can work asynchronously

Mock-Driven Development is a way of planning out features in a way that allows each dev to work on a feature without having to wait for other coders to finish their work.

The traditional way of assigning tasks

• The coder is given a business requirement and told "make this happen".
• Because the business scope might be vague, the technical scope becomes a big question mark.
• This often makes the scope of the feature cross several domains of the app (backend, frontend, API, database, etc.)
• By the end of the feature, the coder is expected to have all these domains working together without errors.

Best Practices for Debugging

Big Principle #1: Use the same data

Scientific control

A scientific control is an experiment or observation designed to minimize the effects of variables other than the independent variable. This increases the reliability of the results, often through a comparison between control measurements and the other measurements.

How to design a full stack feature in pairs

How to work on frontend/backend without relying on each other's work

STEP 1: Define how the request/response flow works between the frontend at every step.

The Problem: One common issue that can arise is a form needs to be designed before the backend can test their controller... OR an API endpoint on the backend needs to be functioning before a frontend can test if their request works.

If you're building a backend feature, for example a Webhook for the Twilio API, then you can go into their Dashboard, test your webhook, and you don't have to worry about this kind of thing.
