Matteo Technical Principles

1. Conway’s Law is paramount.

Any organization that designs a system (defined broadly) will produce a design whose structure is a copy of the organization's communication structure.

In order to design a piece of software we need to “design” the team that is going to produce it.

2. Developer Experience is key to productivity

Advanced memoization and effects in React

Memoization is a somewhat fraught topic in the React world, meaning that it's easy to go wrong with it, for example, by [making memo() do nothing][memo-pitfall] by passing in children to a component. The general advice is to avoid memoization until the profiler tells you to optimize, but not all use cases are general, and even in the general use case you can find tricky nuances.

Discussing this topic requires some groundwork about the technical terms, and I'm placing these in once place so that it's easy to skim and skip over:

• Memoization means caching the output based on the input; in the case of functions, it means caching the return value based on the arguments.
• Values and references are unfortunately overloaded terms that can refer to the low-level implementation details of assignments in a language like C++, for example, or to memory

Using server-sent events

Why and how?

• Documentation: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Server-sent_events/Using_server-sent_events
• Use case: broadcasting data from server to browsers
• Benefits:
  • Easy to understand and implement (only a few lines of code)
  • No library is needed
• Can use same HTTP(S) authentication as elsewhere in the app (which can’t be done with websockets)

How to create an HTTPS certificate for localhost domains

This focuses on generating the certificates for loading local virtual hosts hosted on your computer, for development only.

Do not use self-signed certificates in production ! For online certificates, use Let's Encrypt instead (tutorial).
