It has been a while since I wrote my last post. So, before going to bed I just want to write things that is bothering me this time.

I’ve been busy working on things and try to learn something new as much as possible without compromising my time with my wife.

Early this morning, I was thinking again about if there is a way to integrate frontend to backend without huge blockages. Think about it as frontend will create their pages and interactions without worrying about backend. And then backend will do the business logics without thinking about frontend. And once we put them together with a middleware program/service then it will just work with less coding and configuration. I know this sounds crazy but for some developers who always in this situation would agree.

On top of my head, maybe there is way to do less logic coding and instead leverage more on declaring things. This idea falls to a declarative programming. As you practice this style, you know what will be your expected result but you don’t know how to do it yet. It will be ideal that you know things will end this way without exerting too much effort on building the logic first.

There might be tools out there (that I still need to find) that have already implemented this. I’ll dig more and hopefully I can find anything. Or if not, then I’ll try to create one. Hopefully! 😀 Please do drop some comments if you have any idea about this. Thanks!

While riding the train today, I stumbled with this programming article. I always think about how to become a better programmer at the same time write less and effective codes.

I still remember during my college days, one of my professor friend thought me of how to be a better programmer. He told me that I should write my code first while in my mind I assume that things will work. This will help me speed up and write quality codes. It became my principle since then.

This principle is still effective. I am able to see things without even writing a single code because I trained myself to see it. But things have changed already in programming nowadays.

Today, I appreciate how important the practice test-driven development (TDD). I can’t believe that I’ve just discovered it although it exists a long time ago. By this we can catch possible known problems that we’ll encounter in our system or API.

We all have different practices and it solves our problems. But adapting other practices makes you better and effective. I am excited to change my practice now and be more efficient on my next coding.
