TypeScript is a powerful tool for enhancing JavaScript with strong typing. But like any tool, it can be misused. A common anti-pattern in TypeScript is duplicating types instead of leveraging its utility types. This leads to bloated, harder-to-maintain code.

Let’s explore this with an example and how to improve it by "typing smartly."

Every engineer has been here: staring at the same project they helped launch, now bloated and twisted, and muttering the infamous words — “Let’s rewrite it from scratch.”

But why does this keep happening?

Let’s walk through the typical lifecycle of a software project using the clever chart above that maps Impact against Effort over time.

Discover the top 10 npm commands every developer should know, with real-world examples and tips. Learn how to manage dependencies, run scripts, improve security, and streamline workflows in your Node.js projects.

Understanding storage, memory, and calldata in Solidity​

When writing smart contracts in Solidity, understanding data locations—storage, memory, and calldata—is essential. These keywords define where and how data is stored and manipulated, which impacts gas usage, performance, and functionality.

Explore the best Ethereum token standards for real-world asset (RWA) tokenization, including ERC-3643, ERC-1400, ERC-4626, and more. Learn how to implement fractional ownership, compliant transfers, and profit sharing using the right smart contract architecture.

Mongoose, a popular ODM (Object Data Modeling) library for MongoDB in Node.js, provides powerful querying capabilities to work with complex document structures. In this article, we'll explore some advanced querying features in Mongoose, including $elemMatch, aggregation pipelines, and bulkWrite operations. These techniques are essential for building efficient and scalable applications.

A sitemap is an XML file that lists all the important pages of your website, helping search engines like Google index your content more effectively. In Next.js, you can generate a sitemap dynamically using the next-sitemap package. This article will guide you step-by-step on how to set it up.

🚀 Why Do You Need a Sitemap?​

A sitemap improves SEO by:

• Helping search engines discover your pages faster.
• Improving website ranking by ensuring all pages are indexed.
• Allowing control over which pages should be crawled (via robots.txt).

Writing meaningful commit messages is crucial for maintaining a clean and understandable Git history. The Conventional Commits specification provides a structured way to write commit messages, making it easier to automate versioning, track changes, and collaborate effectively.

This guide covers all standard commit types, explaining their use cases and best practices.
