5 ways to make PR reviews actually enjoyable:
1️⃣ Create templates (less thinking, more focus)
2️⃣ Add videos/screenshots (visual > text walls)
3️⃣ Break it down (cognitive load matters)
4️⃣ Attach preview deployments (playing > reading)
5️⃣ Pair on reviews (collaboration > isolation)

The hidden math of team scaling: every new developer doesn't just add capacity—they add communication complexity, onboarding overhead, and code review bottlenecks. Make sure you're solving the right problem first. https://link.testdouble.com/859d61

Great UX shouldn't require a complete rewrite. Dave Mosher compares a React SPA vs HTMX for the same app.

HTMX delivers on what matters:
- Ship faster (one deployment vs two)
- Onboard developers faster (HTML + HTTP, done)
- Serve users better (works without JS)
- Keep it together (1 script vs dependency chaos)

Not about abandoning React—it's about choosing complexity only when it adds user value.

"We just need to be more careful about quality" … 💥

Famous last words from leadership everywhere. You can't solve systemic problems by expecting developers to be perfect. Even AI hallucinates and needs human review.

So why do we keep designing systems that assume perfection? You need systems that manage inevitable mistakes, not reject them. https://link.testdouble.com/9a7f27

Building software teams that manage mistakes rather than rejecting them

There’s a pervasive assumption that expert developers don’t make mistakes. But they’re only human. Ignoring that can lead to high intensity events. Invest in systems to manage inevitable mistakes.

Sometimes to do more you need to stop and first think about how you're doing the thing in the first place.

You scaled really fast and now it feels like everything is broken. How do you differentiate between symptoms and root causes? Objective pattern matching can help. If you're holding regular retros and documenting issues, what are the blockers that come up over and over?

Tired of endless testing debates?

Here's a pragmatic frontend testing approach from Rob Komaromi that actually works:
🔧 Vitest + Testing Library for components
🚀 Cypress for business-critical flows
📁 Co-located tests for maintainability
🔍 Manual QA for edge case discovery

Focus on user value, not testing taxonomy.
