  • An Ode to Node: Testing Frontend the Backend Way

    ReactNext 2016

    Testing Frontend code is painful. You can either do small unit tests that don't check a lot, or you have to use automation tools to test your code in a living browser. There is a third alternative, which can be a very natural way to test your code - run your frontend code under Node! The benefits are enormous - simple debugging, no need for transpiling and bundling, and no need to raise a server to run the tests.

  • Old Gods & New: A Vision of Backend & Frontend

    You Gotta Love Frontend

    What would happen if we gave front-end developers the task of building a backend server that caters to their needs? What would it do? What capabilities would it have? How would it be different from the current backend servers, built by backend developers? I explore the possibilities and try to envision a future where the front-end developers are in charge of the servers that serve their own front-end code.
