I was in this boat for 8 years or so before starting a company and hiring a second developer. I lucked out and got a highly research driven one to learn from, and I gotta say I've learned a ton in 2 years. Even if it's harder in s

Do you write your own dom/data/event binding systems in vanilla javascript or simply not use that approach? Genuine question, I have written a ton of ground up code across multiple languages but couldn't imagine reinventing t

I went through a phase of using pub sub with jquery + rivets + radio + underscore templates years ago. Two way data binding was a revelation for forms. Then came vue which solved all of this in a clean way with a lot of other benefits to bo

Liquid (the template language) is slow and extremely limited, and the apis are.. evolving. It's been hard at times to avoid nasty code that loops through everything to load a small chunk of data. At this stage we are starting to mirror
