How is it possible that top engineers working in top organisations build frontends that are hard to maintain and grow? We use best practices without considering practical, organisational, business and engineering aspects of frontend development

There’s a popular phenomena where organisations and individual contributors tend to focus on nitpicking while being unbothered by real problems.

That effect isn’t coming from thin air. Like Nokia that did everything good but failed, also software engineers can follow all the best practices and derail a project.

From this article you’ll learn what are the risky misconceptions about major coding guidelines.

Thanks to that you’ll have a better understanding of some nuances practically alter guidelines in frontend.

1. Modular Architecture

Modular architecture is a general guideline of separating concerns and domains with microfrontends or modular application structure.

I won’t discuss microfrontends as a misconception grand, because the literature is…
