Codetown ::: a software developer's community
Don't you think it's about time we started a JavaScript group? JavaScript has exploded. At this point, that's an understatement. We're going to focus on the whole JavaScript world here and subgroups will fall out later. HTML5, CSS, Node, Express, AngularJS, the list seems to go on forever. This is a work in progress, so stay tuned as we grow. Join this group to keep up with the latest content.

By examining the invisible defaults behind CI/CD bottlenecks, platform complexity, and misaligned metrics, they share frameworks for leading with intentionality. Learn to identify the "decision behind the decision" to better incentivize high-performing teams and careers.

TanStack Start has introduced a import protection, which aims to prevent server and client code from being mixed in full-stack React applications. This Vite plugin automatically checks imports during development and build processes.
