This is how I write software. My stackblitz is full of domain independent experiments https://stackblitz.com/@Pyrolistical https://stackblitz.com/@Pyrolistical. I then copypasta this into private projects once I figured out how the individual piece works.
- josephg 4y agoYeah I love this approach too. I’ve been learning CRDTs lately and I’ve gotten so much value from making tiny, inefficient reference implementations of things before diving in and optimizing. Toy implementations shake out all your misunderstandings of your design, and you can refactor like crazy. Going from simple code that works to complex code that works is much easier than creating the complex code correctly from scratch, in situ.
