“Should designers code?” or “Should coders design?”—these two eternal questions are being asked for years with no particular answer given.

* How to let developers know what typography style or button variance they should be using on this particular screen?
* How to ensure that the whole UI is consistent?
* How to let designers know that some screen design doesn’t fit the requirements and needs to be updated?

In order to answer those questions designers and developers have to speak the same language. But what language should it be?

UI components and pattern libraries can provide this intermediate abstraction and be a common language for both designers and developers.

No other topic in software development probably has so much controversy as linting.

With a wrong workflow linting can be really a pain and will slow you and your team down. With a proper setup, though, it can save you hours of manual work reformatting the code and reducing the code-review overhead.

This talk is a quick introduction into how 🚫💩 lint-staged — a node.js library I created and maintain — can improve developer experience in historically pita field — linting.

Coupled with tools that analyze and improve the code like ESLint, Stylelint, Prettier and Jest, you'll witness how much difference can a small tool like this make.

Make linting great again

Nowadays, lots of JavaScript frameworks and UI libraries are focusing on building UI components. With the rise of ES2015 modules and modern build tools, we are now able to split our JavaScript codebase into smaller pieces that encapsulate their behavior and logic.
