Lessons Learned: Shortening the Feedback loop

Explore how reducing the feedback loop in full stack web development transforms programming from waiting for results to actively sculpting your application. Understand principles that improve coding efficiency, speed up debugging, and enable iterative development, making programming more productive and enjoyable.

Web application development combines very detailed work, like adding just two pixels above a component; systems work, like that the front-end should submit only an ID; and general principles. This section summarizes the general principle we should always use. Good principles help to drive a productive and effective process. We discuss the three principles that we suggest following in the sections below.
