5 JavaScript tricks that made me go "wait... WHAT?" I've been coding for 4 years. These still surprised me. ① Optional Chaining (?.) No more "cannot read property of undefined" crashes. user?.profile?.avatar ✔️ ② Nullish Coalescing (??) Only falls back when value is null or undefined. const name = user.name ?? "Guest" ✔️ ③ Array Destructuring with Skip Skip elements you don't need. const [first, , third] = [1, 2, 3] ✔️ ④ Object Shorthand Stop repeating yourself. { name: name } → { name } ✔️ ⑤ Promise.all() Run multiple async calls at the same time. 10x faster than awaiting one by one. ✔️ JavaScript is weird. But once it clicks — it's magic. ✨ Which one did YOU not know? Drop the number 👇 #JavaScript #WebDevelopment #MERNStack #ReactJS #CodingTips

Completely agree with you
Honestly? Promise.all() was my biggest mind-shift. 😅 I used to await every API call one by one. Then I discovered Promise.all() and realized I was wasting seconds on every single request. The day I refactored my code with it — My app felt like it got a turbo engine. 🚀 If you're still awaiting calls one by one in 2026 — This is your sign to stop. ⚡ Which one surprised YOU the most?
