Sean W. Hammond’s Post

It seems there’s value in trying to understand previously written code and make it more efficient. (Especially utilizing #JavaScript in #ReactJS to break up repetitive code and use logic to handle the components. But sometimes it seems easier to start from scratch, and try to understand the code that way, by completely rewriting it, forcing oneself to think through it again, perhaps in a new way (multiple ways to do same thing). I wonder which approach is better for deeply learning/practicing a programming language, and also which is more common in a typical professional industry (probably the former, but new applications have to be built too — unless they’re always built on top of existing codebases). More updates on these processes to come while continuing to document the journey with JavaScript, #Python, and other languages/technologies such as #Jest, different APIs, and performing CRUD operations for #fullStack projects.
