Functional Programming for Testing
- Primarily code functionally for easier testing of single functions with clear inputs and outputs.
- Functional programming simplifies testing and enhances code clarity.
Interfaces vs. Types in TypeScript
- In TypeScript, default to interfaces due to their flexibility in extending and utility.
- Types are useful for custom aliases, but interfaces offer broader functionality.
Tabs vs. Spaces
- Use tabs for accessibility, as they are one character displayed according to user editor settings.
- Spaces offer fixed width (two or four) but limit user control over display.
