Episode notes
When to Use requestAnimationFrame
- Use requestAnimationFrame for animations or frequent DOM updates without bogging down performance.
- Let the browser control the update frequency to optimize speed based on device capabilities.
Better Code Review Process
- Automate linting and style checks to reduce manual errors in code reviews.
- Use GUI tools like GitHub's VS Code pull request extension and formalize your review process for larger teams.
Practical Uses for CSS ATTR()
- Use CSS ATTR() to access HTML attributes directly in styles for cleaner, centralized styling.
- Pass declarative settings like colors or counts as attributes instead of inline styles for better maintainability.
