As a consultant, I’ve found 7 common reasons dev teams struggle:
1. Using complex tools they don’t need
2. Slow, flakey dev environment
3. No mock API
4. No mock dataset / database
5. Few / no tests
6. No custom dev tools
7. No process for building features in isolation
How I help teams solve each:
1. Implement simpler approaches
2. Enable local dev (see below)
3. Use json-server, msw, etc
4. Declare a canonical dataset that hits all edge cases
5. Write tests and run on CI
6. Build custom tools to streamline
7. Establish atomic workflow
