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
