Creating a good naming convention that can help you and your team maintain a clean codebase
Easy approaches to help you come up with descriptive clean names
The Naming convention is more important than any other part of clean code. Once you nail the name, everything else fits precisely!
A state management library like Redux, Recoil, etc., can help you manage application state for large applications. These come with their own set of challenges that can be eliminated with good design.
Response during unit tests can be saved in files which can be used for Testing UI.
Be careful not to introduce high coupling between microservices.
Event Sourcing is a paradigm where the entire state of an application is derived by replaying a series of events, providing benefits such as accurate auditing and schema flexibility.
Using ApplicationContext directly can indeed be a handy approach for debugging without setting up the entire application infrastructure.
BEM, TDD, and thoughtful design supercharge web development by streamlining UI DOM planning for maximum efficiency.
Each message sent by a producer would include a unique correlation-id. Once the message is received and processed by the consumer, it will publish a response message back to Kafka with the same correlation-id.
Page Object Model can be used with any testing framework to write cleaner and simpler tests that are fast to write.
Extending our Movie example creating a REST API with TDD. Scenarios covered are Create, Read, Update and Delete.

I believe walking the board is an important step towards facilitating Continuous Delivery. The standup format facilitates perfection in updates, focused on one card at a time which is closer to completion and takes less time to complete.
With TDD, you don't find any logical bugs. The remaining types of bugs are data bugs and configuration bugs. This article discusses configuration validations to find and fix config bugs.
Implementing OAuth server is easier than it looks and it saves money in the long run.
BDD focuses on solving customer problems, not implementation details like UI. Those are addressed in other activities like wireframing and TDD.

Swap left and right. Then repeat for those nodes.
Have a fast pointer and a slow pointer. fast increases by 2. slow increases by 1. if both become the same then the cycle exists. if fast one reaches end then no cycle exists.
go to each depth, incrementing a depth counter by 1. return max of it.
Iterate over both and store minimum one in current; Increment in the list from where minimum came. Once one of the lists is empty, empty the other one.
Check if the last bit is 1 by (n&1). Do the right unsigned shift (logical shift >>>). Loop.
Get the last bit of value from the original. append to the reverse one. shift reverse one to the left. instead of adding, you can do `or` because after the shift last value will be 0. Imp - iterate 32 times only.
Similar to swapping two numbers. Start with prev as null and current and keep swapping next. Return prev because that's the last value.

Check if root is same as subtree or root.left is same or root.right is same;
Make sure the left pointer is always the lowest yet. Keep checking the difference between left and right. And return max.

Loop twice.<br>first right to left while multiplying.<br>Then second left to right while multiplying.<br>This can be done in a single array and one extra product variable
Create a set and put items in one by one while checking if `num` is already there.
compare the count of letters in each word and put group them in a map
count all numbers. sort. and return top k. Use streams to make it cleaner. or use bucket sort.
check if the length is the same.<br> find the difference in the count of letters in both numbers.<br> since there are only 26 letters, you can count in a single int array of 26. <br>index = char - 'a'
Make a map of item and index. Check if target - currentItem exists.
