As I read Eric Evan's Domain-Driven Design book, I find the idea of using Services as well as Objects to be a very natural fit for handling real word scenarios. I come to UML from working in the industry and needing a more rich vocabulary to describe architectural choices. The Universal Modeling Language, UML, was never seen be me to only be for Object Oriented Design. In fact, the Sequence, Activity, State, and Use Case diagrams all lend themselves to many different paradigms of programming, such as Functional Programming.

As I look to the polyglot of code languages out there, I am drawn to Python.

I am embarking on setting a timer in the morning to read 15 minutes a day. This should help me: * keep sharp * get through more Software Architecture books * train my mind to think through larger complex issues * broaden my horizons

Running Selenium scripts to do automated testing of web pages greatly reduces the time it takes to test a web application. Also, the quality of the tests becomes very high and gets us closer to TDD, Test Driven Development.

Kudos to the Visual Studio Code team at Microsoft for helping coders with tools for creating more Accessible websites!

When looking at the https://sass-guidelin.es/#the-7-1-pattern, I am not inclined to use it exactly.

I am using https://scotch.io/tutorials/using-sass-with-the-angular-cli tuturial to remember how to do stylings with scss and Angular.

I write and debug a lot of TypeScript/JavaScript. Although, I also do C#.net, T-SQL, Bash, Batch, and Powershell, JavaScript has been a main stay of mine sign 2014. I have found JSON.stringify and JSON.parse to be highly valuable tools of the trade.

There is a tendency to push for the smallest, most compact code at all times. But, that is a mistake.

Instead of putting logic and structures directly into a component, function, or class, I find it best to begin with moving those structures whether as : 

• struct
• type
• data type
• mock data
• initial data
• discrete logic 
• call to database
• call to third party
• storing data in cookies, session, or local storage

Following along with Bill Odom on his SpaceWalk GitHub from his presentation at ng-conf from 2019.

When refactoring code, keep in mind that moving logic to smaller discrete files/classes/methods/functions will help you and other humans understand the code better six months from now.
