Developer Experience (DX)
- Fast development server with HMR
- Clear error messages and debugging tools
- Consistent code style enforcement
- Efficient build times
Production Quality
- Optimized bundle sizes
- Code splitting and lazy loading
- Tree shaking and dead code elimination
- Proper caching strategies
Team Collaboration
- Standardized project structure
- Shared configuration and conventions
- Automated code review checks
- Documentation and knowledge sharing
