When building UI screens (on mobile apps) or pages (on web apps), you want to focus your energies on your specific business problems. What you don't want to do is spend time reinventing the wheel.

Caching is a broad topic (what isn't?). In this podcast, I've only tried to scratch the surface. How do you determine what to cache? And once you do, how do you go about it?

If your pages take too long to render, caching may be a solution but before you go all out and start implementing or improving it, ask yourself if there are other fundamental problems that need addressing first (which led to the issues in the first place).

I've worked on making performance improvements across all tiers, and in a variety of ways within any given tier, during the course of my career and one thing I can say with a good degree of certainty is that it gets more challenging as you get closer to your goal. Reducing a page rendering time from 3 seconds to 1 second is a whole lot easier than reducing it to 900ms, then to 800ms, and then to 50ms!

You have to make a conscious effort to keep your code base DRY. Every time you make a change, add a feature, or fix a bug, make an effort to find duplication and to determine design patterns. This will play a huge role in keeping your code DRY, and maintainable in the long run.

Some of us prefer a framework that offers a lot more than what we might initially want, while others prefer a library that is small and simple but offers the barest minimum. Based on that simplified definition, what do you generally lean towards?

Before you implement something, ask yourself if it needs to be implemented at all.

If you are building integrations, or leverage other API Providers to reduce your Time to Market, you are bound to consume a fair number of APIs.

When you do that, how quickly your team wraps their head around a brand new API is going to make all the difference between going LIVE in the next sprint vs one down the road. We use a simple tool that we created for one part of this purpose. Let’s explore it.

1. Go to https://getsnowpal.com, and purchase it on the Web

2. On your phone:

    (i) If you are an iPhone user, go to http://ios.snowpal.com, and watch the course on the go.

    (ii). If you are an Android user, go to http://android.snowpal.com.

I've been using GitHub Copilot for a few months now, and am ready to share my thoughts on it.
