Becoming an independent developer means transcending employee mindset, leveraging social media & personal brand to attract clients, and prioritizing long-term cooperative relationships over short-term gains.

Software is a reflection of the real world, created to solve specific problems & improve human lives. However, it can also be used for evil if exploited for selfish gains, emphasizing the importance of ethical considerations in software development.

Future.js isn't about the future approach, but a "future-oriented" ecological matrix for building web apps. It's not a framework, but a comprehensive, combinable, and progressive toolset.

Open-sourced 2 UI libs with "Design" name, but they're too monolithic. Introducing 'Fxxk Design', a new approach for atomic & loosely coupled architecture in design-to-code projects.

Introducing 'Anti-chaos', a plan to eliminate disorder in software development & web dev through standardization, reusability & industrialization, promoting orderliness & collaboration.

Separate frontend code into distinct components (app, module, data) for clean & modular design. Use abstraction to simplify complex systems & validation to ensure data integrity. Event-driven arch allows flexible communication between components.

Designing a frontend component system: Components (Controls, Widgets, Pages), Data Perspective (Views, Fields) & Context. Separating concerns, single responsibility principle & modular architecture for scalable UI development.

Modularization breaks down complex problems into smaller, independent modules for easier maintenance & reuse. Use dynamic or async imports to avoid timing issues with static imports.

Front-end project directory structure patterns: "Wild" (mixed code), "Layered" (separated layers), and "Modular" (self-contained modules) each with pros & cons. Modular pattern offers highest cohesion & ease of integration.

Front-end engineers often focus on front-office development, but mid-to-back office work is just as crucial. Clarifying the differences between "front office", "mid-office", and "back office" can help bridge the gap in understanding.

UI components should be business-agnostic to meet various needs. Use natural characteristics like color attributes instead of complex types.

UI components can be atomic (indivisible) or composite (composed of others). Classification: atomicity, generality, functionality & virtual components for multiple inheritance. Variability affects reusability & extensibility.

Front-End refers to client-side of web app where users interact. Involves JavaScript, HTML & CSS. UI Components are building blocks of user interface, reusable across apps. Data is exchanged between users & computers using various data types.

Proposed 9-grid model for structuring presentation layer into abstract, runtime, adaptation & data layers. XML-like templates recommended for view structure description, consistent with HTML & popular frameworks like Angular & Vue.

MDA for web front-end dev: 3 layers - Description (DSL), Packaging (packager), Rendering (runtime). Separates concerns & makes changes easy. Uses OOP, FRP, FP programming paradigms.

Front-end engineers should focus on solving complex problems, not just implementing features with specific tech. Two career paths: technical direction or business direction. Choose wisely for a successful future in front-end dev.

Front-end engineers should focus on understanding underlying principles, simplifying complex systems and sharing perspectives through open-sourced code. Measure experience by experiences, not age or years.

Separate concerns with config-driven approach: templates define structure, models manage data, logic executes actions & themes configure styles & behaviors. Faster dev, easier maintenance & improved flexibility result.

Separate presentation from logic with a neutral template language. Define custom tags, parse into node trees & use reusable components. Reduces migration costs & improves efficiency in business front-end dev.

Front-end devs face inconsistent dev experiences & messy tech stacks across platforms. Web Components offer a solution with reusable UI components. A Universal Component Writing Spec (UCWS) can standardize component writing, simplifying development.

OpenBuild's front-end codebase now open sourced! I reduced entropy by adjusting file organization & adding constraints. Participate in co-construction: read docs, pick tasks on GitHub, fork branch, develop locally & submit PR.
