The JavaScript could be better organised, responsibilities could be clearer, and the overall architecture would benefit from more modern practices.</p> <p>Still, I decided to preserve it as it is.</p> <p>Older projects are useful reminders that progress is not only visible in the technologies we use, but also in how we model problems, organise code and make technical decisions.</p> <p>It is not a showcase of how I would build the same application today. It is a snapshot of how I approached a real problem at that point in my career.</p> <p>Repository: <a href="https://github.com/lksvn/firefall-perk-calculator" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://github.com/lksvn/firefall-perk-calculator</a></p> webdev showdev learning LkSvn Mon, 13 Jul 2026 03:07:52 +0000 https://dev.to/lksvn/learning-typescript-5g26 https://dev.to/lksvn/learning-typescript-5g26 <p>I've recently started learning TypeScript as part of my journey into the modern React ecosystem.</p> <p>One thing that surprised me is how quickly the focus shifts away from syntax and toward modeling the business domain correctly.</p> <p>While building a simple Candidate Tracker, I found myself asking questions like:</p> <blockquote> <p>When does a freelance opportunity actually become a project?</p> </blockquote> <p>A client saying "yes" isn't necessarily enough. Maybe it only becomes a project after a signed contract.</p> <p>It seems like a small detail, but those decisions directly influence how the application is designed.</p> <p>So far, my biggest takeaway is that TypeScript isn't just about adding types to JavaScript—it encourages you to think more carefully about the rules that define your domain.</p> <p>Looking forward to continuing this project and sharing more along the way.</p> webdev typescript beginners learning
