Front End Vision
What is the problem I am currently solving?
What is the problem I am not currently solving?
How to reason about this?
What are the problems our front end IS currently solving?
The front is doing client stuff
Writing client-side code to display our system value to our customers and let them interact with our system.
Or is it ?
The front is also...
...coordinating back-end components to create a useful experience
...implementing domain logic
The front is also...
...coordinating with third party services, tracking and monitoring, A/B testing...
The front is also...
...doing authentication and authorisation related stuff
The front is also...
Are we still talking about front-end ?
What we collectively call "the front" is actually a customer facing web app
A.K.A the way people experience the Sunday value proposition
Writing client-side code to display our system value to our customers and let them interact with our system.
Web Apps ( = User experience)
Performance
Domain Logic
Monitoring
UX
The front at Sunday
Save time for what matters...
Our job is not to write client-side code, our job is to build the technical bricks that unlock great UX
Principle #1
What are the problems our front end IS NOT currently solving?
What pain points are not directly addressed by our current architecture?
The alignment problem
Heard at the office
React is difficult
Why would the cop front works better than previous attempt at alignment ?
Is Remix yet another framework ?
Why do we have multiple libs that do the same thing ?
Where do we stand regarding BFF ?
Let's talk about React
A JavaScript library for building user interfaces
Does our alignment policy save or waste us time?
Spending vs Investing
Help developers focus on what instead of how
Principle #2
The ownership problem
Flow stakeholder
vs
Standalone feature
Does our alignment policy save or waste us time?
Pillars dictate ownership but user experience drives collaboration
Principle #3
A tale of three principles
Our job is not to write client-side code, it's to build the experience people have of Sunday
Principle #1
Our time should be spent on creating value, not on debating over tools
Principle #2
Pillars dictate ownership but user experience drives collaboration
Principle #3
React Router
A use case
A decision framework
Does this technical help us improve user experience?
Does this technical solution help us focus on delivering value?
Does this technical solution facilitate collaboration between pillars?
