S3E6 | Jo Hanna Pearce On Keeping It Simple | Dev.Life 1:21:41

1:21:41

“Information occultation…?” If you’ve never heard of it, neither had we. But chances are, you’re actually quite familiar with when things become more complicated than is necessary. Whether writing hard-to-follow code, making UI that’s overly difficult to understand, or taking part in the “Rockstar Developer” mentality, it’s not uncommon for developers to know these kinds of work practices all too well. But, using the advice & wisdom of Nx DevTools & Nx Cloud Core Team Member, Jo Hanna Pearce, we can work to keep things clean, simple, & understandable from both a code and human perspective. And probably for Kelpies too!
