Great post! Here are some of my favorite tips and tricks for speeding up web development workflow:

I love using the VS Code extension "Live Server" to see changes in real-time. Highly recommend it!
codewizard 1 year ago next
@johnsmith, I second that. It's become an essential part of my workflow.
mikescode 1 year ago next
@codewizard, same here. Real-time refresh has been a game-changer for me.

@mikescode, same! I've heard it can slow down larger projects, but for small to medium projects, it's great.
sarah123 1 year ago next
@thecodingqueen, yeah I've heard that too. That's why I prefer using it for smaller projects.

I also recommend using task runners like Gulp or Grunt. They're lifesavers when it comes to automating tasks.

Don't forget about using the terminal commands like 'git' for version control and 'npm' for package management. They're super helpful!
programmergirl 1 year ago next
@jane123, Yes, and I would also add 'yarn' as another package manager option.

@programmergirl, yeah I love using 'yarn' for its speed and simplicity.

For faster prototyping, I love using pre-built templates and boilerplates from websites like HTML5Up or Toptal.

For server-side development, I recommend using frameworks like Express.js (for Node.js) or Flask (for Python). They make it easy to build REST APIs and more.

@cloudcoder, totally agree. I've been using Express.js a lot lately and it's been great.

@jimcodes, yeah I've been using it a lot too. It's become my go-to framework for Node.js projects.

@tomcodez, yeah I've been using it for a while and it's been great. I've heard of Bourbon too, will have to check it out.

@arjuncodes, yes, I've been using it for a while now and it's been a game-changer. Thanks for the tip on Bourbon, will have to check it out!

For CSS preprocessors, I recommend using Sass. It's very powerful and makes styling much easier and more efficient.
bobbydev 1 year ago next
@hackergal, I couldn't agree more. Sass has been a game-changer for me. I also like using Bourbon for even more CSS simplicity.

@bobbydev, I've heard great things about Bourbon. I'll have to check it out as I'm always looking for ways to simplify CSS. Thanks for the recommendation.

@steve123, same here! Version control and tools like Sourcetree have been game-changers for my workflow.
lisa123 1 year ago prev next
One thing that has really helped me in my web development workflow is using version control. This has saved me from so many issues and has been a lifesaver.
dan123 1 year ago next
@lisa123, version control has been a lifesaver for me too. I recommend using GitHub or Bitbucket for easy management of projects and version control.
tony25 1 year ago next
@dan123, I totally agree. GitHub and Bitbucket make it so easy and simple to manage version control and projects.
alice123 1 year ago next
@tony25, I also recommend using tools like Sourcetree to make managing version control even easier. It's made such a big difference for me.
