Writing code is the easy part; knowing which tool fits the job, and being able to explain why, is what separates mid-level developers from seniors. This course by Dmitriy Zhiganov builds that judgment through real frontend decisions rather than more syntax.
How the course works
Each topic starts from a single question: does this tool actually fit the task? From there it walks through team context, project constraints, the cost of changing course later, and the trade-offs involved. There's rarely one right answer, only a choice you can justify.
What you'll practice
- Weighing tools against each other with concrete pros and cons
- Making choices based on project needs rather than habit
- Thinking through problems the way a tech lead would
- Explaining technical decisions clearly and concisely
Who it's for
Aimed at mid-level developers moving toward senior roles, and new seniors preparing for system design interviews, especially anyone who can build features but struggles to structure a plan or defend their choices.
