Most business logic ends up hardcoded deep in your app, and it’s slowly killing your codebase. What starts as a clean service grows into a bloated mess of if-else statements, feature flags, and ad-hoc patches no one dares touch. Before long, your services are "absolute units", ORM models do way more than map data, and you’re moving data back and forth like an unpaid intern, not a software engineer. How did we get here? The real problem: Business logic is treated like an afterthought When w…

When working with web applications, it is essential to understand how data is stored in the browser. Two commonly used storage mechanisms are localStorage and sessionStorage. While both store data as key-value pairs, they differ in lifespan and scope: - localStorage: Stores data indefinitely, even after the browser is closed and reopened. - sessionStorage: Stores data only for the duration of a page session. Once the tab or browser is closed, the data is lost. A common challeng…
