Front-End Workflow

Automate the Mundane: Moving away from manual processes to using Task Runners (like Gulp or npm scripts) and Bundlers (Webpack, Vite). If you are manually refreshing the browser or copy-pasting files, you are wasting time that automation could save.

Supercharged Styling: Integrating CSS Preprocessors (Sass/SCSS) into the workflow. This allows you to use variables, nesting, and mixins to write cleaner, modular code that compiles down to standard CSS, rather than writing repetitive stylesheets by hand.

The Instant Feedback Loop: Setting up Hot Module Replacement (HMR) and Live Reloading. The modern workflow demands that changes in your code reflect instantly in the browser without losing state, drastically speeding up the trial-and-error phase of UI development.

The "Production" Pipeline: Understanding that the code you write is not the code you ship. A proper workflow includes a build step that transpiles modern JavaScript (Babel), minifies assets, and "tree-shakes" unused code to ensure the final bundle is as small as possible.
