In that article, I mentioned that […]

Hello again. This is Sergey Omelnitsky speaking. Today I will share one of my headaches with you, specifically what to do when a project is being developed by many programmers of different levels, using an Angular application as an example. It has been my experience that I worked for a long time only with my team, where we had long ago agreed on formatting rules, commenting, indentation, etc. We have gotten used to […]
