How to Ship Apps Faster as a Software Engineer

Building faster has almost nothing to do with typing speed. It comes down to what you skip, what you reuse, and what you refuse to build from scratch. These five tips are the ones I lean on in every project, and I break each one down in the video.

What's inside

• Why authentication should be the last thing you build, not the first
• Simulating a signed-in user so auth never blocks your progress
• Centralizing helpers and constants so changes touch one file
• Cutting scope to a real MVP and shipping for actual feedback
• Designing in Figma (or on paper) before you write a component
• Using existing tools instead of rebuilding solved problems
